Tonight I will be in Moberly attending the opening of the mobile Vietnam Memorial display at the VFW. I may also be staying in Moberly Saturday night, after I’ve moved in the furniture that Kevin and Rachelle have brought down for me from Kansas City. I have enjoyed the various projects of Seth Green for …

What I’m up to
Well, the ATA may be the single worst investment I’ve ever made. Not only is it not providing me any opportunity to actually train in martial arts skills, but it is so horrible that I’m finding it difficult to get motivated to actually show up. It is, essentially, an over-priced aerobic dance class. I attended …
Third Course
Well, it looks like I have a new course to study! I have been working my way through two courses, while I’m waiting for OCS and college, later. The first is “Zola’s Introduction to Hebrew,” the best introductory Hebrew text I could find. This course is offered through “Hebrew for Christians.”The second is AWAI’s “Accellerated …
Redacted
I am officially boycotting Brian de Palma–not that I was a big fan of his before. Other people might consider doing the same thing. Mr. de Palma is in the process of releasing his new movie, “Redacted,” crafted specifically to hurt the U. S. war on terror. It consists of several stories of military members …
Investools
I won’t be in tomorrow; I’ll be attending an Investools seminar in Columbia. Although I won’t be able to make immediate use of the knowledge thus gained, I hope to begin investing in the market by May of next year. Sunday I will be attending church services at the Unity Christian Church in Jefferson City. …
War on Terror
Well, September 11th has come and gone, and the “big gift” that al’Qaeda kept hinting at apparently never got delivered. Of course, the War on Terror not only isn’t working, it doesn’t exist. Right.
Petraeus and Congress
I’ve been watching General Petraeus report to Congress on Fox News. The anti-victory congressmen seem to keep harping on the lack of political progress as compared to military progress. My question is, why don’t the politicians leave the military planning to the generals, and take care of the political arena themselves? Perhaps some visits to …
Patriot Day
Today is Patriot Day, officially designated a holiday back in 2001 by Congress and the President. It is a day to remember the 3,000 who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks of 9/11; to remember the people who fought back; to remember why we are fighting for freedom and democracy in the middle east. …
Lodge
I attended Lodge last night, for the first time since I started my new job in March. If you aren’t aware, this would be Acacia Lodge #602, Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons. I served as an officer in two first-degree initiations; it is really impressive to take part in the ceremonies as an officiant, remembering …
On Victim Disarmament
Today, someone in a nearby office got into a victim disarmament argument with some civilian secretaries. It was regarding a shooting in a McDonald’s in northern Columbia (MO) over the weekend. One of the secretaries apparently voiced the opinion that it was a good thing that the victim hadn’t been armed, as this would have …
