Life Changes
Today I accepted a new full-time programmer/analyst position with a wood products company in Eugene, and gave my two-week notice with my current employer. Roughly three months ago my employer reduced my hours (and pay) by 40%. Otherwise known as a partial layoff. The reason given was dollars. Government budgets are tight everywhere and the… — read more

Great C.S. Lewis quote
I posted a portion of this quote on Facebook today. Then I found myself wanting to read the context in which it was written. Well here it is! “But there must be a real giving up of the self. You must throw it away “blindly” so to speak. Christ will indeed give you a real… — read more

Pondering Thoughts of the Vastness of Life
I sat outside this afternoon at the picnic table at work soaking up the sun (yes it does shine once in awhile here in Oregon). The view was tremendous. My office is on a hillside overlooking the south part of town, it is almost a park like setting. The industrial area below was humming… — read more

Principles for Life
I have been reading Black Belt Patriot by Chuck Norris (which I highly recommend). Imagine what this country if not the world would be like each if us adapted his Principles for Life: I will develop myself to the maximum of my potential in all ways.

Civic review
The following is an excerpt from a review of the Civic by a Kelley Blue Book editor. After our trip up the coast yesterday, I can say it’s pretty accurate. Driving Impressions The 2012 Honda Civic is not the smoothest or quietest car in the category. Nor is it the most fun to drive. Curious,… — read more
