First posted October 10, 2009 The 14th Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize laureates. While returning from my trip to the mainland yesterday, I kept hearing about Obama being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. At first I thought it was just some kind of hoax, but had to accept that it was […]
First posted August 14, 2009 The title is what it is. More thoughts. Never measure your self-worth from the opinion of others. Smiles are free. I feel like a fish. We all need to be in school with each other. A hero is one who can hang on one minute longer. I […]
First posted August 12, 2009 It’s actually not an asylum. That just was a catchy title. These thoughts were written by mental health clients in my crisis stabilization unit. One of my techs found a small box with cards of thoughts for the day. I don’t know how many years these have been around here. This […]

First posted June 19, 2009 April 15, 2009, the Lubbock TEA Party was held. It took two months for me to discover Dr. Donald May, who delivered an outstanding speech on the courthouse steps in Lubbock. His masterful delivery dominated the event.

We are quickly sliding from a free market society into Marxism. The Russians know the dangers in following this path. The article stated, […]
First posted March 21, 2009 Yes, I like to play with those kind of yo yos too, but I’m not talking about that little round wooden toy on a string. I’m talking about fabric yo yos. Yo Yos are fabric circles gathered to form little rosettes. I first worked with yo yos as a kid […]
First posted May 1, 2009 Obama still wants to give illegal immigrants a “pathway” to become legal. I’m sorry, but that pathway should have started at the border. Instead, they enter illegally and continue to break the law on a daily basis. I know that Obama wanted the Hispanic vote and a good way to […]
First posted March 19, 2009 I traveled for a long time last night and managed to cover a lot of territory. Some of it was exciting, some inspiring, some sentimental and some just made me smile. A lot. I started with the incredible sounds of Il Divo andAmaging Grace. I just recently discovered this group when a friend sent […]
First Posted March 18, 2009 I listened to an NPR program on the way home from work last Saturday night that taught me about an incredible place in New York City. It’s called the rubber room. A site about The Big Apple gives us the definition so we’ll know why the “reassignment centers” for NYC teachers are […]
