The subject of this post is quite off topic for this blog. But it causes me enough concern that I want to write about it anyway. It's been reported that significant numbers of commercial bee colonies have literally disappeared. The hives are intact, Read More...

Did you make some resolutions for the New Year? Is there a whiny, little voice in your head that mutters "What happened to last year's resolutions; you didn't even do one"? Many years ago, I would go through the same old thing each December Read More...

I had no idea that our trip to Hawaii would be topped off with an earthquake. We had gone there as part of Falafel Software's 2nd annual Maui retreat. For Jerilyn and I, this was our first big vacation since our honeymoon 12 years ago and the first time Read More...
