A tribute to my father.
This day in history.
In 1828, Noah Webster published the first English dictionary.
In 1902, Wyoming received the first JCPenny outlet.
In 1912, the Titanic hit an iceberg that would sink it by morning of the next day.
And…
In 1865, President Abraham Lincoln was shot. He died the following morning.
Good time, eh, Pop?!
Happy birthday. I hope you have a great day!
… and here I am.
I cannot even begin to describe how horrendously busy I’ve been with work. My last post (less the one posted moments ago about the Double Medal of Honor Marine recipient) was in AUGUST! So, friends, family and whomever else I may be forgetting – which apparently may not be very many others – please forgive me for not being able to keep up with requests or contact.
There have been a number of things I’ve wanted to post about over the past 2+ months but haven’t made the opportunity to do so. Hopefully, over the course of the follow days I will have more opportunity to do so. I have this itching desire to write and draw again. I last left off posting drawings/artwork to a different site. But I think I’ll actually post them here as I scan them. It’s just easier. Then there won’t be cross links back and forth.
But a fair warning (to who, but me of course…), just because I’m back in this right now doesn’t mean my time will be easing at all giving to this hobby of mine here at devCAMP. All it means is that I took the moment to POST something! Ha… I just hope it’s not another 2 months before I can have any of this “speshul” time to express myself like this. We’ll see.
Chat soon…

Tonight we were sitting around the dining room table feeding our 4 month old some food by spoon (which is a new thing) and had the Pure 80’s album playing on the iPod and living room stereo listening to Robert Palmer’s Addicted to Love, thoroughly enjoying one another when my dear beautiful 10 year old said, “I’ve heard this song before; I like these songs from the olden times.”
Wow!
I feel old now. My bride and I laughed so hard I nearly farted. Well, okay. I farted. It was that funny.
Just this morning, my 5 year old spilled a full glass of water on the dining room table – she’s not allowed to have cups filled past 1/2 for that reason, she can always go back for more.
Anyway, she cleaned up as best a 5 year old can do, but lacked to remove the sopping wet table runner that my wife so wonderfully adorned our 40 some-odd-year-old antique table with and the water sat and seeped into the wood and has caused separation in it.
We were not very happy. Not happy at all.
At least its only a table and no one lost a limb, though! 
And at least I have a table and a home to put it in. And at least the table was already dinged up being antique and all, so it doesn’t look too horribly bad.
Perspective is great.

Check this story out about the Bible surviving roll-call in the public schoolroom again! Its so encouraging to see this kind of approach to the scriptures in public – just about as accurate of “Separation of Church and State” as one can get nowadays, I suppose.
