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.
Andrew Jackson "Any man worth his salt will stick up for what he believes right, but it takes a slightly better man to acknowledge instantly and without reservation that he is in error."
Coach John Wooden, who knew a thing or two about integrity and character, said: “You are not a failure until you start blaming others for your mistakes.”
California’s bullet train to (and from) nowhere has just upped its price tag to $105 billion. That is more than two and a half times the voter approved $40 billion, and the first section still is not built out nor anywhere near operational. Think how much could be done with that money for far more critical issues facing the state such as wildfire mitigation, water storage and road improvements. It’s almost criminal.
