Merry Christmas! Remember to keep Christ in Christmas!

Ahh, there is little in any of the myriad existences which give as much joy to a Devil's heart as the twisting of one's mortal enemy's name into the most offensive and pushy of curses. Truly, it can be said that the greatest turning point in our war against HIM was when we discovered that by proselytizing for him, in our own way, we could do him more harm than by all the evils inflicted on mankind in our own beauteous forms.

I was reading one of my favorite books today. "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"

I had scarcely gotten through the first few pages when I realized that I'm no longer living in a world where that story is possible.

Arthur Dent, Hero of millions, maker of sandwiches, and all around confused person...

Would have been run over by a bulldozer at the end of page three, ending the story.

As of today, you still will have a pension. (Admittedly, LESS than you did yesterday. But think of all those poor people who don't get any, and realize that you're better off!)

I think it's time that I come clean on one of my more unusual hobbies, especially for a die-hard anti-war guy.

I play miniatures war games.

Now, that may seem like a contradiction in terms, but when you look at the history of these games, the truth is that it is not quite as bizarre as you might think.

First off, the first true mini war games was designed, published, and played by one of the most anti-war authors of his generation, Herbert George Wells.
