My mom in a nutshell.

Before hubs and I moved to the west coast our family decided that on whatever holiday I didn’t work we should come see all of them. Both of our sets of parents are divorced and his family is on the North Side of Chicago while mine is on the South Side. So we had at least four homes to visit with an hour drive in…

Was Missouri Synod until I became old enough to understand the politics of my church.

A lot of people here aren’t for public education anymore either. Charter schools are literally for profit companies running schools because people think that will somehow work better.

I can’t believe I just listened to that whole thing.

I will root for the damn Cubs, only because my soon to be 89 year old grandma has been a Cubs fan her entire life and deserves to see them win something. Her spending all her nickels in her childhood on their games makes me feel like she deserves to see her Cubbies do something in her twilight years.

I’m a martial artist, and was asked at my last test if I could ever see myself using lethal force. My answer was that I couldn’t see myself planning to, but if I strike someone in the head, I know that’s always a possiblity and would proceed with that in mind.
