Former President, Gerald Ford passed away earlier this week. Today is a private funeral for the family, then there will be “public” funerals later on.
What I find incredible is that at 3:30 eastern today, news stations interrupted regular programming to show the “private” funeral – at least the arrival of the family, etc.
Why can’t the [...]
When I was growing up, I used to watch the cartoon “Dungeons Dragons”. I had never heard of the game, but I remember really liking the cartoon. After it went off the air in 1985, I actually forgot about that cartoon.
In the 1990′s I was introduced to the game by some friends. [...]
Why is it that everytime I make plans to meet up with my old friends, something comes up?
Tomorrow night, some friends of mine are having a holiday party to which I was invited. I had replied that I would go – I figured it would be a good study break. That was last week.

Well, so much for having a white Christmas this year. Although, there was a bit of frost this morning, there’s no snow – not yet anyway. It never feels like Christmas to me without snow. The weather forecasters are saying that we are supposed to get some snow tonight/tomorrow morning. Still, it [...]

Now they have completely electronic billboards. I saw [...]
Well, I did it – I finally got high-speed internet at home. I had been using dial-up since I’m not home that often. However, there are more and more things that I want to do on the internet that are rather annoying at the slow speeds of dial-up. It finally got to the [...]
Today was the last day of the new laptop class that I have been teaching. The next class will start in January sometime. Boy am I glad about this break! I am so looking forward to having a little bit of time off from work. I’ll be busy studying for school, but [...]
With my job I travel a lot, so I normally stay in a hotel in the city that I need to travel to. For most of 2006 I have been in Cincinnati Ohio and have stayed at the Homestead Studio Suites hotel in Blue Ash. This is a hotel that I will NEVER stay [...]

I have no idea why that dawned on me today [...]
