Lots going on. It is so busy right now. Last week I dropped my daughter’s bicycle helmet a foot or so. Didn’t think anything of it. It has fallen before. But today getting ready to ride to school and low and behold the helmet had broken in the rear on the support mechanism. So, no…

Where I plan to ramble on things
Thrive and Shine
Last night my youngest daughter was in her school musical. She had a small part, but she rocked it! The whole family went: my oldest kids, my wife, my parents, and my in-laws. I enjoyed the show. The music teacher at the school and her friend write and compose one every year. My oldest did…
Toilet Paper Preferences
Yes, I am going to write about toilet paper. I don’t think of myself as someone that is a toilet paper diva. It is true that I don’t like the TP at my school where I work. But honestly who really likes that industrial TP? I have used TP made from recycled paper before and…
Oh well – the result I didn’t want yet
So it was “Super Tuesday” the other day, and it regretfully went as I expected, but didn’t hope for. If you live under a rock, live in another country (that’s you bro), or just don’t care I will let you know what happened. Trump won pretty much everything, and Ms. Haley has dropped out. The…
Investing In My Kids’ Future Education
My wife and I decided when we had kids that it was important to us that we start investing (saving) money for our kids so they would have access to some funds when they finally went off to college. We opened 529 accounts with our financial institution and started setting aside money for them as…
A Good Gift
I wanted to write about something good today. I get gifts from family like most of us do. I am not much of a gift person for the most part so a lot of the time gift “go in one ear and out the other”. They get left to the side and I rarely use…
Autographs and Handshakes
Over the years I have been to many Star Trek and Sci-Fi conventions. Most of them have been run by Creation Entertainment and then a few have been the big Comic Con/Fan Fusion/Fan Fest that occurs in Phoenix. I have gone to these things to see those stars from the shows I have grown up…
Long Day(s)
Hello all – I know I promised to post more often and I haven’t posted in a few days. Sorry. Thursday I had a late day at work to evaluate a co-worker on top of a typical busy Thursday. I had a long day today of being on an interview committee at my college. I…
The 2024 Primary in the US
This is a wonderful year where the US gets to vote for president. The truth is I am not looking forward to it at all. I have been working on a blog about voting in general and it isn’t done, and I think I will post it closer to the actual election for president when…
One of My Personal Fears
I don’t fear much in life. I have mentioned before that I have lived a very blessed life, and that is one reason I don’t have much fear. I also know that God is watching over me and is with me all the time. As a result I don’t tend to live in fear of…
