OK it isn’t necessarily a world tour. More like a Texas tour. Which is kind of like the world. :> We’ve borrowed the in-law’s RV and are leaving for Austin this afternoon. We’ll be having dinner with my friend John and his family tonight. Tomorrow we’ll go to our old church Hope Chapel. We’ll be…

Justice Scalia Transcript
Via Michael Williams: A transcript of a Q&A with Justice Scalia. Lots of interesting stuff. Lots of stuff I don’t understand. I found this interesting when discussing the death penalty.

Bad Back

Happenings
