Write your representative.

    In a republic like ours one of the greatest things we can do as citizens to influence legislation is to write our representatives and senators to voice our opinion.  For this hour in history I strongly suggest writing your representative in congress against SOPA.  The Stop Online Piracy Act will allow the U.S. Government to use DNS blocking; the same method used by the PRC, Iran and Syria to censor The Internet and keep there citizens in the dark.


    Please help fight SOPA!  Fellow The Dallesians and eastern Oregonians please email Greg Walden.  You can also sign a petition at whitehose.gov to let the white house know what we think about this bill and where they can shove it.

Writing Goals

  Recently I came to the conclusion that I should write more often.  That is, I believe, I should start to consider myself a "writer."  That's the main reason there's been a bit of an increase in publishing to this blog (going from zero over the past few years to a couple times a month is a pretty huge jump).     I, like most humans, have thoughts and opinions which are a product of the times and places in which I live.  I figure I can do my part for future historians and write a few of them down.  I also just might have enough creative juice to pump out a story or two.

Some Goals for 2021

I have had a lot of time by myself recently.  I'm working away from home for a few months and my family hasn't been with me for several weeks of that.  I've tried my best to use that time for some productive self reflection, contemplation, navel gazing, etc.  The product of that is a list of goals for the year.  I wanted to put (some of) these out there publicly for some positive social pressure. Recreation & Relationship To start off, I'd like a little more fun in my life.  And I'd like to have that fun with people who I cherish. Have at least one meaningful, memorable one on one experience with each of my children.  This time apart from my family has highlighted  just how valuable time spent together is.  We're pretty good at finding ways to have fun all together at home.  We play board games, read books aloud (we read the first four Harry Potter books last year), spend time outdoors, etc.  But I have not been very good at spending...
