You know, for the most part, I have a pretty good life... BUT it just SUCKS BIG TIME when I attend a little girl's soccer practice / game and I have this pretty nice camera, and a pretty good "long/zoom" lens, allowing me to take some really awesome pictures, and upon coming home, and downloading them to the PC, you find you've taken 300+ pictures of her in a bit less than an hour, and it is so … [Read more...]

Nightmares and Haircuts
September 19, 2015 By
Stories not to read before going to bed: hair stylist accidentally cuts a good portion of a little girl's hair off ("butchers it"), the day before "family photo session". Now, I'm afraid of going to sleep, thinking my hair stylist will be coming to get me in the middle of the night - I know I'm in need of a hair cut, but I don't want to wake up in the morning, bald! Just saying. Be careful out … [Read more...]
Signing your life away – Your signature
September 18, 2015 By
So. I'm at Cub Foods (the local grocery store), and the person (gender being withheld to protect the innocent) ahead of me is paying their bill via credit/debit card, and it's time for them to sign their life away on the pin pad device/screen thingamabob. I see them sign their full name, with beginning capital letters, and their middle initial, and then crossing their T's and dotting every last … [Read more...]
Loving the rain
September 17, 2015 By
Sitting here reading my textbooks, was listening to a video lecture, it rained on and off during the night, woke up to rain, and it's still raining, alternating between sprinkling and out and out really hard showers (with lots of wind to boot). There are times when I can open my windows such that the rain doesn't come in - love listening to the sounds (of the rain). Sitting in my kitchen, with … [Read more...]
Miscellaneous thoughts
September 12, 2015 By
Such a nice day out there today, my favorite season is fall - the temp is "just right". Too bad it only lasts 4-6 weeks here in MN. (Lol) I've got a few (good) stories to write about but I'm not doing it today. But, I'll preview them for you: First one is about my (accidentally) providing some excitement and joy to a person in my life by introducing them to something a few months ago. Maybe more … [Read more...]
Excitement over school!
September 8, 2015 By
Excited. Blah, blah, blah. Last course ("I.T. Infrastructure") at Saint Thomas starts this Friday evening - never had a Friday evening course before (it's probably going to ruin my very exciting social life - ha ha). 14 weeks/class sessions, final exam, no mid term exam, not sure if there is a team project yet, but apparently weekly individual and team assignments. Two text books and then a PDF … [Read more...]
FB article: “Christians” & their lack of compassion for the LGBT community
September 7, 2015 By
Christians and non-compassion (opens in a new window) This is a very well written essay - please read and share. I am asking my FB friends/family who are Christians to please take time to read this. Thank you. … [Read more...]
Re-watching West Wing!
September 7, 2015 By
I've recently been watching reruns of the last few episodes of season 6 and the beginning of the final season (7) of West Wing and really wish we had presidential candidates such as the ones played by Jimmy Smits, Alan Alda, and/or Leo McGarry (John Spencer), Jed Barlett (Martin Sheen), instead of the dozen or more republican numbnuts that have thrown their hat in the ring so far. I really loved … [Read more...]
