He was born in Carlsbad, New Mexico, in 1912. Today would be his 98th birthday.
I couldn’t begin to write his biography. He led an interesting life, full of a myriad of vocations and locations. He was a thinker, above all. A design engineer by trade, he was forever inventing a better mousetrap.

I rarely use this page to share my personal or political viewpoints on controversial subjects. Just isn’t good business, if you know what I mean. But something came up this week that I feel I should comment on.
As some of my followers know, I am and always have been very involved with our local school [...]
March Madness! We love March. March is…
Small press month
Women’s history month
National Nutrition Month
National Kidney Month
American Red Cross Month.
See anything interesting yet? Maybe you’re not up to a whole month of anything, so consider this: it’s Read an ebook week! Yes, those annoying tree-huggers are back, admonishing you for still reading paper books! I’ll admit [...]
This is one of those things I’ve been meaning to write about, but I’ve been lazy lately. (Read: busy with un-fun things.) “E”, in this case, is not the drug Ecstasy, but “E” as in “Email” and “E-“ anything else electronically communicable.
Two incidents prompt me to speak up. The first was my posting of a [...]
Still going mad. Peeps, you have no idea.
More about last year, and this.
Taking care. I lost 13 pounds in ’09, and resumed the wearing of contact lenses. How did I manage the weight loss? Stopped eating sweets, stopped eating seconds, started walking more. Dancing with iPod-clone. 2010: Will continue to pay attention.
Oh, Boy. Yes, Boy [...]
Aside from the notion that I am, in fact, going mad, everything seems to be fine.
Everyone is quick to say, “2010 will be better!” Even in the bank today, a customer—a stranger to me—called out the same, asking for my concurrence. I do believe that people everywhere are ready to feel better. They are ready [...]
I must say I am absolutely loving this rain. It helps to make one feel like it’s really holiday time, despite the fact that it seems we just packed up Christmas a month ago.
School’s Out
School is done, for now. Political Science was a great class, I learned a ton of stuff that I somehow missed [...]
We don’t subscribe to HBO. Cable is expensive enough without piling on premium channels – we are already on the highest tier, I believe. Anyway, as luck would have it, last weekend was “open” for all the premiums, and lo and behold, what was on but the 25th Anniversary of the Rock N’ Roll Hall [...]

OMG! I was standing at the check out this morning with a basketful of stuff we forgot to get yesterday, and there it was: my favorite yearly issue of PEOPLE Magazine, flaunting the face of this year’s SEXIEST MAN ALIVE (hence it being my favorite issue…) and who else could it possibly be but JOHNNY [...]

Good Friday morning, all!
I am full of interesting thoughts today. Been playing lots of great music lately, spinning classic rock and new tunes that speak to the heart. I have a little MP3 player that’s loaded with lots of my favorites, from Boz Skaggs to Rob Thomas, Richard Marx to Boy George. Lyrics are sparking [...]
