From the yearly archives: 2008

When I was asked to make this address I won­dered what I had to say to you boys who are grad­u­at­ing.  And I think I have one thing to say.  If you wish to be use­ful, never take a course that will silence you.  Refuse to learn any­thing that implies col­lu­sion, whether it be a […]

This Christmas …

On December 26, 2008 By

Merry Christ­mas!  Well, now as the sun sets and the par­ties wind down, most of us have enjoyed yet another day of mem­o­ries.  Hope­fully, no one for­got the orig­i­nal rea­son we cel­e­brated the rea­son this day was named for.

Hmm…this is a tough one.  I’ll bet I know who came to your mind first.  You.  Would you con­sider oth­ers, or giv­ing to char­ity?  If so, how much, or what per­cent­age?  Of course, we all have a few press­ing needs that a bailout could eas­ily cover, but what about the rest?

Here’s my idea…pay off the […]
