I’ve often wonder how people know things or how information spreads from one person to another. Not so much in an educational classroom sense but those things that you pick up in daily life. Then, the other day I ran across this article on Evolution and Facebook’s “25 Random Things”. The results of the questionnaire […]
Sometimes when I read the results of a new scientific study, such as this one on “Loss of Height Linked to Breathlessness in the Elderly“, I wonder why they didn’t know that already. One researcher said: “The results of the study were far more profound that we expected, given the relatively small number of subjects […]
I have good days and so-so days and bad days. Today started as a good day so I rushed about doing everything I’d let slide over the past week. I got caught up on a lot of work tasks, did some housework, and then…ran out of steam. I should of known it was too good […]

Well, it’s been a wonderful day for me. I stayed up last night until after Obama gave his speech. I thought it was extremely well said — spurring the nation on to the work that must be done over the next several years. McCain’s concession speech was also very well done — I think if […]
