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.
The U.S. withdrew from the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement and now China has applied to join that body, subsequently renamed CPTPP. Our membership would have solidified relations with Asian countries ex-China and helped counter China’s aggressive behavior in the region. The one and maybe only decision of the Trump Administration that should have been overturned by Biden, is our membership in the TPP.
