We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.
I used to think I could be important, and ordered my life accordingly. Now I realize I’m not and try my best to simply know, understand, and do my duty.
My lovely bride and our darling daughter once decided to write down my job description. It came down to this:
1- Bring home my paycheck
2- Lift heavy objects
3- Kill spiders
A guy could do worse, and I would submit that any guy who commits himself to these three items (and their myriad sub-categories) will always have a place to sleep...
