Today would have been my grandmother’s 83rd birthday. She passed away on April 4th of this year (Easter). This is the obituary that was published by the funeral home in San Antonio. Margarita P. Galindo passed into her Lord’s hands on April 4, 2010 at the age of 82 years. She was preceded [...] August 29th, 2009
I have a friend who has been having a good go at life recently.

This evening, purely by accident, I stumbled across a Youtube video that combines philology and boobs. Now, I’m [...] July 28th, 2008

Since arriving in Tennessee for my “vacation”, I have noticed something about the way people talk here compared to how they talk in the DC area. Now, I know a lot [...] May 14th, 2008
My Battle Buddy, Mike D, was digging through his old archives of video and pictures from us in Iraq. He found actual footage of me mingling with some of the locals. I thought I had put this ugly chapter of my life behind me, but apparently I was wrong. “Damn, it DOES feel good to be a [...] |
