The music was thumping with a steady beat, strobe lights glittering on dancing, gyrating Chattanoogans, some in golden cages. A fantastic ice sculpture and Black Tie Affair bartender made chilled martinis for people swaying to the crooning of a...

On the 3rd we have our first FIRST LEGO League Tournament. It is the Tullahoma Local event. I have not said anything about this because I wanted it to be a sort-of secret. Our team is "Team Terastorm", named after...
I know this is a little morbid, but recent events inspired me to think about what might be on the program at my funeral. Of course I would want the gospel preached so that all would know the only source...
Yesterday Ian got sick and had to leave daycare early. Rebecca and her dad stayed with him over at his house. Rebecca’s dad asked Ian, “Are you comfortable”, Ian responded, “I’m not comfortable, I’m Ian Reardon”. Smart boy.
In unrelated news,...
My step-daughter flew off to Hawaii a few years ago with no funding for school and only a few hundred dollars in her pocket to attend the University of Hawaii. Scared the crap out of us, but she made it...

As if my loathing for all things Ohio needed anymore fuel. Currently most of the "babes" featured in this video can be found living in a early 80's half-brick rancher in the suburbs of Cleveland. They're big fans of Dancing...
Fellas, over at Acton I wrote a little op-ed piece about Bill Cosby's new book. Ninety-four percent of all blacks murdered are killed by other blacks. For many blacks, a Klu Klux Klan rally is a safer place than their own...
