Two Years @ WordPress.com

7 Comments

I have been blogging here at WordPress.com for over two years now. Last week (April 9th) was the anniversary of me posting regularly on this blog. I have grown as a blogger since moving here and that is a good thing. Meeting people from around the world has helped me expand my horizons and I have enjoyed our shared interests. Blogging is about community and connections and of course content.

Here was the first post I wrote

Thanks to all those who have welcomed me and followed along since 2015. My friends Keep On Blogging!

Changed My Theme Again – Back To Twenty Sixteen

5 Comments

I switched my theme back to something darker to match the mood I am in. Twenty-Sixteen is a refreshed classic blogging theme that suits me just fine. Changing things up keeps things interesting if you ask me.

Tunes Tuesday – Richard Marx – Don’t Mean Nothin’

When you are trying to make a living, there’s no such thing as pride is a lyric from this song and I find it comforting as of late. Richard Marx sings about a timeless truth when you are trying to live, love and even work.

Daylight-Saving-Spring-Forward

It’s time to lose an hour of sleep by setting your clock ahead one hour before going to bed tonight. Daylight Saving Time begins on Sunday, March 12, 2017. I hate time change, it just sucks.

Vanessa Williams is a former Miss America and one heck of a singer. This song “The Comfort Zone” speaks to us about being there in a place of personal pleasure and what it can do to you.

Something About Education, Transportation and Innovation

1 Comment

There are things that keep a community and our world moving. Education, transportation and innovation. When you fail to fund any of these three things then things come to a stand still. People need education to prepare them for the future to innovate and to solve the worlds problems.We rise and fall on the success of our students who will lead the way of the future.

Transportation leads to its own innovations and gets people to where they need to go for work among other things. I see a lot of places where those three things are bottled up in local, state and federal politics. Those three things should never be a political hot button but they are. When an entertainer gives $1 million to a local school system that tells you something.

It seems like the future of the world unfortunately is dependent on people who are making decisions that will have serious impact on the present and the future. Too bad these folks haven’t learned the lessons of the past and no road or innovation has made it possible to travel back in time so we can learn the hard lessons of generations that have come before.

Education is the most important weapon to change the world.
