Well, not literally... I didn't get my normal window seat, but at least I am not scrunched in-between a couple of people and all their stuff. 767's are good for that. I've been thinking about the recent events, and love the preponderance of blogs, comments, posts, etc. about the action against bin Laden... to a …
Riding Horses…
Earlier this week, I visited some friends who have a ranch in Nevada. Being a city/suburban kid, the only time I got close to farm animals was on school field trips. There were some ranches around the area I lived growing up, but all I would do is run by them and see the animals …
A Whole Lot O’ Nothin…
I called my dad on my way home from work today. I decided that my life wasn't complicated enough, that I would use my only sanctuary (my car) to, not relax and de-stress from the craziness of the day - no, I was going to use that time to catch up on all of …
Mission Possible – Pushing Past Your Fears…
I went to the doctor on Saturday to get some xrays. I've been having some back pain, and my doctor wanted to take a deeper look. No big deal, I was in pain, but not debiliated. I knew that certain things would show up, because they had been there since I was a teenager. Again, …

Kid Stuph about kid stuph…
My daughter just got home last night from being half way around the world on a mission trip. She was so excited! I loved hearing the stories during the ride home. Some amazing things happened on the trip, and at some point I'm sure I will see the 2000 + pictures she took (no fooling... …
New Goal… Post a week in 2011
I grew up in a very competitive family. My brothers, who were all older than me, were great at sports. Ron was so good, his coach told him to try the Decathalon, and he almost qualified for the Olympics in just his third attempt. Yeah, you know it... the kinda guy you love to hate …
Seeing with different eyes…
I love photography. I remember being in high school, and dreaming of becoming a photographer. I loved the idea of putting what I saw on film and sharing it with the world. I also loved how others could see the same thing I saw, yet capture it completely different. This weekend I had a meeting …
In Praise of Older Things…
Ok, I admit it. I am a technogeek. I've always loved technology, progressive stuph, newer, better faster, etc. I'm a Boomer only by age, but more of a Buster and X-er in personality. I jumped on the online bandwagon with Xanga, then Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, and of course, Kid Stuph. I love new stuph... However, …
It’s all about Kid Stuph…
Some time ago, I was working out in the gym early in the morning. They had the big screens going, and I really wasn't paying too much attention to them, but something on CNN caught my eye. Maybe because it was out of the ordinary for CNN (or at least what I thought CNN would be …
“Why” is the question… “What” is the answer…
When my daughter was about 5 years old, we stopped into a fast food place. Next to us in line was a young guy, early 20's, leathered up with a spikey mohawk. To see that now is no big deal - I see 8 year olds sporting the Do, but then it was pretty risque'. Anyway, …
