While I was visiting with a friend this weekend, her teenaged son wanted to pick up some paint thinner. He recently was given a broken down classic Ford Mustang which he is restoring and rebuilding and he was told by the folks helping him that paint thinner would help him strip off the paint currently on the car. So we took him to the local Walmart and waited outside in the car while he went in to pick up what he needed.

When I was a child, I went to Catholic School, and learned at an early age that the time between Noon on Good Friday and Easter Sunday is the most sacred time of the year. As I’ve become more serious about my religion, albeit now as an Episcopalian and not a Catholic. Now, I’ve admittedly waxed and wained on this topic over the years.

It's been a while since I've felt inspired to write in this blog, other projects have gotten in the way but tonight I seem to have found my voice.

I'm watching the State of the Union address while watching and it's amazing to me how much we're still divided as a nation. And whether our side won or lost we're still bitter.

Recently in a LinkedIN group for Eagle Scouts someone asked if it was appropriate to list the fact that he made Eagle and if so should he list the year. His concern was that it reveals your gender and a general idea of your age. Where I believe that discrimination is a horrible thing, generally speaking I can determine someone's age looking at their education and work history (If you have 20 years of work experience you at least in your late 30's but probably in your early 40's). Now the group is a prime example of a social networking echo chamber.
