I was just introduced to the most brain stimulating debate I have had in while and I thought I would share it with you.  It is not a new debate, certainly not when you’re dealing with millennia.  Late last night I sat at the old computer gathering info about the last ten years for my end-of-year blog post and I came to the frustrating realization that there is actually a great deal of debate about this subject.  It seems...

    About a month ago my wife and I went to visit some of her relatives in the great state of Kentucky.   If your interested here are some pictures I snapped.   What I initially somewhat dreaded, turned out to be one of the nicest family gatherings I have been to in a long while.   I got to thinking about how simple it was and how much I really enjoyed it.

..a poem as lovely as a tree  (Joyce Kilmer) I don’t ever remember as a child being filled with too much awe at the change of seasons.  It seems that as I get older the things I glossed over in my youth make more sense to me and mean more too me now.  This morning on my way into work, my youngest son and I were marveling at the beauty of the blooming trees now that spring seems to be starting.  Caelan has an elephantine memory...
