Last week, I had a problem with Gmail. I would click “send” to fire off an email, and immediately be told my message could not be sent. A handy-dandy link showed up with the offer, “Click here for more information on the problem.” Clicking the link sent me to a [...]
On Thursday, September 27, 2018, America was glued to their screens. Both Dr. Ford and Brett Cavanaugh were testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee. People watched in restaurants and bars, on their phones, and even on airplanes. That evening, I did what most people do: logged on to the modern-day [...]
I want to point out that I am neither a scientist nor a statistician. I say that because I am going to put some ideas out there, but in no way want to insist that these are conclusions. They are merely observations made by an idiot. Hopefully that disclaimer will [...]

Here’s a paraphrased story: I went to my son’s hockey game. It was a tight game, but they eventually lost. After the loss, I noticed one of my son’s teammates throwing a fit; he was pouting, slammed his stick on the ground, and was loudly complaining that they got robbed, [...]
