Brews You Can Use

I took Marie to the new brewpub for her birthday last night. I paid $25 and enrolled her in the brewpub's mug club: your own private mug that holds over 20 ounces of beer, first beer free, and every beer for the rest of her life will only

The Birthday Eudemon

My wife turns 40 today. No, she won't mind this indiscretion. Other than toddlers, she's the least self-conscious person I've ever met. So what tribute can I give my wife on this occasion, her official entry into middle-agedom? How about this: The

Saturday Stuff and Sucks

Welcome to March. May it bring better weather and health than February. The ten-day forecast in my region is unpleasant, so I'm not holding my breath, but I will continue to take it like a man: holding my head down and whimpering, "It'll never

Abbreviated Eudemon

I didn't get home from work until 10:00 last night, which is about thirty minutes past my bedtime. By the time I got to bed, it was way past. No time for blogging today, though I have two quick things: 1. One out of every ten adult

Planned Parenthood to Golf to Stabbing

I didn't sleep well last night, so I woke up in a bad mood. I read a news story about Planned Parenthood's promotion of pornography [http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/new.php?n=11904] to teenagers, and figured, "I'm in a bad mood already,
