Archaeology Anyone?

Although my personal love has always been Roman history from the time of Julius Caesar, my second historical interest has always been Egypt.
Now, UCLA has spent two years working up this virtual tour of Karnak. It makes me wish I had some speed to this old clunker of a computer, but alas, I don’t think [...]

Reaching for the Mature

Okay, my bad. Yech, I hate that stupid term, but it does seem all the rage, even for people like me who need to stick to 60’s jargon.
But I did error, and probably waste your time yesterday. I made a fatal mistake in understanding the human animal. And so I’m going to correct that today. [...]

Two Wrongs Make it RIGHT!

Mostly I can’t get over that the funniest thing I can think of these [...]

I didn’t go to church today. I should have, and [...]

Name Your Impulse

Okay, we’ve been through this before. What in the world makes a conservative, well conservative, and a liberal, liberal.
We try to converse with each other, end up yelling, throwing down our respective hats, and screaming bloody murder. “What is wrong with you. It’s obvious to anybody with a brain!”
Yet, we fail, and we are wont, [...]
