California dreamin…

It’s a little hard for me to say this without cringing, but I really hope Bernie Sanders wins all of California’s (and the remaining states) delegates tomorrow. Mind you, I’m an independent (with libertarian leanings) and a Constitutional conservative mentality.  Meaning a LOT of what Bern-me stands for and wants (99.999% of it) I disagree Read More…

#bringinghomebabyrub

Many of you may recognize the hashtag my wife created for adoption posts.  She uses it on Instagram and Facebook.  I’ve barely used it, as I haven’t post a lot about our adoption.  But that may change. If you are reading this and haven’t heard, we are adopting.  Shocker, I know.  It was a long Read More…

Happy Mother’s Day…

So today is Mothers day.  I wish I could say that it’s a great day for me, but that would be a lie. For those that don’t know, my mom went home to be with our Heavenly Father back in ‘09.  I’ve missed her every single day since.  There’s so many things I’ve wanted to Read More…

The end of a trilogy?

And so I have finally finished the garbage can patio and the first phase of our landscaping updates.  Burned myself out a bit yesterday getting the next to last project done.  So here’s my area for the garbage cans.  Time to start digging up…and sweating like the dickens.  Sad part, with all the sweating, I Read More…

Landscape 1 to mission control…

Worst night of sleep.  Ever.  Tossed and turned all night, almost literally kicked my wife out of bed.  Sorry for kicking you, darling.  It’s beautiful when you can save a little cash and do some property beautification chores that you’ve wanted to.  Tip: don’t start so late at night however.   Here’s the south side Read More…

Current random thoughts

1) Disagreeing with you doesn’t mean that I hate you, am a bigot, am intolerant, or anything like that.  It just means I see things differently than you do.  You can have your opinion, I can have mine.  One isn’t necessarily right and the other wrong.  Be as convicted in your belief as you want.  Read More…

Sticks and stones…

May break my bones, but names will never hurt me.  I grew up hearing that all the time.  It was a great thought to help me get over the name calling and bullying I endured.  And yeah, I wasn’t the popular kid in school, so I did get called names.  Not often, but enough.  But Read More…

What the ……..

Gay rights leaders and transgender people said the legislation demonizes the community and espouses bogus claims about increasing the risk of sexual assaults. They say the law will deny lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people essential protections needed to ensure they can get a hotel room, hail a taxi or dine at a restaurant without Read More…

What have we come to?

Seriously just read a news article of an 18 year old who will spend the next 25 years for the stabbing death of a classmate. The reason for the stabbing?  The classmate turned down his junior prom invitation. I’m shaking my head and wondering what in the world is so disastrous about being told “no” Read More…

Well…..ppphhhttt

So, I had intended on writing a much longer post today in regards to a spiritual question I have.  But my editor of choice isn’t allowing me to access this blog (the parent site, dndrub.net, is working just fine!). Yes, I could very well do the blog here, but honestly, now that I have noted Read More…
