Born a 10th generation Oregonian, (5 generations on each side) I have an enthusiasm for learning and teaching new things. After a ten year mini career in the dental field I moved on to research and embraced the social web. Though the internet is far too large for any one person to claim to be an expert, I can hold my own with the latest trends.
I enjoy researching and writing blogs. As the "Internet Program Director" for myMotherLode.com since 2008, I update the website and have a wide variety of interests. There is always something entertaining, educational or inspirational to share.

Democrat Dick Durbin and Republican Lindsey Graham re-introduced a bill that would create a path to legal permanent residence for those so-called “Dreamers” who pursue postsecondary education, work for at least three years or served in the military. They also must pass background checks with a clean criminal record and have a high school diploma. And, we especially like this provision, be proficient in English and U.S. history.
