Back in the '80s, one of the predecessor companies of Unisys (Burroughs), bought a company called SDC (System Development Corporation) where George Mueller was the CEO, merging that firm into Burroughs, with Mr. Mueller becoming a Senior VP of Burroughs. He was at the head of NASA's endeavor to put a man on the moon in the '60s. He recently passed away. Passing of George Mueller (open in new … [Read more...]
Need better ideas for outdoor Lailah activity
October 21, 2015 By
HEY! Lailah fans: I'm getting "the kid" tomorrow. The (been there, done that) plan is the MN Zoo. Bit do any of you out there have a better outdoor activity (we've done the apple orchard already)? Need some great ideas, please! Otherwise, we'll just go to the park one last time (before the "W" word arrives in the next few weeks), playing on the slides and swings together, playing "hoops" on … [Read more...]
Renewing long lost friendships (again)
October 20, 2015 By
Took an opportunity to renew a long lost friendship today by meeting a friend of mine (LE) who I'd not seen in ~nine yrs, and had a really great lunch with them. I am so glad to have reconnected with them. [I cannot remember right now that saying about long lost friendships (with starting right back where you left off), but I think some of you may know it.] P.s., We saw "Bridge of … [Read more...]
Football game mistake and internet bullying
October 19, 2015 By
Football game mistake, and internet bullying (open in new window) If you know me, you know that I really don't pay attention to football. On the other hand, I do know what is being referenced in this blog post about the UM vs. MSU game. I think it's just unimaginable that there are people who behave the way the blogger is writing about...please take a minute to read her post. It's a game - one … [Read more...]
Brownies, spreading Peanut Butter on top
October 19, 2015 By
Eating just baked home made chocolate brownies and spreading on peanut butter is so messy, but in the end, it's yummy (if you have some milk to go along with it). "Just sayin" Now, where did I put my napkin?? … [Read more...]
Excitement over new book: “Split Second”
October 18, 2015 By
You know you must be reading a good book when, at the end of Chapter three, you almost shout out "Omg," (actually I didn't shout, and it wasn't omg, but it was quite a loud "Wow!, Wow!"). Cannot remember why I chose this book as one to download as a Kindle sample (several weeks ago), but the third chapter has just succeeded in reeling me in. "Split second", Author is Douglas E. Richards. [upon … [Read more...]
Twin Cities Model Railroad Museum Closing?
October 17, 2015 By
TC MRR Museum closing article (open in new window) This is really unfortunate - I've been to this museum numerous times over the years, and actually took Lailah there last Christmas. I'm hoping they can find a way to stay there or find another place - but it would be a lot of work to move. You would think there would be some railroad/corporation (like BNSF, or Central Pacific) that could make a … [Read more...]
Someone’s stupid thoughts/opinion on Climate Change
October 10, 2015 By
Just read this FB comment by some person regarding climate change: "How can you be so sure about climate change? This earth has existed for a very long time, it has been established that there have been many weather patterns, all we are experiencing is just another variation, we've had ice ages for example and may again, it's nothing to do with humans and all to do with the Earth and its life … [Read more...]

Stupid Gun Control Cartoon (Bob Babas)
October 6, 2015 By
Stupid Gun Control Cartoon (opens in a new window) Bob Babas I think you know I have the utmost regard and respect for you. In my opinion, this strip represents an apples to oranges comparison. You and many others are missing the point when this example is used: not many mass murderers bring a bat or a rope or a knife to commit mass murder - because the person that wants to kill or hurt … [Read more...]
