Hello from my morning group breakfast meet up. As per usual, I am at BK waiting on the group (not necessarily the waiting,but being here) to assemble where we create or solve local and world problems (you have probably observed these groups of older males sitting around having their morning coffee). This group has evolvedContinue reading “Creating a Home”

The Price of Uncivil Division
Hello on Sunday morning, As I read the coverage like millions of others around the world, the reality that we came millimeters from the killing of a former President and as well as the current likely nominee for their party’s current election, should be both frightening and seen for the outrageous truth it displays. Certainly,Continue reading “The Price of Uncivil Division”
An Encounter with Elegance
Good Saturday morning from the patio, What a beautiful first day of June here in North Central Pennsylvania. I will miss these days. The humidity is low, the breeze is simple and tranquil. I have been fortunate to spend some time this afternoon at the pool of good friends, and the view and couple hoursContinue reading “An Encounter with Elegance”
Is Frailty a Gift?
Hello from the front tables at La Malbec, This a somewhat quiet Saturday evening (with the exception of wannabe Fast and Furious cars or Harleys that need to prove they have customized their exhaust), and I am sitting almost exactly in the same place I first experienced La Malbec. It is only me alone ratherContinue reading “Is Frailty a Gift?”
Holy Water and the Burning Man
Hello on a beautiful, but seemingly summer day here in Bloomsburg, I spoke with some of my Wisconsin contacts today, and they were looking at some different possibilities than I as I am currently sitting out enjoying the cooling weather as the sun sets. We did not have much of a Spring, and it appearsContinue reading “Holy Water and the Burning Man”

Hello from breakfast on a Monday morning, I am sitting in Cracker Barrel waiting on my breakfast. The weekend was consumed by reading, commenting, grading, and is generally the case, there was some moaning, wailing, and gnashing of teeth, with some of that now occurring on the other side of the blank stare. My classContinue reading “Artificial Intelligence”
Amazed by the Changes
Hello from Placerville, CA., It’s the first time I have been back to Hang Town, as it is called, the County Seat of El Dorado County since a somewhat ill-fated trip on December of 2021. My first visit to this little boutique town was in the fall of 2005, when I drove up from SanContinue reading “Amazed by the Changes”
Examining a Changing Academy
Hello from my upstairs office, As I move into my last month of teaching during the academic year, and there is an additional four week summer course to manage, I find myself stepping back to reflect on what being involved in some kind of teaching since 1992 has shown. When I took that first positionContinue reading “Examining a Changing Academy”
Tragic Brilliance
Hello from my morning office hours, When I first arrived at the University of Wisconsin-Stout, I was excited by the opportunity to take what I learned about technology and writing, to use what I had experienced as a technical writer and trainer for both Chrysler Corporation and Gateway Computers, and to apply both theory andContinue reading “Tragic Brilliance”
Unexpected Gift – Unexpected Time
Hello from my office in Bakeless, As I said to a couple of people today, it has been a long week today, or perhaps a long month this week (and it is only Tuesday). I know there was a full-moon, a snow moon, over the weekend, but it seems that its shadow is messing withContinue reading “Unexpected Gift – Unexpected Time”
