State of Disunion

 I have waited a few days so that I have had time to really think about what was said when President Bush addressed a joint session of Congress for the 2007 State of the Union.

The soundtrack of my blog is by …

 This topic is so odd as I was just completing – or making more complete – my profile on a dating site yesterday. One of the topics was what’s on your playlist?

Goals

Reviewing 2006

 I admit I am a bit behind. In 2006, I had reviewed the previous year and managed to set new aspirations (similar to goals but loftier in my mind) by January 2. This year it is 19 days later and I am just reviewing. Aspirations for 2006 Submit art and get published. To this end,… Continue reading Reviewing 2006

Computer Hunting

 I am, once again, in the market for a new computer. My initial thought was I was going to get a laptop but since the desktop I use for work at home and my kids use for school and such has no fan anymore, it is a desktop I am getting. A little background –… Continue reading Computer Hunting

What is it about college-aged kids?

 What is it about college-aged kids? I realize that they are similar to what we use to call pre-teens. They are adults. Most are on their own in some small way, but they are still children.

Day Late, Dollar Short…LOL

 Happy New Year! I know, as the title says, a day late and a dollar short. I had to get my thoughts about history down. I had been thinking them in my mind for several days but was going through a “no computer” time so didn’t get them down. Actually picked up a journal and… Continue reading Day Late, Dollar Short…LOL
