• How It Should Be

    College Decisions?

    Capitalism loves a cheap uneducated workforce and will do everything in their power to keep education expensive.

    In much of Europe college is inexpensive and accessible. The same can be said for trades. One need not be a computer programmer as one can be a book binder of a chef.

    Two of our kids live in Germany,, and of course I miss them. I also tell them to stay innEurope where opportunities are more plentiful.

  • The Man was a Woman

    Describe a man who has positively impacted your life.

    There was a man who taught some throwaway class. He was a wrestling coach and couldn’t teach at all.

    we didn’t learn any thing from him.

    But, there was a woman who sat next to me in that that class. She opened up entire new worlds to me. She could draw anything and I found this the best skill set one could have. She also was a music nut and opened up the world of music to me. She taught me it was okay to be different. I looked forward to that class every single day.

    My mother taught me more than any father or father figures in my life. She taught me to competently fend for myself. I taught her how to drive a stick shift.





  • So Simple

    What was the last thing you did for play or fun?

    As soon as I walked into our daughter’s house today, our, three year old grandson says.

    “Opa let’s go on an adventure.”

    We kept it simple as he was a little hyped up for Christmas. Still, we went down stairs and threw balls around.

    “Belly Bonk”

    “Head Bonk”

    Then we put together Legos and then rode tricycles through red, green and blue traffic cones.

    It’s pretty simple.
