What you think does matter

Today I meet Barry Smith... and I was amazed. Barry Smith (wasp) WWII Female Pilot Age 91, and still full of vigor and life. She was here at my school to speak to the children [ our new generation ] about her life, her accomplishments, about being one of the only three hundred surviving First WWII American woman [ female] pilots of an original group of only a little more than 1,000. She told the students of her struggle to work her way into the interview process of "first women Air Force pilots" and the interesting antics of being a woman pilot in a "man" only world. Being only elementary students only the adults seemed to understand that part of her speak. She explained how she tested airplanes to insure they were safe for our "men" in the war to fly safely in combat overseas. She told us about how When her brother told her to try out to be an Air Force pilot, how she had to accrue 35 hours of fly time just to get into the interview. How no o...

Marriage, it's a wonderful thing. But it also has a special kind of place if you will. It is nothing like you see in the movies or Television. It certainly is not like what you see in the commercials. The reality of life as a married couple is more something like this...... It's not that when you get married you stop romanticizing about each other. It is not that you don't desire each other, after all that’s how we got those darn kids.... It is not that we don't love each other. The reality of life is that marriage - a true marriage [ a union of two that becomes one ] is so much more than what we fantasize about or is portrayed before us in cinema. The truth about marriage is ..... You know everything about each other. They snore, they toss in their sleep. Hell, some of them fart in their sleep [ that‘s right I said it - I don‘t do it but I have a family member who does - camping story for another time ]. We see each other do things that single people do, but are too em...

Ok, I couldn't help it, it's christmas. How can i not make a joke, a cartoon, a silly fopar [ did i spell that right? ]. It's the best time of the year... Normally I am not into christmas, atleast not for me - you know for the kids. But this year even with all the bad - I am enjoying the spirit of christmas ??? Singing and humming carols. I don't know what is wrong with me - my heart must have grown three sizes....

This was a very touching moment. I didn't realize many of my co-workers were veterans. When I saw not only my co-workers and several grandparents and family members of our student body present I was Amazed! It was also nice to see the large group that came to our school program to honor these brave men and woman. I know this video does nt do them service, or fully portray the program as a whole but I hope you enjoy it. We take forgrant many of our freedoms. I am not debating weather the war or any war is justifable, if it was money motivated or what not. All I know is that men and woman heard the call and put themselves in the line of duty, in the line of fire, to protect what we seldom cherish - freedom. If you think all these wars were wrong - remember pearl harbor, remember mass jew graves, realize that other countries still have dictators who kill anyone and everyone that disagrees with them. Remember that while we all may not like some things in our country - we are free to co...

Ok, it has been awhile but this one was way to good - it is time for a real funny blonde joke. And by "REAL" I mean real. Not a joke but something that truely happened that happened to be funny and invovled a blonde. No, I can not verify her blondeness since it was sort of a bleached blonde kind of color - but she acted like a blonde. Here we go: I am working at the Mall for the black friday and christmas season and I am sitting in this kiosk just watching people go by. The mall is not bussy and there is not much to do, so I am just watching people to kill the time. I noticed that this one older blonde has passed by my kiosk several times. She seemed to be looking for something and she is looking at all the stores intensly. So about the fifth time around she stops to scratch her head [ thinking I guess ]. So to be helpful and to break the boredom I asked if I could help. She smiles and says - this sounds stupid but I've been trying to find linda's nail Salon. I smile...

Welcome all Mad Scientist..... Ok, the only mad person was me. I am pretty sure some of our school guest must of thought I was a bit crazy as I went around like a mad paparazzi photographer taking as many pictures as I could. Oh, did I mentioned that I would forget to ask if it was ok to take a pic.. After the shutter went click.. "oh, sorry - is it ok to take your photo?" You should have seen me, looking for all the right angles, sneaking up on people to get just the right picture... I was good. All in all, the School Science night was fun, atleast for me. The funniest thing of the whole night was this one older gentlemen who for some reason or another would not let me take his picture. There he is with his child looking at this wonderful science project and I asked "hey guys let me take your picture?" So the kids pose and he steps back a bit. So I step back to get him in the shot and wait - he steps back again to get out of the shot. I even asked him to get in the...
