  • Punished By Rewards: The Trouble with Gold Stars, Incentive Plans, A's, Praise, and Other Bribes
    Punished By Rewards: The Trouble with Gold Stars, Incentive Plans, A's, Praise, and Other Bribes
    by Alfie Kohn

    Another book that I probably agree with the principle but not the origins.  A great read so far.

  • Talent Is Never Enough: Discover the Choices That Will Take You Beyond Your Talent
    Talent Is Never Enough: Discover the Choices That Will Take You Beyond Your Talent
    by John C. Maxwell

    Any John C. Maxwell book is a great read and this is no exception.  How many people think they can or cannot make it in this world simply because of talent?  What is amazing is how many people hold on to this view despite much evidence to the contrary - talent is great but determiniation and focus will take you farther.

  • Wired That Way
    Wired That Way
    by Marita Littauer, Florence Littauer

    Always the student - I (nurture) totally and utterly disagree with the title (nature), but I bought and I am reading anyway.  Full of great observations - we just disagree on the origins.

    One Particular Harbour

    Our namesake and still a favorite.  One particular harbour - have you found yours?

  • 5th Gear
    5th Gear
    by Brad Paisley

    This guy has a great sense of humor.  Ticks.  I’m Still A Man.  It’s simple, but hey, it’s real and that’s country.

These videos are optimized for, well, nothing - I don’t know how to optimize them so I hope you have high-speed internet or you will want to be patient while a video downloads.

Three Wooden Crosses

Stumbled across this recording I made, man, probably 3 years ago now. I’m somewhat of a perfectionist and it’s not perfect, but what the hell, it’s for my Mom anyway and she long ago learned to look past my imperfections. :)

Karaoke

These videos are now about 2½ years old now (August, 2004), but still fun. Most were from the visiting Grandpa and Grammy at their campground and the final 2 were us just goofing around at the Indiana State Fair.

Mambo Number 5

A special thanks to my sister-in-law Lori for having us to her hospital to personally do our ultrasound of Baby #5. I am still not what to think of this 4-D ultrasound - kind of weird in an Alien Returns kind of way, yet very intriguing and educational.

But, I had to know - what the heck is 4-D? I googled it and the ‘added’ dimension is time. Oooooh, silly me. So, these are just still 3-D images looped together which is why she, yes another she, look like she is doing the Mambo under a strobe light.
