This vs. That

This vs. That
I previously posted on Free Books.     My interest in making a “To Read” List for my children and myself led to the discovery of so many Free Books. Anyway, where was I?   Oh yes – Free Book -  it has also led to a conundrum…. Free Books need a place to live.   They need...

A nice little development….

A nice little development….
The past few days have been interesting in our little Farm Prep School. The boys are great – they are quick to catch on to new concepts, do their work easily and without fuss, but here’s the kicker.     They have been ASKING to do certain things. Our schedule varies, but the boys usually...

This post inspired by The Hubs….

We were chatting the other day – actually, it is really comforting and comfortable to be on the same page as the one you walk though life with (yeah, I know its a preposition). Even if that page is one that you dont really show other people because it would generally horrify them……You...

You wont catch me in the attic….

Its been driving me nuts….How our President can bow to other kings/emperors/rulers/presidents/whatevers. How he can, in the face of OVERWHELMING DISAPPROVAL, do what he wants and act like he doesnt have a care in the world. How he can slam a white cop as stupid and then leave his “good...

This is how it started with the Zombies…

China is trying to CONTAIN deadliest form of Bubonic Plague… It started with China in World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks. Its a fabulous Zombie book that really gave me the creeps. It gives a War of the Worlds feel to it in that if you just jumped in the story, it...

Alas, Babylon

Knocked out this classic recently. If anything, summer is for reading fiction – mindless, pure enjoyment. Winter is for how-to and getting ready for projects in the Spring – but summer is for fun – FUN I TELL YOU. It was a quick, easy read. I had an initial feeling that due to...

It takes place in a North Carolina town and follows for about 1 year. It begins about an hour before the...

Book Review and the personal insight it gave….

I just finished reading the book Survivor’s Club by Ben Sherwood. It is a survey of Survivors and an analysis of what they did right and how you can adapt that to your life. People who have found themselves in situations that would kill most people. For example – knitting needle through...

Back to torture….

I have still been thinking about waterboarding and torture. I firmly believe that the United States should not be involved in torture, but I couldnt reconcile my indifference or actually my encouragement of the use of waterboarding on the person it was used on…. Until it clicked in my head that...

Bless his heart – bless ALL our hearts….

This story: Acting CFO for Freddie Mac apparently commits suicide The story does not state whether he had a wife and/or kids. I am sure he has those that love him and for their loss I am so sorry. Suicide breaks my heart because someone decides to die because whatever is coming, whatever they...
