Even though I have been blogging for some time on my own domain, I still am just a newbie, and I know even less about CSS, PHP and all the other code that is used with WordPress. So I figured I would try and document some of my experiences with learning how to do things.

Technorati tags: Fishing, Travel
The site is changed a great deal in the last few days. I have added an entire section on Fishing, expanded the section on the State of Jefferson and renamed it Traveling. Continue reading ‘A New Site Format, with Fishing and Travel’
Technorati tags: Faith, Atheism, Television
I am an atheist. From the time I was sixteen years old I have been slowly evolving from an agnostic to an atheist. Actually it all started back when I was 6 years old. It was then that I discovered that the Tooth Fairy was just one of my family members. Then about a year later when my belief in the Easter Bunny was shattered I was beginning to be suspicious of all of my beliefs. It didn’t take more than a year for my belief in Santa Claus to be erased. Continue reading ‘Who Says I don’t Have Faith?’
Technorati tags: dogs, animals, nature
Friday night, close to ten PM, I was on the computer when all of a sudden Billy began barking in a very aggressive manner. I shouted for him to shut up, but it didn’t work so I got up and checked the back porch, the front porch and the yard. I saw nothing and told him to relax. Continue reading ‘Lynn’s Dog’

I had a very good friend, Susie, that frequently said, “I am so spiritual!”.
Because she was such a good friend and I don’t want to challenge her, I never commented. But because I admire much about her I would really like to understand this spiritual crap. So I looked on the web. Continue reading ‘What Is this Spiritual Crap?’
As a classical music lover, I am very disappointed in the data retrieved by Windows Media Player. Microsoft has done a really good job of creating software that allows us to maintain our music on our computers. Media Player serves all of my needs for this. But what is lacking is data about the recordings. The information is minimal at best and often meaningless. I.E. I have a number of “Track 1″ titles in my WMP library. But based on what I can find by searching the web and reading quite a few blogs and articles WMP does this as well as anyone. Continue reading ‘I Want This Web Site’
Technorati tags: Mesa, Arizona, heart failure, pacemaker, Assisted Living
My 92 year old mother had lived for 20 plus years in a retirement village in Mesa Arizona. Then she came down with congestive heart failure and had a pacemaker implanted. A year later she had decided that she could no longer live alone. Continue reading ‘Moving Mom’
