In this case, the stars are Ron Howard, Henry Winkler and Andy Griffith…. … … … supporting Barack Obama! Now Ron and Henry are no surprise, but Andy is a stunner. I would’ve pegged him as a McCain guy – I’m so happy to be wrong. Enjoy the short walk down memory lane with Opie, …
Here’s a summary of what’s been going on in my life of late: Over the long weekend (a.k.a. Columbus Day weekend – or “Insanely Politically Incorrect Federal Holiday Weekend”) sprite and I went to New England for three things: a wedding, visiting family, and a bike ride.

Sen. McCain has had moments of independence from these forces, but in the end he, …
I’m sorry, but John McCain was a POW over 30 years ago. That’s a lot of time for recovery, and he seems to have done just fine compared to some Vietnam vets who are still suffering from PTSD and other major psychological and physiological side-effects from their service – and sometimes imprisonment – in Viet …
To me, chains are WIPs (a nod to Sarah): constant works in progress. Chains have many connotations to me, as well. There’s the bicycling connection: the chain is part of the drivetrain of a bicycle.
