Do you see what I see?
No… it is not time to start singing Christmas carols yet… Have you ever really thought about what you see as color? Is it possible that we all don’t see colors the same, but we’ve never seen it any other way… so we see that as normal? To both you and me… a tree that has hot pink leaves and a blue trunk would look rather silly. But how do we know the color that... [read more]

Flight Lesson 16 - A Long Cross Country
I showed up to Lunken today with my flight plan prepared only to find out that there were slight changes in plans…. well, major changes in plans…. complete changes in plans. Not only were we changing locations of our cross country, but we were going to be flying a four-seater Piper Cherokee with a passenger in back. I was very excited to fly the slightly bigger plane. The Cherokee felt much heavier than the Skippers,... [read more]

What if the Butterfly turned around?…
We all know about the ‘Butterfly Effect’… one small event creates the future… a butterfly flaps its wings over the plains of Kansas causing Tsunamis on the other side of the world? Makes sense, no? I’m wondering how the world would be different today if the butterfly had turned around and headed towards Ohio instead of crossing Kansas. I know people always say… well you shouldn’t live in the ‘What Ifs’, you should live in... [read more]

My Political Compass
After taking a grueling quiz with questions asking some (eh) relevant questions… I found out the same answers I’ve been told by most political standpoint quizzes… let me show. This is a two-dimensional representation of political views (economical and social) This is a representation of well known political leader past and present and where they stand on the two-dimensional plot Here is where I stand… there were no surprises. I’m thinking being like Gandhi is... [read more]

Flight Lesson 15 - a very gorgeous day
Yesterday was a gorgeous day. I had such a fun time flying! If you normally follow my flight lessons, you have probably noticed an absence in blogs. Yesterday I went up for the first time in about two weeks. Between iffy weather last week and being sick, I just never got the chance to fly. There was a little bit of wind whipping around on the ground so I expected to be tossed around a... [read more]

Email Etiquette… It’s the law (well not really)
Some people need to just plain learn how to use email. Now if anywhere in this post I offend you by criticizing your current email usage… well, I can’t say I’ll be sorry. At this day in age though, certain things just need to be known about writing emails. We all know the little things like make your font readable and colors viewable… we all know that WRITING IN CAPS IS THE SAME THING AS... [read more]

Time for something new… let’s break the routine!
While thinking about what I should write about today in my blog… I was coming up with blanks. I felt like writing, but I it seemed as though someone had stolen all my idea bubbles. Today was just an average Monday, nothing too exciting, just my normal routine… That got me to thinking (scary ain’t it?). So many people have their routines… their morning routines of getting up, shower, brushing, dressing, eating… and its all... [read more]

A reminder to myself for 2050
I, unlike most kids my age already have an established 401K plan. Kroger offers a very nice match for these plans, so I have decided to take advantage of this ‘free’ money. My plan is set for me to retire in the year 2050… crazy eh? On days like today (see previous post) I feel that I must make notes of such events as retirement. I wrote a reminder and dated it for my birthday... [read more]

Some mornings, you just stay in bed
If there was a day to just leave and go home… today is the day. I was so excited this morning when I got to work! I have a newly acquired basketball hoop that is perfect for my cube. I won it with tickets last night at an arcade (which by the way was a blast). Anyway… there are sticky squares on the back that you have to pull off the paper to use… so... [read more]

A little bit about the status quo…
Here me out on this one… let’s look at our President, as the ‘Dad’ of the country… Today I was reading through my blogs and ran across this article from whitehouse.gov about “Congress’s Failure to Act on Comprehensive Immigration Reform”. There is a definite somber tone in this article as President Bush puts on his fatherly voice of disappointment to talk about his wayward child, congress. Ok… so congress doesn’t really equate to the President’s... [read more]
