Rather than go to the Lord's Supper, today I stayed home today since my daughter Tabitha has been sick with a cough and a high fever. I realized that with four small kids that I don't have time to socialize with my friends nor do activities with my wife. With four kids, my life revolves around work, commuting (4-5 hours a day) and spending time with my family. It's been good to get a break during the Christmas and just relax. We are planning to go South Carolina for a church conference next week. As far as work is concerned, I am open to job close by my house. If that doesn't pan, I am considering getting a job at the UN and work in Europe (Austria, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, UK and others) or South America (Mexico, Brazil) for a few years and expose my family to the international life. I was blessed when I was kid to have seen different cultures and lifestyles and those experiences have helped me in my life. According to some of my co-workers, FAA has to take y

Well, here is a blog post after two months. Yesterday I went to Mike Anderson's groom shower (a Christian bachelor party with lots of foods and great fellowship) at BD Mongolian Grill at Bethesda, MD. It was great! I see a young dental student ready to take the big plunge with his beloved fiancee Anna "So to be Anderson" Hartley. He was sitting with other men who are married. I wondered what they were thinking: Were they remembering their big days or what life is all about after we, the married men, were married. Hey Mike, if you are reading this, you will be joining our club soon and you will be a joyful man. You may not happy all the time nor sad all time but you will appreciate what marriage is all about. Congrats Bro.! Michelle and I are excited for you and Anna and we will joining you on your big day! Is Mark and Angie's ex-pet dog coming to the wedding? :)

Last night my daughter Tabitha insisted that I take her to a basketball game played by the faculty members of New Market Elementary School. In other words, Tabitha wanted to see Ms. Warner, her Kindergarten Teacher, play some ball. So today I got home at 5:43am and took Tabitha and Seth to the basketball game. I had to pay $3 for tickets and then we watched the game. The game was lively and I have to say that the teachers are extremely competitive. There was shoving, pushing, teachers fighting over a ball, etc., etc. In the end, it was a good game. My daughter wasn't watching the game but she was screaming, "Let's go New Market" and "You can do it Ms. Warner". Meanwhile Seth was awfully quite and the only question is asked me is, "Why are there basketball nets in the roof?" I had to explain to him that the other baskets rolled down when there wasn't an actual game being played. After I answered him, I realized that he is our little sc

For the last five months or so, I have been hampered by this persistent cough which doesn't seem to go away. I have been on inhalers, cough syrups, antibotics, steroids and nothing seems to be working really well. Only time and prayers should heal it. One thing does seem to do its job is sucking on cloves. Yup! Good ole' organic cloves. My daughter Patricia starts to gag when I show the cloves on my tongue. She thinks the cloves are dead bugs. Aren't I mean? :)

I have to say that the position of the US President has been a huge fascination of mine from the last six and half years. I am a history buff and am a fan of social history. I don't care much for how a war was executed or which policies helped a country or two. I am a fan of social history and have been for most of my life. What I care about is how people through the rivers of time thought and perceived life around them. When you study this, you realize that the people may dress different, think different or even speak different but the common things that tie altogether through the splitting forces of time is how people individually react to stresses, joys and tragedies in life. US Presidents go through a heightened state of reactions since their decisions impact millions of people around them. My fascination started when I read the biography of John Adams by David McCullough. The book showed a human who was trying to do his best to lead a country but no one was happy with h
