In what has now become a basically annual or semi-annual occurrence, I’m actually writing a blog entry! Granted I’m almost two weeks late on my annual birthday blog but I’m still going to count it. I’ve written about my birthday at 27, 28, 29, 30 and 31. A bit less than two weeks ago I turned 32. So I guess this is like a state of the union sort...

Here’s why: The biggest reason BY FAR that I supported Democrats in this election is that I am a social liberal. And I don’t want to support what I consider to...

Like many, I’ve followed the Lance Armstrong doping case for quite some time now. It has essentially been ongoing in one way or another for many years and I’m sure it’ll keep going.
