In Memory of Our Losses 5 Years Ago, September 11, 2001
So many of us here have voiced our opinions, shared our hopes and dreams. We've argued and we've insulted. Today, let's all set aside our differences and grasp each others hands and hearts to share the memory of a day when we all lost so much, and the world changed forever. May God, however we...

What do we really want?
I've been thinking a bit lately about want I really want from the remainder of my life. Wealth? Health? Friends? Fame? What? It's a tricky question for me, and I'm having trouble answering it. Statistically I'm past the half way point of my life span. My wife and I have a pleasant home and a...

Who do you think you are?
I work for a living. I have to get down on factory floors and crawl under huge machines to find the answers to problems most others would rather pretend did not exist. I get filthy dirty almost every day and I sweat like some kind of farm animal for hours at a time, I help to keep the machinery of...

An International Day of Peace and Prayer
I just got the word that August 25th 2006 has been declared an international day of prayer and peace. The call is for a world wide general strike and a day to fast, pray and reflect upon the madness that is gripping our planet. Wouldn't the world leaders be surprised if we all just said NO to their...

The value of money
Money... Aaaah the sweet smell of money. Let's talk about money, I mean really talk about money for a moment. Specifically let's talk about US money. A couple of quick facts: The money of the United States is not backed by gold reserves. It hasn't been for many years. There is no silver used in the...

Pat Robertson's leadership psychosis lives on
So let me get this straight? Pat Robertson went on a prayer retreat back in January, and while doing what ever he was doing, God told him, (if he heard God right), that there would be serious weather problems on the west coast of the United States, and a possible tsunami. Did I read that right? This...

Personal privacy is unpatriotic!
It has recently come out that the records of your's and my telephone calls over the last few years have been turned over to the National Security Agency, and they in turn have been using sophisticated software programs to map out the interconnectedness of those calls. All supposedly in the name of...

A day at the zoo.
This weekend finds me at Toronto. One of my new favorite cities, and yesterday I visited the Toronto zoo. My colleague and I had not had any real plans for the day originally. Our customer here is a fine Jewish man who observes his faith and does not work on Saturdays, and if he doesn't work, his...

On the road to Pennsylvania.
I left the house early this morning to catch a flight out to Pittsburgh, PA. My final destination is the small town of Oakmont, about twenty miles up Highway 28 North, then across the Hulton Bridge over the Allegheny River. It's my first visit to this customer and it doesn't appear like it will be...

I took the day off today because. . .
I took the day off today because I wanted to stay home and putter around the house. I took the day off today because I felt like I needed a day that belonged to me, and me alone. It's a bit after 12:30PM now and the world has not come to an end, the company I work for has not gone out of business,...
