I was asleep not quite three hours and then up for a taxi back to the airport.

The Difference Between Being Important and Thinking You Are
Hello from a bit of an unpredicted appointment, Good Monday morning from Geisinger-Danville. What began as a follow up appointment has turned into much more.

I have learned a greatContinue reading “The Difference Between Being Important and Thinking You Are”
Procrastination: A Mental or Emotional Block?
Hello from my office in the house, I am going to head to the university shortly, mask in hand, and lock myself way in my office. There are multiple reasons for that, but suffice it to say my technology at home and I are fighting. Technology is winning, which is usually the case.

Don’t Stop Believin’
Hello from the study at home, I am always amazed by the response of people, the way people interact, communicate, or even reflect on their own selves (and this is about me as much as anyone else).

Imagining 50 Years

Verstehen, Comprender, Understand
Hello from the acre, I want to get a few lines written before I fall over from both mental and physical exhaustion. I should note that those two things probably affect my ability to manage the word that makes up the title of this post – all the same word; just different languages . .Continue reading “Verstehen, Comprender, Understand”
