The visitors depart
I was sorry to see my guests leave this morning, but we had a great time together – including a last-minute photo shoot for the benefit of our readers. For job-related reasons, most of us don’t normally publish pictures showing our faces: so we hit on a compromise. The picture shows Xavier, Ambulance Driver, Lawdog,… Continue reading The visitors depart
A day in pleasant company
Not much blogging tonight, I’m afraid. I’ll try to do better tomorrow. Ambulance Driver and Xavier arrived this afternoon, to join Lawdog and Tole. We spent the day unpacking thousands of my books and stuffing them into bookcases, telling stories of murder, mayhem and mishaps in the medical, police and chaplaincy field, and generally having… Continue reading A day in pleasant company
Lawdog’s here!
Lawdog and his brother made it in from West Texas late this afternoon.

I’ll try to post at greater length late tonight or tomorrow morning, but right now I’m in entertainment… Continue reading Lawdog’s here!

The second, from West,… Continue reading Sniggers of the day
More on fruit juice
In reply to my post about the effects of fruit juice on certain medications, Brigid sent me this picture by e-mail. It was too funny to keep to myself, so here it is! Thanks, Brigid. I needed the laugh! I enjoyed the drawing, so I went to the artist’s Web site. He’s got a lot… Continue reading More on fruit juice
Pink AR-15 raffle for breast cancer research
My buddies at Fuzzy Bunny Movie Guns (FBMG Inc.) are raffling – what else? – a pink AR-15 rifle to support breast cancer research. Details can be found on Larry’s blog. I strongly urge you to support this very worthy cause. Quite apart from the fact that you’ll be doing some good, think of the… Continue reading Pink AR-15 raffle for breast cancer research
An interesting blog
I’ve been alerted to an interesting blog by an e-mail from Mike P. The author describes himself as: An Assistant Professor at West Point’s Department of Social Science (Sosh-P), currently leading a group of eight cadets on a trip to Dharamsala, India. That’s an interesting mixture for a start! He writes about the towns, people… Continue reading An interesting blog
