30 May, 2017 – A Body in Motion

admin May 30, 2017 No Comments

Newton’s First Law of Motion states that a body at rest will remain at rest unless an outside force acts on it, and a body in motion at a constant velocity will remain in motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an outside force. I’m going to be ( continue reading… )

May 29, 2017 – Beer, BBQ and Parades

admin May 29, 2017 No Comments

May 28, 2017 – Time

admin May 28, 2017 No Comments

I recently read a book, The Time Book: A Brief History from Lunar Calendars to Atomic Clocks, by Martin Jenkins which talked about how we measure time. Before the invention of the mechanical clock every great civilization measured time in its own special way, with the associated problems. In ancient ( continue reading… )

May 26, 2017 – A Light From the Shadows Shall Spring

admin May 26, 2017 No Comments

I wanted to follow up the darkness post with something “lighter”, so chose the Tolkien quote, because it does a pretty good job of summing up what I hope you glean from this post.  I cannot promise this will be my last “preachy” post, but this is part of the ( continue reading… )

May 24, 2017 – On Darkness and Depression

admin May 24, 2017 No Comments

I have started and deleted this post several times, for a couple of primary reasons, but mainly because the personal examples are still difficult for me to open up about. Of course, most of the times I started this column I was already in a bit of a mood, so ( continue reading… )

May 23, 2017 – The IKEA Effect

admin May 23, 2017 No Comments

We did a lot this weekend as a family and I thoroughly enjoyed all of it. It’s just so nice to be back together even though I understand and accept that it’s temporary as our children begin their own adult lives in their own unique ways. I cherish every moment ( continue reading… )

May 21, 2017 – Fortunate Generations

admin May 21, 2017 No Comments

I was reading Peter Diamandis’ weekly newsletter (highly recommended by the way) which described a newly invented bra that will help detect breast cancer and I couldn’t help think how fortunate we are to live in this time.  I mentioned in a previous post how my grandparents had watched the ( continue reading… )
