[This year, as with previous years, I am posting a memorial for Ronald Paul Bucca, the only NYFD Fire Marshall to die the course of duty — that duty being helping to save people in the World Trade Center after the 9/11 attacks. I can add nothing to this tribute by his mother, Astrid Bucca, […]
Clint Eastwood gave one of the most memorable political convention speeches in the past few decades (at least), and the Left Is Not Amused, pushing their “angry, senile old man” memes for all they’re worth.

It’s now been five months since I started following the Four Hour Body diet — here’s my original post on the subject, from two weeks in. Where do things stand now? Well, they stand pretty well. As of this morning (5/31), I am down 26.5 lbs from where I started. My blood pressure has gone […]

Sitting in Section M9, Row E at Falcon Stadium at the US Air Force Academy. We’re here for the AFA graduation ceremony — one of our ‘semi-adopted’ sons, Matt Flynn, is graduating today and getting married on Saturday.
