There ought to be a law against airline flights departing before 6:00 a.m. Or maybe even 7:00 a.m. My departure this morning at 5:20 a.m. hurt pretty bad, especially after an hour+ drive to Manchester and not sleeping at all. I mean, what’s the point in going to bed when … Continue reading
Note: This is a little long but features the many sides of Varrin… Enjoy it 😉 I don’t recall exactly the last time I actually sat down at a set of drums and played but it’s been months… many months. I don’t like to go that long without playing. It’s … Continue reading
I’m not really into birthdays. I quit being so interested in mine when stuff became much less important to me. And I suppose it’s less important partly because stuff really isn’t that important (save my laptop…), and partly because I now have way too much of it. But I’m not … Continue reading

Sometimes email brings good news. This week I got news of several important political victories via email. The news is significantly encouraging given the fact that so few Porcupines have made so much progress in so little time. We influenced the outcome of numerous elections in favor of liberty. We … Continue reading
I’m finding myself a little too busy lately. Fortunately, a lot of the work I’m doing is FSP related. That should be easy enough, right? Let’s just find a few more FSP volunteers to help out with the work! So how do we do that? We’ve got over 6,400 signed … Continue reading
Well, another year has passed and I get to keep my job again. I finished up my annual recurrent training last night without much fanfare. It was, I believe, the easiest recurrent I’ve done so far. Even so, the job is on the line every time you go to the … Continue reading
