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.

While we don’t profess to know who is right, wrong or just “mis-remembering” in the Joe Biden-Tara Reade conflict; we do, however, wonder what happened to the Me-Too Movement’s stand that “All women must be believed.” Or does that only apply to frat boys and Republicans that stand accused of twenty to thirty year-old bad actions?5/18/20

Let’s take our minds off of COVID-19 for a minute and refocus on Adam Schiff’s antics in Congress. After crying “Cover-up” re the Trump campaign of four years ago and, despite a bipartisan unanimous vote of a committee, he still will not release declassified transcripts of secret interviews with Obama Cabinet members Susan Rice and Samantha Powers; nor those of Donald Trump Jr, Jared Kushner and other Trump campaign advisors. Could it be that it’s because those transcripts ALSO show that there is no “there, there” when it comes to Russian collusion?5/11/20
