We as humans are capable of amazing things. We have power. The power to heal. The power to change our environment. The power to create. I, who claims to “know” nothing, KNOW THIS. My older sister Deb died. Her heart stopped. She returned to us, but it was a difficult road for a bit. Our […]
If you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all! I would love to say my mother taught me that, but the truth of the matter is I am not sure she and that idea ever actually sat in the same room together. Yet somewhere along the way I actually learned this concept. I […]
One of the beauties of the internet is it allows us to really connect with people from all over the world. One of the curses of the internet is it allows us to really connect with people from all over the world. I said this a little while back to a new friend I met […]
I love apples. I am eating one right now. I am allergic to apples. Did I mention I am eating one right now? This seems to be a common theme in my life. I am the eternal “took the one less traveled by” man. Not sure if this is good or bad, but it is […]

When I started high school, being fond of the outdoors I joined what was called The Ecology Club. We basically did all sorts of outdoor activities depending on the time of the year. Among other things, I quickly gained a passion for canoeing, especially whitewater canoeing. The academic advisor of the club used to run 10 – […]
I put this disclaimer on one of my more involved and thought filled posts (The Road to Entropy): Knowledge is limiting. Knowledge is static. Understanding is limitless. Understanding is fluid. I lay no claim to knowledge. I do lay claim to understanding. The primary weakness of the following is that it is written with words. Words lie in […]
I have always dabbled a bit in meditation, but back in the days when I was the webmaster for a “cult”. I learned a lot more about the art. Meditation is a wonderful way to get centered, to reconnect with your “true self” as well as the universe at large. I have often heard people […]
