I really enjoy watching TV, and I always have. I am sure I have watched way too much TV over the years, but I don’t care. I gain enjoyment from watching TV. Here are 11 of my favorite TV shows as of right now. What a list. There are 2 international shows, 2 that only…
Building Cameras
As I have mentioned before I worked for my dad’s business, K. B. Canham Cameras, Inc., for 20 years as my primary job. It was never a full-time job, but it was my job. During that time I did a lot of different things for the company. Some of the stuff I did was mundane…
Podcasts?
I realize that in today’s world of taking in information a lot of people are doing it through podcasts. I wonder why that is. I have tried podcasts, some I go back to and others have fizzled out for me. I love audiobooks so I thought that podcasts might be something that I would like,…
He is Risen!
I wasn’t sure if I was going to write an Easter related post or not, but I decided that I would. To be honest, not sure how deep this will go this year, but maybe next year (if I am still writing next year) I will have more to say. I think this may turn…
Relationships with Students
What a title coming from a teacher. I strive to get to know my students. Over my 20 years of teaching there have been good relationships, poor relationships, but mostly no real relationships. I really like getting to know the people in my classes. I like hearing about their lives outside of class. I like…
Moral the Traveling Wombat
When my wife and I went on our honeymoon we went to Australia. It was a blast. While there we fell in love with wombats, and we bought a small stuffed wombat while we were there. That wombat (his name is Moral) became our traveling buddy, and we would take pictures of it in all…
Deceleration – I hate this word!
I have written before about how I teach physics, and how I love it. I have done this for 20 years (not counting what I did while still in college), and I love it. But there are things I hate about physics and the world. I am talking about using words that add to the…
A Song Sung from the Heart
I wanted to post this here for those of you who might want to watch it and enjoy it, but also so I will always have it linked somewhere. I hope it stays available for a long time. (sorry only a Facebook link) Link to Song on Facebook This is a Brave Saint Saturn song…
Being Authentic on the Internet
The other day I was talking with some people about what people put out there on the internet. Many of us felt that most people are far from authentic when they write about themselves on the internet. I agree. It seems to me that most people only want to show themselves in the best light…
The Saga of the VW Bug Partial Restoration
This is something that happened a bit ago, and I started writing about it then, but finished it up and wanted to post about it. Back in May of 2020 I decided to have my car, the 1958 VW ragtop, professionally worked on at Doug’s Bugs and Bunnies in Mesa, AZ. I have dealt with…
