Some Pictures of Sam
I didn’t bring a camera to OATS, so I don’t have as many shots from the festival as I’d like, but here are some shots from the rest of Sam’s visit to Philadelphia and the Jersey shore.
Our friends Ryan and Amy have one of those large inflatable pools in their backyard. I caught a [...]

Blogging is going to be light for the next two weeks. Sam is visiting.
He got a crewcut and looks like a mod. Pictures when I have ‘em.
Reality
Over at Booman Tribune, Arthur Gilroy expounds on his belief that the Democratic primary election boils down to a choice of “The Bitch or the Negro”.
So given these two choices and of course an almost unthinkable third one…the continuation of a set of policies and leaders that has proven to be absolutely disastrous for this [...]

During his first night here, his mom wanted to see him and talk to him over Skype, so after dinner we sat down in front of the computer and dialed up Canada. The conversation was light and fun until it came time to say [...]
