A number of people have chosen for whatever reason to move from warm places like Texas or even Singapore to cold places like Erie. For people like this, I have decided to post these Frequently Asked Questions About Snow as a public service.
Q1: What is this white stuff on the ground?
A1: That stuff that is [...]

Local Homeschool Harassment
Posted in Homeschooling, tagged Homeschooling on November 28, 2007 | 7 Comments »
Most homeschoolers in Pennsylvania (ourselves included) manage to teach our kids at home with little to no trouble from public school officials. The biggest problem we have had is that the school district routinely requests the results of our children’s physical exams, rather than just proof that they have had the required exams. We [...]
The Hunting Song (For the First Day of Deer Season)

Those non-Pennsylvanians who read my blog should know that tomorrow is an important holiday in PA: The first day of hunting season. I don’t hunt, but I like the first day of deer season, because many people take the day off at work. It is almost as good as a vacation day.
Here is an old Tom [...]
Why I Like Mike

I’m watching the presidential campaign from a distance so far, but I have to say I like Mike Huckabee. He is having more fun than most of the other candidates, and he also seems to be unafraid to speak his mind. And unlike Dennis Kucinich, he can speak his mind without strange things coming out.

Remember, Peter Parker lost a job as a pizza deliveryman, despite using his spider powers, because he couldn’t get through New York [...]
Feminism – Why the Neanderthals Became Extinct
Posted in Humor, Science, tagged conservatives, cro-magnon, Feminists, Neanderthals on November 11, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
When a man has traditional views of men’s and womens roles in family and society, he can count on being called a ”Neanderthal.” This is apparently about as accurate as calling someone with prudish attitudes toward sex a “Puritan.” (The Puritans were quite earthy – it was Victorians who swooned easily.)
Here is an article that suggests [...]
Running At Hershey

Yesterday Anna ran at the PIAA State Championship at Hershey in the AAA division. About 300 runners complete in each of the races, and since they are the best in the state, they are often crowded together for much of the race. Anna had the good sense to dye her hair bright red the week [...]

The lazy man buries his hand in the bowl; It wearies him to bring it back to his mouth. Proverbs 26:15
The lazy man does not roast what he took in hunting, But diligence is man’s precious possession. Proverbs 12:25
