Today I went to lunch with my dear friend Kathy and she asked me how the e-Harmony thing was going. The discussion prompted the following note: Remember me talking about there being hundreds of closed matches. Tonight I checked the numbers and it turns out that since beginning this little e-Harmony journey three years ago [...]

Blackout!

Thank God for my handy blue-light LED flashlight. It was really really dark when all the lights went out after a lightning strike somewhere in the area. We were in the dark for over an hour. It was getting toasty in the apartment but the time the power came back on. ick. Can’t imagine what [...]

21st Century Christianity Hidden Under 19th Century Robes

pencil-version-me

This has been a week of change for me. I finished my first course at Full Sail and started my first course as an Assistant Course Director (ACD) for someone else’s course. I also decided to update my profile info in e-Harmony and restart the long dormant “find me a match” process. I also decided [...]

Needing a Miracle at St. Anna

Miracle at St. Anna. Don’t know about the novel it was based on, but I’m a sucker for historical fiction.

Much to my co-workers’ chagrin, my blog has shown up on Full Sail’s website for a second time. Yay, me! Of course my blog isn’t mentioned until the final paragraph. As with the last time, it’s not available to non-Full Sail students or staff… that is, not available except here: Link Out: Full Sail Bloggers [...]

e-H Time

second-life-me

It’s time. Some might say that it’s long past time. I turned in the final grades for my first class here at Full Sail. I wrote a script for and then did an audio podcast/interview for another course director. Then checked into Second Life to monitor students coming in looking for assistance with the new [...]

If You Don’t Vote You’re a Moron & Don’t Listen to the Fearmongers

First, a few words from one concerned citizen about how the media is handling the upcoming election: A few weeks ago my oldest sister forwarded a Republican slanted presidential candidate comparison chart to the whole family. I glanced at it and immediately recognized the fearmongering and misrepresentation of the facts geared toward fear. My brother [...]
