It's that time of year when a young college student's fancy turns to nostalgia as they pass from undergraduate academia into the "real world" or go on to even higher education. And it's that time of year when parents attend graduation ceremonies, wade through the pomp for the circumstance of seeing their child walk across the stage and receive their hard-earned diploma. For us, that moment was last week. First a little background and some crow. When Kelsey was in 5th grade, we started homeschooling her. Most of my relatives were concerned because they were sure she would never get into a good college. Strangers shared their concern that she'd never be "socialized." Well, not only did she graduate (double...

What was technology like when you were born? Well, this Thursday is World Telecommunication Day. To celebrate, I thought I'd share some of the telecommunication that was around the year I was born: 1962.

Yesterday was National Blame Someone Else Day. Did you? I mean, did you blame someone else for something? If not, it's not too late! ROFL People do it all the time, don't they? Did anyone ever do it to you? Recently? How about a service provider? I remember having a local cable company in California that was incredibly inept. It took them eight months to properly install our cable. I should have known something was amiss right then. Unfortunately, they were the only game in town.

Tomorrow is the birthday of Lawrence Peter "Yogi" Berra (born May 12, 1925). Yogi was sometimes insightful and always funny. Here are a few of his most famous quotes. Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours. A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore. Baseball is ninety percent mental and the other half is physical. Congratulations. I knew the record would stand until it was broken. Half the lies they tell about me aren't true. I just want to thank everyone who made this day necessary. I never said most of the things I said. If people don't want to come out to the ball park, nobody's gonna stop 'em. Add yours here! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ If you...
