My Thanks -

I have to thank a couple of people for getting me started on this. First, my darling wife, for giving me the confidence to send my writing to our local paper.
Then to our friend Megan, who kept bugging me to show my 'voice' to others.
Finally, to editor & publisher, Darryl Mills, for letting me take up space in his paper. I don't think he knew what he was getting into.
It's all their fault...

For all three of you who read this blog, sorry for the absence. Just got back from a trip to the West Coast for a couple of weeks. 25 to 30 degree weather, blue sky, sailboats and people handing me drinks and feeding very, very well.


I've been home for three days and it just struck me that I will now have to get my own drinks and make my own meals again. I keep looking around for someone to do it for me, but all I see are my kids and dog looking back at me with the same expression.


Sigh.

Real Life Physics

Lately I find myself thinking about Physics and how it affects us all. The main reason I am delving deeply into the subject is because two of my three kids are now taking the course or have just completed it.
Now, I’ve always loved physics. There were always really cool experiments to do and generally it involved crashing different things together to see what happened. Almost as much fun as blowing things up in Chemistry class. Anyway, I am happy that I can help my kids really understand the fundamentals of the world around us.
