Random Thoughts

Random Thoughts

I have a bunch of random, sometimes half-baked thoughts rattling around that space between my ears. Rather than taking the time to write a separate entry for each of them, I'm just going to dump my thoughts here in one big, meandering post. I have very little sympathy for the Occupy Wall Street crowd.  They …

RIP, Bob Barry, Sr.

RIP, Bob Barry, Sr.

Probably everyone who follows Oklahoma collegiate sports has probably heard that former Voice of the Sooners Bob Barry, Sr. passed away today. I really don’t have anything to add to the memories and thoughts of Bob. I will say I always enjoyed listening to him call the games. His enthusiasm and love for the game …

Slowly Creeping Back to Twitter. Maybe.

Slowly Creeping Back to Twitter. Maybe.

A little over a month ago or so (I’m not curious enough to check), I mused about the possibility of complete abandoning Twitter, or, at the very least, making write-only, meaning I might post to it, but not read it. After posting that, I went at least a month without ever looking at my twitter …

Lost

Lost

I’ve been rewatching Lost on Netflix. The first time around, I loved the show. Yes, at times it was frustrating, with the seemingly meandering story and the THOUSANDS of unanswered questions, but I like sci-fi/fantasty/out-there shows, so I enjoyed it nonetheless. As much as I loved it the first time through, it has been SO …

Republicans will be willing to vote for tax hikes…

I like Jim Geraghty’s take on the current no-tax-hike impasse in Congress: I suspect the default of a lot of conservatives is that they might, someday, be willing to entertain the notion of tax increases if they genuinely believed that lawmakers had made a sustained effort to trim the fat from the federal budget. When …

My Favorite Animal

My Favorite Animal

My mom sent me this story. You may have already seen it — it may not even be true — but I hadn’t seen it, and it makes me laugh every. single. time. So, here you go: Our teacher asked us what our favorite animal was, and I said, “Fried chicken.” She said I wasn’t …

What to do with Twitter?

What to do with Twitter?

A week or two ago, a professional colleague (for lack of a better word 🙂 asked me what I think is a pretty good question, “I can’t tell if it’s professionally wise or socially irresponsible to stay silent about my political views. @jasondlee thoughts?” It’s a tough question, I think, so here’s my rambling answer. …

My Son Is Now My Brother

My Son Is Now My Brother

Last Sunday, my wife and I received an answer to many years of prayer as we were given the opportunity to help our oldest son, Andrew, to faith in the Lord. As a Christian parent, I can’t imagine there’s anything more satisfying than seeing your child come to Faith, and that we were able to …

A Goldberg File Sample

A Goldberg File Sample

As I noted on Twitter, it seems that Jonah Goldberg stopped publicly archiving his weekly “Goldberg File” at about the same time he quit letting pictures of himself be taken. That being so, if you want to read this (mostly) weekly , hilarious commentary on… well who can really say, you have to subscribe. However, …
