Once again, it’s Blog Day, where bloggers are supposed to give recommendations to their favorite blogs of the year. Last year I only posted two; so sue me. So, here we go, and, getting this out of the way, I’m not going to post links to blogs my friends write. Cookin’ In The ‘Cuse is [...]

The latest newsletter is titled Expectation and Criticism. I was thinking about it because every day we expect things to happen in specific ways, and when they don’t we inadvertently criticize the situation in some way. Some people pout, cuss, yell, cry, or, if it was good, laugh or smile. The thing is, when those [...]
Well, that’s quite a title, isn’t it? However, it’s not really my title, but the title a friend of mine gave to something I posted at an online networking site that he felt was pertinent enough to put on his site. And, since I don’t belong to that particular blog service, and don’t want to [...]
This is an update on the story of the six black teens who are up on attempted murder charges, and how the protests might be starting to change things just a little bit. It’s just a story that has to be shared and spread, and this is my little way of helping to move it [...]
I hate spam, as so many other people do. What I don’t mind as much are some of the more creative advertisements that show up. Unfortunately, most of it is all tied into the same thing, so I rarely spend any time separating one from the other. Having said that, though, I do get to [...]

Ten years ago, I was diagnosed as being a Type II diabetic. I’ve had some ups and downs with trying to control my glucose over that time, starting out only on diet, and now working on it with exercise and medication. I’m still struggling, and at times I have to admit that I’ve felt like [...]
I got this from another blog, The Health Care Blog, but it’s worth sharing here also. I’m a major fan of Hillary Clinton; just wanted to get that out of the way. I believe she was on the right track back in ’93 when she did her investigation, then research into solving the health care [...]
On Thursday, I wrote up and sent out my 100th Newsletter, which I entitled Number 100; seemed to make sense to me. I started the newsletter in February 2003, with the intention of writing something every two weeks. And, with only a couple of blips, I’ve done just that. You don’t think about it much, [...]
Sometimes, the problem with learning something new in history is that someone else wants to accuse you of revisionist history. Well, sometimes that’s just too bad, because, for most things, the truth will win out, and long held notions of what is are dashed and revealed for what they are, which means they’re untrue. This [...]
