It Takes a Village (and not the way Hillary meant)
Recently on the NosillaCast Mac Podcast Host Allison Sheridan was talking about whether the internet is causing us to lose empathy with people because we do not meet them in real life to be able to judge their reactions to what is being said. Allison said her interactions were expanded because she had met people…
Keep readingA Clean Start to a New Year
Scrubbing of the hallways and commons is the last big thing to do before school starts. That is done so now I can take off a few days for vacation. Nothing special just stay at home and maybe get a few things done, like taking Emily’s Senior pictures. That makes me feel a little old,…
Keep readingOne Last Look (A Tribute to my Mom)
The room is ready for it’s next occupant. The walls have been patched and the carpet cleaned. But if you close your eyes you can detect something just beyond the realm of senses. Not a ghost but a memory. A series of memories that go beyond these walls and span a life time. Because people…
Keep readingWinning is everything………Right?
People who know me know that I don’t care much for sports. Why? It doesn’t interest me. I won’t talk to you about the release of Gnome 2.22 or that KDE 4 is just around the corner so please don’t talk to me about last nights score (and if you don’t understand what I just…
Keep readingMy Favorite Photos
I thought I would share a couple of my favorite photos and the stories behind them. Actually it’s the same story just continued from one to the other. Some of you may know the background but for the others I’ll tell the story. I started working at school in July of 2004. One of the…

Keep readingYou can’t drive by looking in the rear view mirror
I”m in a reflective mood today. It’s friend’s birthday. She would’ve been 44 today and her daughter and I share the same birthday next month. So I spent some time looking back and thinking about the things that were said, the ones that should’ve been said and the stuff that can’t be taken back. It’s…
