For this weeks lesson I dreaded doing the about page, mostly because talking about myself is not that natural to me. I had been looking through the pages of my fellow classmates. As I was looking through the pages one page and fellow students stuck out and that was Kelsey’s Kairos’s page. She did an […]

First of all I have always liked the twilight zone.  The only trouble is it was always on at a time that I should be sleeping so I rarely finished and episode. After watching Tina and the Trilogy of terror I am happy to report that there are no dolls in my house.  They moved […]

One of our tasks for the week is to identify our favorite phobia.  I would have to say mine is Arachnophobia. This makes me want to break out the gas and matches. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aQ6vg3JB2U

One of my favorite movies was the John Wayne movie Big Jake.  I included the American dialogue and the British dialogue for your amusement. American John Fain: Who are you? Jacob: Jacob McCandles. John Fain: I thought you were dead. Jacob: Not hardly. British John Fain: Who the bloody hell are you? Jacob: Jacob McCandles. […]

 As with the end of any other day, I stopped at the end of my very long driveway on my way home to check the mail. After retrieving the stack of bills and sale ads, I got back into my car and pulled up to the house.  Several hours latter I needed to make a […]

I chose this assignment due to the fact that I love history.  In particular I love the history of the 1800 and early 1900’s. This time frame in American history had many colorful characters.  Most were larger than life due to the dime novels of the day. One of the most colorful characters of the […]

Since I was a teen during the debut of First Blood and several of the other Rambo pictures that followed, this project was something I could easily relate to.  One thing I do remember about Rambo is every helicopter he flew ended up in a spectacular crash.

I went through the assignment links on ds106 and the one that stuck out for me was the one titled famous last words. I really thought that I could have fun with that one because often when someone says watch this, you are getting ready for a show. More than likely my famous last words […]

Week 1 was a fast paced week, this is especially true since I enrolled late due to a change in courses a few days after semester started. I discovered that I have allot to learn about the various accounts that I had to activate in order to participate in the course. With the exception of […]

Most of us have seen zombie movies for the last couple of decades.  The most successful zombie theme thus far has been the walking dead.  The zombies are not as scary as the living as the story progresses. It turns  out the real monsters in the series are actually the living. One of my favorite […]

For those of you that don’t know me and most of you won’t, more than likely all of you won’t know me.  I retired from the U.S. Army a couple of years ago and am preparing for another career. I have a wife, three children and three grand children.  I guess you can say that […]

I look forward to visiting each of your new blog’s and learning more about you.
