There are times when we, as a country, are just stupid. This is one of those times. It doesn't matter what side you are on, because those with the power of decision are willing to negatively impact us so they can play politics. I think we should penalize them for every day they delay a …
Two plus Two = Blue Green Algae
On a very hot September day, my daughter and I made our way to Livermore, Ca. to have lunch with a young woman we haven't seen in a while. Family friend, and one of the people that affectionately calls me dad, she sat in front of us with eyes full of life, story, and of …

Kid Stuph is growing up…
Not really :-). Just getting a well needed facelift. When I first started the blog, I knew that the format was only going to satisfy me for a short time. I didn't like the fact that the older format only had a fixed header, and just some of the text and layout was a bit …

In 36 Hours, the world may change… or not
Ok, I've resisted. I really have. Every blog, twit, news article is covering what promises to be the biggest story, or the biggest farce since OBL (who I resisted writing on too).

The View From 35000 ft…
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 …
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 …
