Olbermann’s Rant
Ok, so for my first real “political” blog (’cause the other one I’ve posted is just excitement about voting) it’s important to know something. My ideas about our government and how it is run swing decidedly to the left. I’m not going to put stuff up here in any way to persuade anyone else that I’m right and…

Brave Sir Cameron!
I don’t know what it is about car washes. We never teased him about them, we never tortured him with them, we never made him stand under the shower head. So I don’t know why he has a dramatic fear of the car wash. And never-the-less, he does. For me, the car wash is generally…

Spirit Quest 2008
A couple of weeks ago, I spent the weekend with over 200 Jr. High kids. Am I crazy? Maybe… It was a weekend that will go down as one of the best in memory. The theme was based on “Life is a Highway” (originally written by Tom Cochrane & covered recently by Rascall Flatts) with…

Spirituality vs. Religion
One of the classes I’m taking this session is called “Spirituality and Mental Health.” It’s an on-line class, so everything is done through response to online questions in a community forum. The first question from this class was really interesting, and I thought I’d post the question and my thoughts here. So here we go.…

School News
I’ve been working hard at this school stuff. This is hard! It’s been well worth it, though. I’ve already posted my admission to CST. While I wait for the start in September, I’ve been continuing work on my Bachelor’s degree. I just got my grades from last session and found out that I got two…

Lessons Learned (be careful reading this one)
Last week before 8am (so before it was really legitimate to be aware or in any way relate to the world) there was a car accident right in front of our house. Ok, that might be a slight exaggeration. It was really about half-way between our neighbor’s house and ours. So it was a good…

“My Owie’s Not All Gone…”
That’s right. He’s got an “owie.” This is not the worst, but he sure didn’t like it. It worked out like this. You know how 3-year-olds love to push boundaries? They love to do stuff that you tell ’em not to do as soon as you turn away. Bill Cosby talked about this beautifully in…

A Brilliant Waste of Time!
Ok. So first, be warned that the information I’m about to share is dangerous. If you’re anywhere near the geek that I am or were raised anywhere near the 80s, this could end any semblance of time management. Know it. Embrace it. Love it. Now that we’re through that, check out this site: http://ldd.lego.com. Welcome…

Politics!
I’m so excited. I just can’t hide it! Voters are turning out in record numbers all across the country. And now that it’s the middle of February, long past Super-Duper-Ali-uper-Tuesday, record numbers of voters are still turning out for their own primaries!! We as faithful citizens of this great nation are making ourselves heard. I’m…
