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…

Where I plan to ramble on things
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…
What is Tolerance?
I want to spend some time today talking about the word tolerance. Over the years this word has changed meaning (to many people) in my opinion. According to the dictionary the word means: (Merriam-Webster) capacity to endure pain or hardship 2a: sympathy or indulgence for beliefs or practices differing from or conflicting with one’s own…
No Worries
What does it mean to not worry? I am, by nature, not a worrier. It drives my wife crazy sometimes. I have lived a very blessed life and I am sure that has played a very big role in my lack of worrying. I haven’t had anything truly awful ever happen to me. I haven’t…
Fall break and time away (sort of)
I spent the weekend up at our cabin in the White Mountains. I will write about it more sometime in the future. Right now I am just writing a little something about the weekend. My girls are on modified year-round school schedule now, and that means they get 2 weeks for fall break (actually 2.5…
