Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas.

Avoid extremist wingnuts.

Rerum Novarum.

Nothing will significantly change without serious campaign finance reform. SCOTUS ruling on Citizens United is repugnant.

Catholic, but I welcome any person of good will. Even Methodists and the Amish.

"Who am I to judge?"

Musical Favorites:
All over the map. From Sinatra to some of the stuff that my daughter listens to. Top of the list is Gordon Lightfoot, with no doubt. I sing and play most of his stuff on my guitar (a Martin I bought in the mid 70's). I was raised on the Kingston Trio.

Obviously, Ara was my hero.

At one time I could name the starting lineups for all eight of the 1960 National League teams, including starting pitchers.

After the Nebraska game in 2000, I prayed over Knute's grave to send us a good coach. We got Ty. Nice to see that the Rock still has a sense of humor.
