Living in the woods we're surrounded by animals and we see our share of dead squirrels, geese, and deer among others. But when death hits one of your pets, it is specially painful.

Pollution smells like progress
📆 December 11, 2005
I travel to my native country of Iran every few years and find it immensely interesting. It's easy for people living in the West to get caught up in the political news and commentaries and forget that at the heart of every society there are people just like themselves.

Death is too easy
📆 November 17, 2005
I wonder what goes on in the diabolical mind of a man who rapes and murders an innocent child. In this case the culprit was captured and a jury found him guilty. Insane or not, these parasites have no right to life, but there is plenty of good uses for them. Instead we waste perfect — Continue reading »
Jogging in the rain
📆 November 16, 2005
You've gotto love the Northeast weather. One minute it's warm and the next minute it gets cold with a heavy downpour. Such was my jogging for tonight. While I knew the rain was on the way, I thought I might get lucky and beat it. No such luck. I jogged my entire 5-mile route — Continue reading »
