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.

Daniel Henniger points out that the current Administration ignores and outright denies the gains made before the pandemic. For example: median household income increased by 6.8% in 2019, with higher increases among blacks, Hispanics, Asians and women with historic unemployment lows in those groups. By demanding “equity” everywhere, the Democrats are proposing a lowest-common-denominator society.6/14/21
As Welsh politician David Lloyd George said: “Don’t be afraid to take a big step if one is indicated. You can’t cross a chasm in two small steps.”
