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.
The last time the U.S. had a balanced budget was in 2001. Both Democrat and Republican administrations have increased deficits since then, often by obfuscating the impact of their expensive, ideological and pork filled legislation with misleading titles such as the “Inflation Reduction Act.” The result? The gross national debt now exceeds yearly gross domestic product.
English anthropologist Thomas Henry Huxley advised us to “Make up your mind to act decidedly and take the consequences. No good is ever done in this world by hesitation.”
