On an October morning back in 2002 I was driving through Northern Virginia outside of Washington DC when I grew too tired to drive and decided to pull over for a nap at a rest stop. I went to bed late the night before and slept on my buddy Joe’s garage floor in Easton Maryland. […]
I Believe In Science
I think it’s funny when people say “I believe in science”. What a complete oxymoron… Scientific analysis has nothing to do with belief. Your belief is irrelevant and inconsequential. Your belief does nothing to promote or validate science. Belief systems are the very antithesis of science. If you want to defend science as a layperson […]
What I’ve Learned While Homeschooling My Son
By design yesterday’s geography lesson materialized into math. I began class by having my son find a map which included a scale of miles. He chose New York State. I asked him to make a template of the scale with a peice of paper. Instead, he decided to incorporate a digital marker to measure distance […]
I’m a Conspiracy Theorist
They preface by saying… “I’m not a conspiracy theorist” As if to draw a moral and rational line in the sand. But really it’s intellectual dishonesty and laziness.

As we leave 2020 in hindsight some look for a beacon of hope that this year will be better than last. From fantastical notions of the “Christmas Star” to the dawning […]
