Writing my M.A. thesis. After three months of research, today I started to write. Got 9.5 pages down so far, and it is good. The thing has to be a minimum of 60 pages, but will probably be over 100. If I keep up this pace, I'll be done in two weeks.

Naked girl break.

Go back and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind see again, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life, the Good News is proclaimed to the poor and happy is the man who does not lose faith in me.

No joke. They...

Pathetic...

What a sad announcement, that Obama is going to send more troops to Afghanistan, possibly as many as 35,000 more. We don't even have a clear aim here. He has not pitched this war to the American public in even a remotely satisfactory way. What are our aims there? How could we 'win'? What would 'winning' even look like? And our Man in Afghanistan is...

I'm a simple man. This just made my day.

Greetings all! It has been awhile, and I know you've all been on the edge of your seats waiting for my new blog update. Well, I've been on vacation, and I've had a fine time. Went all over, and now I'm back, with pictures.

One place I went may be of interest to some people here, seeing as a big part of SG is pictures...
