To read or not to read

By From http://www.odonnellweb.com • Jun 2nd, 2008 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

We are firmly in the non-censorship camp in this house. I think the potential damage caused by discouraging reading far, far outweighs the potential damage caused by what they may read.

By From http://www.odonnellweb.com • Jun 2nd, 2008 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

The What if I had no children question turned out to be kind of popular. 17 entries are linked from the wiki, and I think there might be more out that weren’t linked by the author. For June 15, we are going to tiptoe into the Presidential race. With any luck, the Democrats will have […]



I am Iron Man

By From http://www.odonnellweb.com • Jun 2nd, 2008 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

The girls had a 4H thing Friday night, so the boy and I took in Iron Man. Generally speaking, I’ve found most movie adaptations of comic books to be less than stellar. This is not the case with Iron Man. This is simply a great movie. Plenty of action, and in an odd turn for […]

MADD goes MAD

By From http://www.odonnellweb.com • May 31st, 2008 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

One definition of terrorism involves using fear and intimidation to scare innocent people, which is exactly what MADD and the police department did in El Camino, CA.
Many juniors and seniors were driven to tears – a few to near hysterics – May 26 when a uniformed police officer arrived in several classrooms to notify them […]

What if I didn’t have kids?

By From http://www.odonnellweb.com • May 29th, 2008 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Yes, we are making you think this time with the Thinking Parents essay. I’m going to extend this to what if I never got married, because I really can’t fathom that I would be married without kids. I’d like to think that I would have done something really cool and daring if I didn’t have […]
