In 2005, when I had more money than sense I built a level 3 rocket. In the model rocket industry there were many levels of rockets and the industry was self policing with these levels. As an example, a person can’t launch a level 1 rocket until they have obtained a level 1 license. You […]
I-20 provided a straight and very relaxing ride through the Coastal Plains of Texas. After 2 hours of driving, a delightful discussion with a lady trucker, and a dinosaur sighting, I had finally reached my destination. 1,200 miles but I had finally made it. As I drove this final stint, it occurred to me how […]

For many, this represents the end of summer so many people (sober and drunk alike) flock to any activity dealing with […]
Who has two thumbs and likes… kayaking? Yes, this guy. I have liked kayaking for a very long time. I did a course many years ago with the Boy Scouts (as a leader) and was introduced to all kind of kayaks as well as whitewater and I was hooked. I just never had the money […]
It has been one year since my last post and what a busy year. I am surviving separation. I moved with Hillary to another city. This year was my first year (and last year if I can help it) teaching at a middle school. I’m battling depression (which seems to be never ending). Our political […]
“Space: The final frontier.” – Captain Kirk That phrase has been uttered by many Enterprise Captains but it still, always gives me goosebumps. You see, I’m a space nut. No, I can’t tell you every star in our visible sky but I have the spirit to go see other worlds and cultures. So when I […]
