Not much time to blog this morning, but this article is a great example of our soldiers bravery. I have always been, and will always be very proud of the men and women of our armed forces. Semper Fi!

The President We Need

-
So it has been an interesting year and some change since our last election. The person I had hoped would get the nomination did not. Faced with the choice between an evil person (Hillary) and an obnoxious businessman (Trump), it seemed that I was doomed to once again choose between bad and worse. I will say that while I don't always agree with the way he acts or the words he speaks, I do agree with he's been able to accomplished. With the media exposed for what they truly are (hacks who carry the Democratic Party banner), it is somewhat refreshing to see someone who causes them no end of discomfort. My wife sent me this  article that pretty much sums up why Donald Trump may be the President we need. I rarely watch any news these days so my blood pressure has a chance to remain fairly low. The lies and deceit that are told and written to pass as "journalism" are a sad reminder that this country is being divided by those who we once trusted. I check a few blogs, l...

Family

-
Recently we had our second scare with Finn our Golden Retriever. Last year he had a tumor removed from his right cheek that was in fact cancerous. Move forward 11 months and suddenly out of nowhere a marble sized bump appears near his lip on the same right cheek. We have been checking him regularly and in fact he had just visited the Vet for his yearly check-up and nothing. Took him in and they recommended surgery to remove it. Once again poor Finn had to endure another visit to the vet that turned into something major. They also called during surgery and said one of his back teeth was bad and needed removal. What do you do at this point? Your dog is family right? I cannot imagine a scenario where I don't do exactly what we did even though the bill was pushing $1000. He is a member of our family, how could I possibly not do everything I can for him. Fast forward to yesterday and the vet called with the result of the pathology was negative. This was a benign tumor, not cancer!...

One of those days

-
Yesterday was just one of those days, first my wife gets stuck , then there is so much busy work, that I get almost nothing accomplished. It was a tweener, somewhere between a good and a bad day. I have this inner desire to actually earn the money my company pays me, a work ethic my Father instilled in me. My Dad is an amazing man. When we moved to Colorado in 1975, he was in the Air Force. Two years later he retired. My sister and I were both in high school at the time, my sister was a senior and getting ready to go off to college. I remember nobody wanting to hire my Dad for anywhere near enough money (he was a retiree, and back then most employers discriminated against military retirees, as they had their retirement money and so felt they could pay them less). Knowing he had commitments, he went out and worked two jobs. Here was a man who was at the top of his profession (electronics expert, having worked on the best the USAF had to offer), working at a Total gas station at ni...
