My remembered version of a known parable/story: There was this really old guy (age ~57), reading the newspaper, which warned of a flood coming in a month or so. He ignored it, saying, it’s a month (or so) away, I don’t need to prepare. Besides, if worse comes to worse, God will rescue me. A […]

Grad ceremony and cameras (and little girls)
Omg, so much to share, don’t know where to start. (Maybe, we’ll only share one story right now) FYI: If you bring your 4 year old granddaughter to a one-time event, such as someone’s college graduation ceremony, don’t let them play with the camera before taking the pics. Camera “setting” icon was supposed to be […]
Memories about a couple of classes at St. Thomas
Out of the ten courses I took for my recent degree, this was the most favorite of mine (software process Mgmt) – the instructor was the most engaging person I’ve ever met (in “recent” life). I really, really enjoyed learning from this guy (Syed Ali Naqvi). I cannot believe two years have gone by since […]
Chewbacca mom…
Guess what’s selling/trending like “hot cakes” on eBay? That’s right, the “talking Chewbacka mask”! 70,000 views. Lol. One person makes a silly video, posts it online, goes viral by making millions of us laugh our heads off, and now the company that makes these things is “in the money”. Who’da thunk? 🐻🐨🦁🐵??? 😱😉🤓
Memories

Random thoughts
Am I the only one that used to “rush” to the mail box each (and every) day, after coming home from work? Am I the only one that would “rush” to the curb side on Sunday mornings, to get the newspaper so we can read the news and go thru the advertisements? Sometime, around ten […]
Modelrailroading video
Kind of a longish (30 mins) video, but well worth it, in terms of seeing what can be done with model railroading. The first minute or two of the video doesn’t really do it justice – need to be a bit patient with the videographer, until he actually zooms in on the details, for example, […]
Grad ceremony and Senator Amy Klobuchar
I neglected to mention yesterday that US Senator Amy Klobuchar was the commencement address speaker. Senator Klobuchar gave a pretty awesome speech, sharing with the grads a short version of her life story of simple beginnings (grandfather was an Iron Range miner, parents were a newspaper writer/columnist, and a elementary school teacher), and her starting […]
