Leesburg Bikefest 2013

I say it every year; the Leesburg Bikefest motorcycle rally is the best Florida rally there is.  It is better than Daytona, if less well-known. I rode to the rally this morning solo.  The Binary Princess is in Phoenix, AZ visiting a close friend.  The kids stayed at home.  I was, for the first time […]

Boston Just Proved That The Terrorists Have Won

(EDIT: lively Facebook discussion on this blog here.  Feel free to join in) On the 10-year anniversary of 9/11 I blogged about how the terrorists had succeeded in changing the very fabric of our culture and had thus won.  Now, in the wake of the horrific events surrounding the bombing of the Boston Marathon, I say again […]

Parents Should Teach Their Children Gun Safety

There’s a lot of media coverage this past week about children and guns.  It’s to be expected, it’s the media theme of the month.  There is not an increase in gun-related deaths, only an increase in the reporting of them.    There is a lot of talk and rhetoric about gun control and changes necessary […]

Walk a Mile In My Shoes …

Let me start by saying I have a great support network of friend, colleagues, and relatives who all care deeply for me and my health.  I am gently pushed, reminded  and encouraged daily to lead a healthy(ier) lifestyle, to get […]

Gave Ashlee an "eye pad" for Christmas last year

I have a daughter and her name is Ashlee Sparks

She didn’t want me in her life. Not at first, anyway.  I was mommy’s new boyfriend and I was a nuisance because I kept getting in the way of how things were supposed to be.  Sure, she liked me.  I was funny, considerate, and I actually talked to her and was interested in who she was.  But […]

TSA Allows Knives on Planes Now

More TSA Tomfoolery

This question isn’t whether or not the TSA should allow knives on planes.  The question is why is the TSA even involved in private travel in the first place? (why is there even such a thing as the TSA?) Security is the job of the airlines and the airports; not the federal government.  When a […]

Review of the Microsoft Surface RT Tablet

As Program Manager at myList, part of my job is to evaluate all new devices that may support my application, see how it works, and determine what, if any, changes need to be made to my platform to support the new device.  To that end, I was excited and had high expectations when I walked into the […]

My Publishing Strategy for NASA #Atlantis Social

This Thursday I get to participate in a NASA social event, celebrating the final journey of the Space Shuttle Atlantis from Kennedy to the KSC Visitor’s Complex.  Only 45 of NASA’s social media followers have been selected to participate in the event, and I am fortunate enough to be a follower so selected. As many of you know, I am an amateur astronomer […]
