Emotional control
Ability to remember events
Skin that is tan all year long

Three physical things you don't like about yourself:
My weight
My oily skin
The fact that my organs seem to be revolting against their owner

Three things that scare you:
Ticks (Those damn motherf*ckers are just creepy)
Driving in the city (defined as any community that has a one way street)
Charging ostriches

Three of your everyday essentials:
My computer
My MP3 player
My cell which operates mostly as my clock.

Bent glasses (Yeah, I had a run in with a door the other night. Note to parents: shut the hallway closet door at night.)

Three of your favorite bands or musical artists: (Right now?)
The Killers

Hmmm… maybe Green Day

Trust
Communication
A sense of adventure

Two truths and a lie:
I’ve been shot at by communist rebels

Three physical things that turn you on:
Smile/laugh
Hair
Legs

Three of your favorite hobbies:

Air Force intel officer (can’t really consider it, but it’s fun to imagine)

Three places you want to go on vacation:
New York City/the rest of New England
Yosemite
Antarctica. (This would have to be, of course, a winter vacation)

Three things you want to do before you die:
Travel through every state.
Travel through every continent (but if I don’t get to Antarctica, I’ll be okay. So far, that just leaves Africa, Australia and South America)
Get to space. (I will go even if I am a crippled 100 year old)

Three people to pass it on to:
Rene
Mell
Kacey (maybe then she’ll actually post something on her blog)

Meet Bob

 I ordered my Ford Escape PHEV on October 13, 2022 and I finally took delivery on September 1, 2023. h/t to my salesman Meet Bob. Actually, I thought I would come up with a better name since my last car was named Patty because I got her on St. Patrick's Day. But after spending about three minutes trying to think of something clever, I threw in the towel and settled on Bob. So this is a base model PHEV. It doesn't have things like a heads up display, 360 degree camera, premium audio system, etc. Mind you, I came from a base fiesta. Patty had roll-down windows and didn't even have cruise control. This is a very big upgrade for me. A little over two weeks in, I've hit 1,000 miles. I've tried to force some non-ev time. I'm not sure what kind of engine break in is needed for this. I figured I should do some of that and get its first oil change before I head down to Florida with it in November. So far, just one and one-quarter tanks of gas used. Averaging 86 mpg. Most

Be fruitful and multiply...by ten.

Some coworkers and I were talking about that lady in Arkansas that just delivered her 17th child. The Associated Press announced the good news a couple days ago and I remembered the family from the Discovery Channel . The Duggar family had been the subject of a number of specials dealing with large families. They are especially memorable given that the number of kids as well as their, well, peculiar lifestyle. The people that I was talking to balked at the idea of having that many kids with a few of them openly calling the Duggar parents crazy. I have to admit, I think that they are little bonkers in the head too. But you know, that’s cool on the other hand too. And it’s actually impressive that they are able to afford to have such a large family. There are some parts of me that would like to have a large family. (My definition of large stops at five kids just so you know.) But their criticisms largely used the Duggars' religious faith. From what this article indicated, they are pa

Whatever happened to the Queer Golden Rule?

Wow, Tyler Whitney is popping up all over the gay blogging circuit but the rest of America doesn’t care. Mr. Whitney is an 18 year old staffer for a Republican candidate for President. He was outed. This has caused a little firestorm amongst the gay bloggies with many calling this guy a bigot, an a-hole, and even worse. The way some people have responded to this, Mr. Whitney is fit to be tied to the stake and burned for not being a good little gay. I do not deny that Mr. Whitney has done some pretty offensive stuff. Carrying anti-gay placards that aren’t even fit to be called “homophobic” certainly strikes points against him. However, as I read more about him the more I genuinely feel the need to reach out and hug him. Because I know that he has got to be feeling pretty alone. He’s getting grief from two communities who are openly hostile to which he belongs -conservatives and gays. I have to ask though, is he really deserving of such scorn? Look, his “crime” is working for an
