Thundershirt!
Herman got a much-needed dog-washing at today’s fundraiser for the Coalition to Unchain Dogs. Durham company Thundershirt was sponsoring the event, and they were raffling off some Thundershirts. Herman, ever socially-inept on leash with other dogs, got to borrow a [Read More]
Shameful
I’ll just record some thought for posterity. North Carolina IS the backwards, ignorant cess pool of stupidity that people from more civilized places have always said it is. I’ve never been ashamed to live in this state. I am tonight. Most of the people who voted [Read More]
Why You Should Vote AGAINST Amendment One
I should have done this during early voting. But if you haven’t voted yet, and you either don’t plan to vote today or don’t know why you should be voting AGAINST Amendment One, here’s why: The rights of ALL UNMARRIED COUPLES will be restricted [Read More]
Vote AGAINST N.C. Amendment 1
Amendment One is not merely “the gay marriage amendment”. But the impetus for the amendment, its sponsors will tell you, is the word of God, and God’s condemnation of homosexuality. I don’t study the Bible. Fortunately, President Bartlet does. [Read More]

Why I Like Where I Live #13: I’m near Northgate Park
I say “#13″ as if I’ve been actively compiling list. I haven’t. I had to go back a year-and-a-half to see what number I was at. And they’re mostly random things that I experience once in a blue moon. There are plenty of great neighborhoods in [Read More]
Things I Did On My Summer Vacation #3 New Bike
Back in May 1996, I acquired two expensive but worthwhile items. One was Aremid. I suppose he was worth it; the jury’s still out. Just kidding, Big Baby Aremid. I also bought a bike. I was living off campus and had a job on campus, maybe less than a mile away. Bike [Read More]
