I’m one of those people who seems to acquire more books than he knows what to do with. They’ll clutter up the bookshelves in my home and sooner or later my wife is suggesting that maybe some should be donated to the local public library if I’m not going to read them all.

Tons of awful parents — parents that deserve lung cancer — have let their kids see this movie and I can imagine every kid walking out of the … Continue reading
I suppose I should start this blog with a word or two of introduction, as this is my first blog for CHUD. But I’ve always said introductions are vastly over-rated. Let’s move forward. Of course, forward momentum cannot be made without a starting point. What better starting point than the past? I have been accosted … Continue reading
