Wanting to Believe
In a blog entry I wrote for work, I referenced a New York Times story about the presidential candidates’ health care plans. The basic point of the story was that we can’t trust that the numbers from either campaign will end up being true. Both are probably being rosy in their estimates and too critical […]

He Shoots, Rejected!
With the industry I work in ensconsed in the depths of what one co-worker called a “death spiral,” I have concluded that finding extra work in addition to my day job would be a good idea. And what better avenue to pursue than one related to the one I’m on anyway?

Biden in Tacoma
This morning, Sunday, I made the drive from Bremerton to Tacoma, about a 40-minute ride, to take in what will probably be the last major visit by a presidential or vice-presidential candidate to this state.
