Where the perfect heads go to think.

Yesterday was the annual “Holiday” party for the Minis and Friends organisation.  Well in all actuality it really can’t be an annual event until next year.  This was the first time it was called a “Hoedown” [Read more →]

Today was the annual trek to purchase Christmas gifts.  My wife takes a day off from her job teaching and I take a day off, or as was the case today, I just didn’t type, or answer emails, and we just shop our little hearts out.  Each store we go to winds up taking at least twice as long as we think it will.

Children are part of life. If you are married they could be the reason to stay married, or the reason you don’t stay married. They are the picture of courage, and you should be required to have just a little bit of training just to have them. Children are creatures that start out little, wind up big, and will always be your children. Their title in life will always be “son” or “daughter” to the parents, and friends of parents. They are the life blood and the death knell. And they are loved in my house. [Read more →]

Difficult times, and the Holiday season make a very stressful time. I remember other times when we have had times like these and we have always come through them. This time I am sure will be no different, however getting through the holiday season is rough. [Read more →]

I can now see some advantages to allowing kids to play video games.  The speed with which one must recognise a target, and find the button to shoot the target, then shoot the target and hit the target, is amazing.  All on an XBox 360.  [Read more →]

I was listening to a CD yesterday and while it was supposed to be instructional, it seems that he was just beating me up.  He was talking about what makes people not achieve their goals.  [Read more →]
