Good morning! A new day sparks a new logo! Yes, in order to better reflect my new political angle for this blog, I have re-branded the site with a new logo and color scheme. It’s a work-in-progress, so I’ll be updating elements of it as I find the time to […]
As I think I mentioned, my wife and I have just moved into a new house. This is a wonderful and exciting time in our lives which means that we are basically unpacking things all day every day. Then, to make things even better, we left town for five days […]
Before I start, let me just say that I am also guilty of everything I’m about to criticize. I am a suburban dwelling Democratic upper class white guy who used to be a suburban dwelling Democratic middle class white guy. Sadly, it took this election for me to realize it. There’s […]
