Have to re-blog this one, James- it's spot on. In Navy boot camp, circa 1987, my company commander was a Mess Management Speciaist (cook) Chief by the last name of Chapa. The first day or so (here in Orlando, ironically), he instilled just this mentality in us. A guy just couldn't get somethin

In some ways and in some times, having a good memory can be a bad thing. That's a memory of places and things, mind you- not of people. It's always great to look back on the places of your younger days...nice to stroll down Memory Lane whether with others or alone. Who doesn't remember a certain

It's been a rough day....but I will praise the Lord. As Psalm 34:1 advises us, "I will bless the Lord at all times".That means during the good times and the bad ones, though. I spent a good bit of today wondering if my family was OK. One by one, I found out that my sister was OK. Then my mother.

Like many of his predecessors, President Obama flung open the gates of The White House yesterday and welcomed the public into their house. It's sad that many don't seem to have appreciated it. I spent a little over a year working at The White House. I can honestly say that though the hours were l

Evil's coming to town this Friday morning- cloaked under the veil that's known as the Westboro Baptist Church. For some reason, Fred Phelps and his merry band of misfits have decided to throw one of their picketing shindigs in front of Dr. Phillips High School- just 4 short miles from my office.

Thank you, Chick-fil-A. Or perhaps more accurately, "Thank you, S. Truett Cathy."I love Chic-fil-A. I've loved that restaurant since I first had their chicken tenders over 20 years ago. I prefer their Buffalo sauce to anyone else's sauce, and prefer their chicken tenders to any chicken-like parts
