I was reading the new Smithsonian magazine this weekend.  I get a lot of magazines free because of my work with computers.  The Smithsonian is one of my all time favorite reads.  I see it as one of the last of the thinking persons magazines.  This month they decided to celebrate the life and legacy of one Frank Lloyd Wright.   I was introduced to Frank Lloyd Wright by my high school graphic design teacher.  I have attributed lots...

It really pains me to admit this.  I seem to have fallen into that social group that has to check their social networking websites daily.  A very interesting phenomenon has caught my attention.  People whome you know or knew in the past,  initially accept your “friend” requests and then once they get wind of anything about you they no longer like they “DE-friend” you.  This is such a funny occurrence that it...

I’ll keep this short tonight.  I just can’t believe what the government is doing to us.  Its...

       Couple of friends and I were hanging out, and eating lunch at the office today and we were watching an animal show on TV.  The show was some rescue show where they save mistreated animals and try to rehabilitate them.  I took a moment to share my views regarding horses.  I wasn’t really surprised at the reactions I got from them.             You see, I don’t believe horses should be ridden by people at...
