I’ll write about the Restoring Honor rally tomorrow

Prayer request for Maggie Byrd
Maggie Byrd lived with or near my family for most of my life. She will turn 71 on Nov. 18. Without her, I would not have been able to keep my late life partner, Margaret, at home with me instead of in a nursing home after she became paralyzed due to multiple sclerosis in 1992. …

UPDATED: What if the conservative blogosphere went on strike?
I see from posts at dear Attila’s (here, here and here — or click the last one and scroll down) that there is a controversy over “blogola” created by the Daily Caller in an attack on Dan Riehl and Ace at Ace of Spades HQ. And I see a confession from Smitty at The Other …

My current project
I have some clutter to clear and organizing to do and while I’m working on that, something in my schedule has to give and it’s going to have to be the blog rather than my father’s care. I’ve noticed quite the correlation to keeping up with my own fitness program and being able to think …
