After a semester off (not counting summer semesters), I am once again enrolled in classes at IUSB.  This time I’ve decided to take two classes, call me crazy.  I am taking Legal Environment of Business and World Regional Geography.  These classes will assist me in my new determination to finally get a bachelor’s degree.  Hopefully [...]

Somehow it’s already time for our family’s birthday parade to begin.  I want to wish my wonderful wife a very Happy Birthday.  With my current surgery, she is pulling her load and mine and I am lucky to have her taking care of me.  I wish her the best on her birthday and hope that [...]
