Youthful Recollections: SUMMERTIME VI Next in a series for The Record of Wilkes By Russ Pearson (Continued from last week): Then came the summer of 1962… the summer following my freshman year at Brevard College. Not only was I a year older but presumably a year wiser and more sophisticated. An...
I tend to jot down things in my planner - on the planning spaces and in the margins. Random phrases I think up, observations during class, things I think are interesting, notes I write to fellow classmates. Here are some of them. Some days are more productive in this area than others. From the...
Former McCain strategist John Weaver was more direct in his criticism, slamming Palin for using the book for “petty and pathetic” score-settling. “Sarah Palin reminds me of Jimmy Stewart in the movie 'Harvey,' complete with imaginary conversations. All books like these are revisionist and...

POSTMODERNISM IN 8 IMAGES 1. This work, from one of Prince's most recent series - Canal Zone, is a prime example of the Postmodern technique of appropriating images. Appropriation is a Postmodern strategy designed to explore, and exploit, the existing cultural 'reading' of an image by placing it...
The trip comes back to me in a montage of memories that take me from one place to another in no chronologically correct order – just random snapshots of our trip tumbling through my head like a poorly organized, fast paced slide show. I’ll be in a cozy café on a side street in damp Bergen where...

Except for Ikatan Tali and First Aid.. LOL.. Nvm, the title is still ours.. Haha.. Actually, we won 2 mini...
Sometimes I don't know exactly what I want to say, but just the fact that I know that God is always there helps me through so much. I know that I'm past through all that crap in my life, yet it's like new things always seem to be popping up. I wonder sometimes why does God do things to us? Why does...
Thanks for all the great discussion on the last topic. Some really great points made. Naturally, when I'm thinking on something, other things whirl about on tangents to that thought and some come to surface as partial thoughts themselves. One particular one is the following situation. You wake up...
Ever had a camping trip? If you love adventure, you'll love to go camping. My husband and son decided to go to Lake George for a weekend getaway. Quite often we stay at Hearthstone Point Campground but they were closed (it will be open on mid-May) so we decided to see what else was available around....
I am not a wild party animal. Yes, I would rather stay home and get lost in a book than go to a raging party. I stay up all night and I sleep all day. The computer is my source of information; I'm not just wasting my life away on it. I read articles and news prints and anything else I'm curious...
It sometimes seems very strange to me how events of a personal sort transpire, how coincidental associations seem so particularly strong. Around the Thanksgiving holiday here in the US I'd mailed the DVD series "The Greatest Generation" to my Uncle, just after watching a few of the episodes in that...
What do you do if you do not have a reservation at a particular campsite and know that the weather is going to be crappy in that area? I think if there is no reservation involved any sane person will just decide to go to some other place where the weather is relatively better! Well, A and me are not...
Wednesday 22nd July 2009 It took President Obama six months to pick a dog for the White House, but he wants Congress to pass a massive health care reform bill in two weeks! This is insane. Congressional Budget Office Director Elmendorf tells Ways and Means that: "The coverage proposals in this...
Sookie embarks on a dangerous mission to locate Godric. Bill is shocked when a vampire from his past resurfaces in Dallas. Jason makes some difficult decisions. Wow. Whoa. WOW. This week’s episode more than made up for last week’s. I don’t even know where to begin. Oh, yes I do! As I have...
Jon, Dom, Joleen and I headed up to Indian Peaks Wilderness for the weekend. We planned out a 15 mile loop starting at Hessie Trailhead, just outside of Eldora, CO, that would take us along Devil's Thumb Trail, High Lonesome Trail (Continental Divide), and King Lake. We were meeting Dom and Joleen...
July 4th weekend was awesome! After harping about the weather the whole week before the trip; on the day we left I finally decided to let the weather go and just enjoy whatever is in store for us. So after work on Thursday night, we left for NH and as we always do, we reached the campsite when it...
In an attempt to avoid such lengthy delays in posting, we're blogging from the road this time. Part 1 of the big Road Trip 2009 took us from Chicago to St. Louis in around 4.5 hours, thanks to Speed Racer AKA Matt. We got in 11:00pm and found a Holiday Inn Express (free wireless and breakfast!!). In...
