Today marks the end of our long Holiday weekend and months.  We, just like most have been in sort of a holiday mode since Thanksgiving back in November.  I have been off work for the last five days celebrating the New Year holiday and tomorrow it is back to work.  Back to a normal schedule.  [...]

Happy Thanksgiving

This weekend we went to my father in law’s house in Checotah, Oklahoma for Thanksgiving.  With the exception of two people engaging in a small political argument it was a pretty good time.  There were many family relatives that showed and for the most part, everyone enjoyed themselves.  This morning my wife and I defied [...]

Happy Veterans Day

I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank the veterans of the United States military on this day.  Our country as diverse as it is shares the freedoms that many countries do not have.  The freedoms that we take for granted are often non existent some other countries.  We owe a debt of gratitude [...]

My Bah Humbug View of Holidays

Jul 01, 2008 Posted Under: Events, holiday

This coming Friday is Independence Day in the United States and by far my favorite holiday of the year.  This is a day where you can just enjoy life and be with your friends and family.  So far Hallmark has not ruined it by making it a gift guilt holiday like Christmas, Mother’s Day, Father’s [...]

Christmas

Dec 25, 2007 Posted Under: Events, holiday

It has finally arrived and I am glad.  We have had a nice day so far but it has a little bit of dread since tomorrow we have to go back to work.  We could not ask for better weather as it is 60 degrees out there and clear.  It looks like a cold front [...]

Dec 24, 2007 Posted Under: Events, holiday

I know I have posted in the past about this sad topic before but I thought being Christmas eve, it is relevant to mention again. In that previous post, I was angry and was speaking out of emotion. First the picture above is an example of what has always made me proud to live in [...]

Don’t Happy Holidays Me!

Dec 01, 2007 Posted Under: Christmas, Events, New Year, Thanksgiving

If there is anything that really gets to me is the never ending “Happy Holidays” or Holiday this or Holiday that.  It is CHRISTmas!  We do not buy gifts for New Years Day, or Thanksgiving Day.  This is the Christmas season period.  Lets not forget that Christmas is the birth of Jesus.  It has nothing [...]

Happy Father’s Day

Jun 17, 2007 Posted Under: Events

I do not like these holidays but I will not get into that.  I have so many responsibilities that I just want to lounge on this day.  I can not relax though because I have school work to do.  I have several papers to write and I will not have time to relax except in [...]

I hope everyone is doint well this holiday.  This has been a productive weekend as far as getting a persistent computer problem fixed.  As many of you know I also run the Del City Amateur Radio Club repeater nodes as well.  One of our repeaters is connected to the WIN System most of the time.  [...]
