Many of you may remember it was June 27, 2007 that I posted a letter of frustration about tuition going up nearly ten percent in one semester at the University of Oklahoma. Tuition goes up every semester and a ten percent jump is outrageous. Well they did it again. Here is the email that [...]
Good morning everyone,
I am anxiously awaiting the sun to return and the temperature to rise a bit. Every since the ice storm in December, life has been out of order. We have been slowly getting back to normal. Yesterday was a big step in getting back to normal when the city of Del City’s contractors [...]
Well everyone, we finally have our power back on after six days. The lights came on at 5:57 pm last night and we were just thrilled. It is hard to describe how you feel short tempered and lack of patience when your power is off. On Wednesday we went and bought us a generator at [...]
Well it has been a busy week getting ready for school. My kids started school last Tuesday and both of them are now in high school. It is hard to believe that time has gone so fast. I am so proud of them and they are really doing well. Of course this new school year [...]
This week has been a little stressful at work. We have two second level supervisors that are competitively trying to build kingdoms. They are trying to split shops and take people for their little kingdom in the name of improving things. What really happens is that no one wins, especially the people and mission. This week [...]

Man what a week. Last weekend I finished the summer semester and that is a huge weight off my shoulders. For some reason over the last week I have been in a grouchy mood. I don’t like getting like that but I have not been very friendly to be around My attitude was evident [...]
Am I the only one that is having a terrible time accessing my school work on OU’s web site this morning? I had planned this day to work on my lessons, aka papers and now I find myself in a position where I cannot even access it. I can log in to various pages part [...]
This is more typical higher education gouging going on here. This is a sensitive subject with me. Every election we hear how Oklahoma teachers are paid so low and that is followed by a plea to raise taxes. The tax payers always fall for it and vote yes every single time. For some reason, the teachers [...]
We just got home from seeing the movie Evan Almighty this evening. It was pretty good but also pretty crowded. We went to the Harkins Theater in Bricktown downtown Oklahoma City. It rained this evening for a little bit and I really enoyed the cooler evening. It was in the low 90’s but very muggy [...]
