I’ve been doing genealogy research since 1994. At that time I had a computer and I was looking for games for the kids and myself. A popular game was Kings Quest by Roberta Williams. When I was looking in a store I saw the software KinQuest. It was on a 5 1/4 inch floppy disk […]

Ignorance and Arrogance
I was in bed this morning waiting for the alarm clock to ring. I had just been to the washroom and I couldn’t go fall back to sleep. I was preparing mentally for my day at work; 12 hour shift. It is the first of the day shifts, having been on night shift for the […]
Blogs needed
Blogs mainly are what keeps me returning to this site. Lately there have been very few blogs. I can write blogs but I would rather read them. Do I have anything to share? Probably I do. I have had passions throughout my life; I would not say that I’m obsessed, but I do get involved […]
Generativity
I first heard that word on an episode of Bull, starring Michael Weatherly. When I was young, I always had a dictionary beside me for instances where I encountered new words. Today, I just googled it. From what I understand, it would be comparable to the transfer of information from a tradesman to an apprentice. […]
YouTube Channels
I created my YouTube channel 5 years ago when my last granddaughter was born. I have sporadically uploaded videos throughout the years. And I have two music playlists: 70’s and 80s music. Lately I have discovered that there are persons and subjects on YouTube that interest me. They upload videos regularly and I did subscribe […]
RTR (Rubber Tramp Rendez-vous)
As a sequel to my blog “Vandwelling”, I would like to introduce a vandweller, Static CamperVan. I just subscribed to his channel after hearing this excerpt. I do believe in what he says about happiness. Wisdom is not necessarily dependent of age as you will see. RTR is where other vandwellers meet in person, they […]
Vandwelling
I’ve been interested in the concept for many years. I had envisioned touring Canada in an RV in the late 90’s. My hobby is genealogy and at the time I had a desktop. I figured an RV would be nice to hold all the books that I use for research, and the computer tower and […]
Logins and Passwords
When I was in high school, the only numbers I had to remember were my padlock combination on my locker. My new computer came with a program to keep logins and passwords. It’s called Dashlane. It even fills out forms with the information I put in there. Yesterday I thought I’d make a copy of […]
Fun times
I can remember a time when we had an hour on here every week where the object of a game was to come up with a phrase once we were given a sequence of letters, like “awlptze”. I cannot recall what the game was named. But I remember participating a few times and what I […]
SC Question Time
“Question Time. Click above to answer today’s question.” Well it’s been 9 days and it’s still the same question. I thought that every day there would be a new question. A few weeks ago I was listening to a talk show on satellite radio, about the art of questioning; A More Beautiful Question by Warren […]
