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…
Students and Homework
I have been a college professor for 20 years now, and in that time I have had a wide range of students. From the 13-year-old to the 84-year-old (I think that was it). Most of my students fall into the age range of 18-25, and there seems to be one that that defines a lot…
The Grill Completed
So, after a couple weeks I finally have a grill that is complete. The store was able to order me a replacement lid. I did decide to use the grill with the hole in the lid a couple times and it worked really well, even with a hole in the lid. But the new lid…
Friends
Over my life I have had some really good friends. I hope we can all say that at about our lives. Everyone needs to have friends in their lives. I can still remember some of my friends from early childhood, elementary school, junior high, high school, college, and adult life. For the most part my…
It’s Complicated at One Life Church
This is another quick post about something that I think people should take the time to watch or listen to. I happened to be on Facebook the other day and a posting by my former church, One Life Church (formerly Trinity Church), popped up. I don’t see these very often, but I thought I would…
I love listening to music.
I love listening to music in the car, while I make breakfast, when doing yard work, riding my motorcycle. I enjoy concerts. I enjoy musicals. I enjoy a range of music and I have noticed that my tases have changed some over the years. When I was a kid, I listened mostly to what my…
The New Grill (The Saga Begins)
I grill dinner for our family in one way or another a couple times a week most of the time. Sometimes more and sometimes less. The last couple weeks the grill hasn’t been working as well as it had been. Not heating up nearly the same amount, and it didn’t look like one of the…
