Is This Important Work?
Sunday, August 12th, 2007When our children were very young, my wife would sometimes look deep into my eyes and say “I think I am losing it!

Happy Independence Day
Wednesday, July 4th, 2007For those of my friends in the US – Happy Independence Day! I was looking for pictures of the American flag when I realized that the front of my house was as “patriotic” as any so I went out and took a picture of my own house! Like many US citizens, I am proud of [...]
