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.
Dispite the CDC's call for schools to reopen under their guidelines a step towards better public health, the Federation of American teachers is calling for public strikes if they deem conditions warrant. We ask "what about the needs of the students and their parents?" For many school lunches and breakfasts may be the best nutrition they get all day and with two working parents unable to go to work and ill equiped to home school the socioeconomic divide will widen rapidly.
Australian-American novelist Shirley Hazard once made the observation that “Some people do know more than others. That contributes to the impression that someone, somewhere knows the whole thing.”
Andrew Michta writes: “The ill-named progressivism that has inspired shrill demands to dismantle police forces and destroy statues is only a small manifestation of a massive project aimed at the re-education of the American population. The goal of this project is to negate the story of the American republic and replace it with a tale anchored exclusively in race categories and narratives of oppression…. Such cancelling of historical and living figures alike increasingly mirrors what happened under communisim in the Soviet bloc.”
