Parents Need to Act to Like It
I’ve been working with kids for a long time and I’ve seen some things that make me want to cry. It really hurts to see a kid put in the middle of a battle between parents. The kids are used to fuel the battle or hurt the other parent. Sometimes the kids aren’t even given…

Fuel For Our Bodies
I think it is absolutely ridiculous that we are even considering putting food sources into our gas tanks. There are starving people in the world. We should be growing crops to help feed people. Biofuels just don’t make sense. There are current food shortages in the world. The prices of food staples have been rising.…

iDon’t
Media formats change, that’s a given. I’ve gone though quite a few different formats in my short life and I am sure this process will continue for some time. Video wise; I have moved from the Beta to a VCR to a DVD player. Music wise; I have moved from record albums to cassette tapes…

Running Club
I started up a running club this week. I was hoping to get kids at my school excited about running. I tried it last year but didn’t have much success with it. I wanted it to be something that everyone could come out to. I designed a small loop in which we could run laps…

Spread The Net
I bought a mosquito net today. It only cost $10.00 and hopefully it will save a life. It is a small thing that everyone can do. People die everyday from Malaria caused by mosquito bites. A simple bed net can make a big difference. The nets bought from this website are sent to sub-Sahara Africa.…

Myth Revisited
Last April I wrote a blog entry entitled Global Warming Myth. I just reread it and it is amazing how it still resonates. Last April, we were getting record low temperatures and snow. Up until last week, I thought it was now spring. Except, we seem to be getting a repeat of last year’s weather.…

I’ve been Brushing Wrong!
I went to the dentist last week for a regular cleaning. I talked to the hygienist about a sensitive area in my teeth. She told me that the enamel on my teeth has been eroded over the years. I asked her why and she said it could be because of how I brush my teeth.…

Deprived of Emotional Needs
I think some kids are growing up deprived of their emotional needs. Everyone knows what the physical needs are. Children need food and shelter and parents work hard to make sure they get these things. However, I believe that some parents go overboard providing things for their children. Many adults work hard to give their…

The Season Begins
Yesterday was a beautiful day. It felt like the perfect day to go for a run. So I laced up my new shoes, the ones I bought on sale weeks and weeks ago. The same shoes that have been sitting patiently in the front closet, waiting for this day – the start of my running…

The Mystery of the Internal Clock
I haven’t needed an alarm clock for the past two years. I used to need one. I used to set the loud buzzer on my clock radio. It would go off, I’d press snooze twice and then my watch would go off. I knew that once my watch went off I would have to get…
