By From http://www.odonnellweb.com • Apr 30th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Teenage unemployment is currently running at 25%. I can’t think of a single teenager that I know that has a traditional part-time job. My 18 year old son is a certified fencing referee.

Today on my way back from handling Spotsylvania reckless driving tickets, I stopped by the McDonald’s drive-through for a quick bite to eat. I ordered a Big Mac. The drive-through guy did a great job of promoting a $1 drink, so I took one of those too. I grabbed my ordered and headed to my […]

It has been awhile since my first hospice patient has passed. I had several other patients assigned to me since then, all of them deciding it was best to go see their heavenly Father right before I had the chance to visit them. I guess I can’t take tha…



Blogshoot!

A group of local blogging and shooting enthusiasts got together Saturday morning at a nearby indoor range. I had a free morning so I joined them for some fun conversation and shooting. It was great to finally put faces on some folks from my blog roll (…
