A reader prompted me to blog action recently by posing this question to us: I’m an engineering student, have read Atlas Shrugged, and agree with the majority of Rand’s principles. My question is, why did you elect to shrug rather
But what about socialization?
Ellis and I have 4 kids. If we want to attend a function together, that means taking all 4 kids along, even if it is an “adult” (read: “boring”) event. Repeatedly, we are complimented on how well our children behave
See Through Optics Mount for M1A SOCOM
The Springfield SOCOM stock is a great compact and light-weight M1A/M14 setup. I recently built an M14 from a Fulton Armory receiver, Criterion barrel, and USGI parts kit from CMP. I purchased a used SOCOM 16 stock (or Scout stock)

The balancing act: wanting it “all” for our kids.
And by “wanting it all”, I don’t mean material goods. We don’t even have cable, and I’m not about to buy my kids an XBox or anything like that. I am a worrier, and I grew up uninvolved with my
Adventures in gardening: my black thumb.
Ellis has accused me (on multiple occasions) of not only NOT having a green thumb, but actually having a black thumb. He says that I can kill any plant, given just a short amount of time. I’d like to say
Efforts in self-sufficiency: breadmaking.
With now 6 family members to officially feed on a daily basis (I say officially, because the nearly-2-year-old now eats as much as our bigger kids), we’ve started to go through a lot of bread in the last year. It
