Vacation is almost over…
Still down in southern Indiana about to head for the airport and back home. I’m sure that the ‘fat cat’ is wondering if she’ll ever see me again 😉
It’s been a great vacation, not really looking forward to going back to work, but expect that I’ll survive 😉

Where the weblog name comes
Where the weblog name comes from… My mother asked me earlier today about the name of my weblog…
As a part of a project in a History class at Danville Area Community College in 1992 or 1993, I read a book called The Courage of their Convictions. It was about several individuals that had stood up for something that they had believed in and become the subject of a United States Supreme Court case. It was a great book.
The book’s author had written about his own convictions, and commented that “there is some shit I will not eat”. In other words, there were some things that he would simply not stand for. I feel the same way at times.
The phrase itself is from e.e. cumming’s poem “i sing of Olaf, glad and big”.
Go read it.. it’s a great poem.
