It’s always entertaining to come home to find comments in my weblog. They’re often from Kerri or from Erin, or sometimes some other bloggers. Many of them have made me laugh, cry, or just giggle out loud.
There’s also a large contingent of jerkwads who formerly worked in my organization under me who have chosen to come to my weblogs to post insulting comments about myself, my family, or other people whom I choose to associate with – and often call my friends.
The most recent comments, now deleted, referred to me as a “fat nerd”, which I have to admit was quite the original insult, since I am overweight by about thirty pounds at the current time, and I’m definately a nerd. I mean, look, my hobbies are reading, computing, the internet, technology, and gadgets. So if you think that’s insulting then you are more immature than I thought.
If this is what excites you, coming here and posting comments on this weblog, as if you’re going to upset me, my friends, my family, then you’re wrong. I have lived through far more difficult people and far more difficult situations than worrying about your jerkassed comments here, in this place that isn’t even real.
If you actually believe that this is going to bring me down, then all of you are much bigger idiots than I ever thought.

Stephen Ambrose’s excellent biography of Eisenhower’s war years. The Supreme Commander.
This marks the third World War II book in a row I’ve read – beginning with An Army at Dawn and continuing with Omar Bradley’s memoirs of World War II.
Such a fascinating time in our history.

Cyrus Jones 1810-1913,
Made his great grandchildren believe you could live to 103
103 is forever when you’re just a little kid
So, Cyrus Jones lived forever.

Could you make it shallow
So that I can feel the rain

Muriel Stonewall 1903 – 1954
She lost of her babies in the second great war
Now you should never have to watch as your only children are lowered in the ground
I mean, never have to bury your own babies.
Gravedigger
When you dig my grave
Could you make it shallow?
So that I feel the rain.

Ring around the rosey
Pocket full of posies
Ashes to ashes
We all fall down.
Gravedigger
When you dig my grave
Could you make it shallow?
So that I can feel the rain….
