Bursitis

I'm a right-handed competitive shotgunner. It turns out that shooting 10k or so rounds a year takes its toll, mostly in the form of bursitis in the left shoulder.

This can't be a good thing

None of this is a good thing. I cannot imagine for a moment that a Palestinian mother weeps any less nor any differently over her dead child than a Jewish mother weeping for the loss of her own child.

The OFG's Pocket Knife

I just got Ritashamed. Last night I made mention of the need for 'us' to reduce our non-essential spending. I may or may not have suggested she bears some of the responsibility. A few minutes ago she walked into my office to show me what she'd just found in a closet she's cleaning. Pointing out the...
