Oregon, I'm Moving Back

So I've only lived in 3 states, but Oregon is my favorite in the union. It's got to be the number one state for having the least laws on personal freedoms EVER! Check this out: Supreme Court Upholds Oregon Assisted Suicide Law

Capital Punishment...Why Not?

First off, I'm against capital punishment. This 76 year old prisoner was "blind and mostly deaf, suffered from diabetes and had a nearly fatal heart attack in September only to be revived and returned to death row, [and] was assisted into the death chamber by four large correctional officers and lifted out of his wheelchair." His lawyer appealed his execution saying that it was cruel and unusual punishment to kill a man at the prisoner's age. Again, I am against capital punishment. However, I would be begging for them to kill me if I was 76, blind, mostly deaf, diabetic and in a wheelchair on death row! I think the state did him a favor.

Happy Birthday Ken!!!

Hey it's Little Kenny's birthday and he's stepped onto the threshold of being in his mid-thirties. I was going to put a highly embarrassing picture of Ken to really make him feel great on his birthday. But then, a thought hit... he can do the same to me and doesn't have to wait until it's my birthday! So fear has won out... have a good one Ken!

Baby New Year!

So it's been forever since I've really sat down at the computer. I blame the holidays. The good news is that my sister had her baby on New Year's Day! I usually don't like to write about personal stuff, but this is too big for me to contain myself. He's her second and he's cute and healthy. Now it's time to go help with the little pooper; however, I don't change diapers, so I'll be doing more holding and non-toxic things like that. Happy New Year!
