Yep, at times it’s been a battle, but unlike the Spartans; David and I have come out victorious. It’s only taken us two years and one month to reach the 300 blog article milestone, and fortunately for all concerned it didn’t require us wearing loincloths!
The Spartans were well known for fighting as a well trained phalanx and I’d like to think of David and I in a similar fashion when it comes to our blogging, because we wouldn’t be near as successful without each other. [Read more...]
“Got Your 6” as some may know is military jargon for “I’ve got your back“. Now it has a new meaning, it’s the name of an organization devoted to bridging the military-civilian divide and also changing the dialogue in America, so that our veterans are seen as assets, not liabilities.

Lately I’ve been watching Finding Your Roots on PBS and the NBC program Who Do You Think You Are? and they have influenced me to delve into my own genealogy and garner a better understanding of my family’s origins. And to be honest, it’s been a fascinating journey. Being a 1/4 Czech and knowing of my German, Scots – Irish, English, and Finnish lineage, I had assumed that the majority of my ancestors were going to be recent immigrants to America, perhaps only going back to the mid 19th century.

Writing the title to this blog reminded me of that line from The Wizard of Oz – “Lions, and tigers, and bears! Oh, my!” We all know the deal, Dorothy, The Tin Man and the Scarecrow frighten themselves as they begin their journey down the yellow brick road. I felt the same way last week when in the space of a just a couple of days, I heard about the Louis Vuitton $68 designer condoms, iPod vibrators and a future where android brothels might be the norm!
Oh, my, indeed! [Read more...]
Sharing pithy little graphics seems to be how a lot of folks communicate today. For those of us who use social media sites it seems to be the best way to share a point, a thought, or something comical with our friends and family. The problem that Loren and I have noticed, is that a lot of them just plain suck. The graphics, while containing something pithy or funny can still look terrible, have misspellings, or use crappy clip-art. [Read more...]
