Kitchen War
Fred, sullen that Tom was promoted to head chef over him, spontaneously chose to express his profound disappointment in the matter in an unproductive way.

My Dream Woman? Ask Barack Obama
A few weeks ago presidential candidate Barack Obama (D-IL) committed a political gaffe when he opined that some people in Pennsylvania and the Midwest, out of bitterness over dried up industry, clung to religion, guns and anti-immigration sentiment.
Well, this picture is of a pretty lady with a cross around her neck and a pump shotgun in her hands. She's wearing a sidearm (hopefully a .357 Magnum) on her left hip. She's left-handed just like me! Wow!
Uh...is it sick and twisted that a single guy like me finds these two motifs both eerily complimentary and strangely attractive on this woman? [snickering] ;-)

Home On The Range
Have you ever been tempted to quit whatever you were doing, get in your car and escape your life? I have. In my more somber moments I've wanted to leave everything behind as I headed west and became a cowboy.
I'm not kidding.
There's something appealing to the notion of getting back to God's nature and a more pastoral (outdoors) life. Of course, I haven't done it but I've felt like it. As a never-married man with no dependents I could do it, in theory at least. Not that I ever would. However, I'm sure I'm not the only one who's been teased with the thought.
After all, I used to live in Oklahoma.

Could Abraham Lincoln Win Election Today?
Sadly, I fear that our second greatest president (after Washington) couldn't be elected today. In this media-driven image craze Lincoln may not have the presentation/package to offer us. Hey may not make for good television. The only thing he has going for him is the ability—by the grace of God—to hold a shredding country together. Poor guy.

Spring Comes...With a Price Pt.2
I did the deed; I cut my portion of the mountain. I dreaded beginning the task and my experience didn't alleviate my trepidation. I pulled the mower from its winter slumber, gassed it up and began priming the pump. Hmm. It didn't seem to be squishing fuel to the motor (based upon my years of using this lawn mower, I can tell the difference by ear). I tugged the chord. The engine didn't turn over.
After more tugs and more unsuccessful tries I was worried. You know how you "screw your courage to the sticking point," to quote Shakespeare, and plunge into what you don't want to do, only to fear you may fail to do it and, thus, not get it out of the way? I prayed. More than once. The engine started a couple of times but sputtered and died after a bit.
After resting/tugging/resting/tugging the motor roared and kept roaring. I cut the grass in the cool spring day with refreshing wind. This mountain-cutting experience reiterated two things to me:
1. I am woefully out of shape.
2. I loathsomely hate mowing the lawn.
There, I said it and I'm glad.

Spring Comes...With a Price
I am THRILLED that warmer weather came to my Mountain State this week! While we had little bad weather this winter I still enjoy the prospect of the longer days in more agreeable temperatures. The trees' leaves come back, flowers grow...and so does the grass.This is the one thing that doesn't warm my heart. Not that I mind seeing green return to the grass, of course. It's just that the green keeps growing until November or so. I don't like cutting the grass. There, I said it and I'm glad.
The grass around my home isn't all on a flat lot, either. I live on the side of a mountain—literally—and I'm responsible for cutting part of it.
I need to cut my part of the mountain soon (probably tomorrow). It doesn't take forever to do but I realize that, once I start, I'll be doing it for months. [sigh]
Some people love to exercise. Some people love to cut grass. I wish they'd love to cut mine.

Pot holes are annoying. How's that for cutting-edge social commentary? [laughter]
