Well, That Was Eventful
2013, that is. I suppose it’s time to do one of those year-in-review things, and while I don’t mean for it to be one of those annoying Christmas letters that move from triumph to triumph, I guess I’ve got reasons … Continue reading

A Feel-Good Story Returns
Back in January, I blogged about Jon Kitna, a former quarterback for (among others) the Cincinnati Bengals, who had settled into NFL retirement as a math teacher and football coach at the high school he attended in Tacoma, WA. He … Continue reading

QotD: A Week Late Edition
One of the consequences of seeing some things as being outside the purview of the State is that the gap between what is legal/illegal and what is wrong or right is often on display. We’ve seen a number of examples … Continue reading

Merry Christmas to Us

He’s Got the Look
At NPR, Robert Krulwich introduces us to cartoonist Mike Holmes and Mike’s cat Ella. From time to time, he does a self-portrait (with Ella), but he has two rules. There’s a one-hour time limit, and the portrait must be done … Continue reading
