7 dead in shooting rampage at postal center - January 31st, 2006
At the first report of this, I must admit I was not shocked or surprised. These types of things certainly seem to be happening with more frequency.
However, the fact that this rampage was from a female sets it apart. I can not recall an incident like this being from a female in the past. Is [...]
Kwan made the Olympic Team ? - January 25th, 2006
I guess this seems out of character for me, but Figure Skating is something I am pretty involved in. My oldest daughter Danielle is a Figure Skater, and at the Novice level she too has Olympic dreams. It is a tough sport to work your way to the top.
I am sure I am in [...]
NFL – Race an issue - January 24th, 2006
I really do not understand this. Why do people have to be racially motivated to stir up trouble. In an article on ESPN by Michael Smith, he says…

I personally can not see how Aikman can miss, but, I am a little biased, having been a Dallas Cowboys fan [...]
Hook ‘em Horns - January 5th, 2006
Texas 41 – USC 38
How sweet it is !! First college game I have watched in a long time. And well worth the time too. My wife made the comment that it looked like Texas was totally dependent on the play of Vince Young and that made her nervous. Well, true as it was, he [...]
New Blogs and stuff… - January 4th, 2006
It seems I always have some little pet project I am playing with on the computer. I have been programming for over 20 years now and still find it fun and challenging. My latest project is BlogSnare. Just a little button map for Blogs across the net. Not much happening so far, but it was [...]

Finally back to work today. I have been off since last Wednseday, and I was ready to come back to work. Vacation and Holidays always sound great, but, after a few days I am always ready to get back to my regular schedule. I know, I must be sick or something. I really enjoy [...]
