Brainiac Fund ~ A Salute to Some Friends of Mine

Yesterday (by time of this posting), I wrote a post that was way too long (1,800 words or so) and along the way, I mentioned the potential of the Brainiac Fund. I’d like to highlight a few in that brain pool: With great joy, I read yesterday that Bill Hamilton of Dealing With COPD announced […]

Gosnell who?

I woke from a bad dream around 5:00 a.m. Unable to go back to sleep, I got up, hit the button on the coffee pot, fed the cat and the dog, and turned on The Bill Bennett Show, which can be found here. I enjoy Bill’s show. He’s quiet, thoughtful and measured. But since it […]

The Sunshine Award

Million Dollar Question: “Why do you blog?”

DP Challenge: Why do you blog? I am a new blogger, just four months old. I had hopes when I began that I would cover topics as diverse as national intelligence, emergency disaster and preparation, exploration of religion to stories of my “staff,” a greyhound and a cat and that maybe someone would be interested.
