Lunch Time: Range Time

I generally eat lunch at my desk. But occasionally I give my laptop a break from sandwich crumbs and head over to the pistol range for a quick bit of stress release during lunch. Earlier this week I had plans to do just that. But as luck would have it,…



Learning to Live

Precious! That’s the only word I can think of in describing my first hospice patient. I don’t know what led a person like me into volunteering for hospice. I have always had a fear about death and never liked to talk about it. Yet at the same time…

Stop Censorship

By From http://www.odonnellweb.com • Nov 15th, 2011 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Today Congress is debating SOPA, which will essentially give big business the power to censor the Internet of anything they don’t like.
