Over the weekend I was updating the hardware on one of my computers. While I had the case open, and my hands busily putting in many different parts, my daughter told me that the family computer wasn’t working. Grumble Grumble. I seeing it I thought that the video card was a goner. It looked like […]

Quite a few years ago my wife gave a speech about being hard of hearing. I found her hand written speech today. I wasn’t looking for it, but I was cleaning out a drawer looking for an old “Windows” disk. For those who know me and my safe places, it is amazing that I found

I’m never quite sure why, since in all my years working, my reviews have never dropped below a good review. I’ve even had some outstanding reviews. Now in my old age, or maybe after all
One of the things I remember from my childhood, is reading the comic strips of Charles M. Shultz. The Peanuts strip. I read them in the paper, I read them in book form. At one point I even had a Snoopy dressed in a space suit. To this day I will occasionally pick up and

No, I’m not going to write about “Fiddler on the Roof” or small things used to start fires. I’m talking about the past, present and future dating world. Now a very long time ago, or in other countries even today, you had arranged marriages. At some point in time, the girl’s family would get in
