So a few weeks ago, I went in for my annual woman appointment. The doctor preceded to feel my neck and make me swallow – which I thought was strange – since he has never felt my neck before. He said that my thyroid was enlarged and that I needed to go get a blood [...]
I finally got a chance to see The Passion tonight. It was very moving and very gory. I think Mel did a good job of pulling out your emotions by using Mary. I think I now understand more of God’s love for His son as compared to a mother’s love for her son. I know [...]
I took Friday as my Spring Break vacation day. Unfortunately I didn’t go to Mexico, Miami or any beach. Instead, I went to the zoo which is almost like Mexico or Miami. Right. Anyway, we walked around in circles while the animals stared at us for 5 long, hot hours. And, as if I weren’t [...]

If so, you can bid on Clinton’s 1000 sqaure foot home in Hope, Arkansas. Better hurry, auction ends April 7th. (If you can’t view the link, click here to view an image of the auction.)
I just want to know what people are thinking when they bid on this small shack which is probably worth less [...]
In honor of St. Paddy’s day, I want to recommend an odd Irish film. It’s called Waking Ned Devine. It’s very offbeat but I thought it was humorous and Rotten Tomatoes gave it a FRESH rating of 77%.
The storyline is about an old man who wins the lottery in Ireland but dies with the [...]
Have you ever looked up your name in Google? Here is what I found out about myself:
I authored “Seamless Object-Oriented Software Architeture – Analysis and Design of Reliable Systems. (and oh yeah, I am male with a Ph.D.)
I teach entomology at the University of Illinois.
I have a son named Spencer in Illinois.
I am a Senior [...]
