The Perfect Cribbage Hand - Almost
While playing doubles cribbage over the weekend, I got the best hand of my life. I was dealt three fives and two tens. I dropped one of the tens into the crib. The cut of the deck was the last five for an amazing twenty-eight hand. The first one of my life and the highest hand I have ever seen. I was only the right Jack, instead of the ten, away from the perfect hand. Still in quest of perfection, but one step closer!

I'm a Republicrat
Where is the moderation in this country? I find that there is increasingly no room in the middle. Either you are all left or all right with no middle ground. Politics has never been a cordial affair but there was always room to be educated and change a position without being declared a traitor or unamerican. I don't agree 100% with either political party but I know a good idea when I hear one. Here are just a few of the issues that I support
- Afforable healthcare
- Effective government
- Fair taxes
- Campaign finance reform
- Regulated markets
- Death penalty
- Strong military
- Pro-choice
- Gun control
