The Pelosi Polka
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi recently slammed U.S. Intelligence organizations by claiming they lied to congress when she reviewed and approved the “enhanced interrogation” methods, including waterboarding. This comes on the heels of a recent release of information citing the exhaustive level of communication from those departments, and putting Pelosi and her cohorts, recent bandwagoneers... »
A Person’s a Person, No Matter How Small
It’s late. I shouldn’t even be awake. But I am posting this because I have to. A 12 year old girl has more wisdom than the majority of our government’s leaders, and she needs to be heard, and this speech, remembered. If the YouTube link goes dead, click here for the Heritage New Media... »
End Game
Vacation is almost over. We’re supposed to leave first thing in the morning but I have a suspicion it’s going to be a repeat of leaving MN – out late, early night, depending on the weather and the respective mood of each family member. There were complications this trip. Sarah’s father has a heart condition... »
An Update or Two
I’m so terrible at this. Now that I’ve forced the issue by publishing the blog entries also on the family website, perhaps I’ll be motivated to post more. If not, give me a nudge and I’ll do my best. There’s not a whole lot to say at the moment, as I am entirely uninspired to write... »
Welcome, River J.
Finally happened! On April 30, at 3:13 AM CST, River Jason High was born weighing 8 pounds and a little over 9 ounces, measuring 21 inches long, and sporting a shock of red hair. Sarah had been having contractions all the previous day, and at 3:00 PM that afternoon a doctor told her to go... »
Catching Up
Ok, so it’s been about four months since I really posted anything of substance here, and I have a lot to talk about from that time. As for last night, Forbidden Kingdom is a very fun film if you’re into kung-fu movies. How can a movie with both Jackie Chan and Jet Li NOT... »
It is will be a Boy!
I haven’t said anything about this so far, though we’ve known now for a couple weeks. We’re having a boy this time around. I’m thrilled, though I do have to admit, and pray that the little guy never reads this, that I was sort of almost kinda hoping for another girl, just because that’s... »
In Memory Of Lady Jane Gray (1991-2007)
Lady Jane Gray, Janey as she was called, Sarah’s cat for 17 years, was euthanized today at 4:30 PM CST. When I first met her, she wasn’t the kind of cat I typically get along well with, and I didn’t. She didn’t like to be held unless it was the last thing on your agenda.... »
Whew
I hadn’t mentioned this before, because I didn’t want to get TOO personal with the information I post in here, but it’s worth noting now. My wife has had a number of miscarriages in the past couple years, and while we’re fairly even minded about it, by which I mean we’re not disconsolate, it’s... »
Much Stuff and More
Another long lapse since my last entry, but that’s ok – we had a lot going on this past week and I can get back to daily entries, or semi daily, moving ahead. The title of this post sort of says it. Though I’ll cover as much as I can, the week was pretty... »
