The ‘Let Joe Know’ segment on ABC15 in Arizona is always informative and entertaining. This time Joe visited a funeral home that kept a Veteran’s body on ice for 3 months, only burying him after being called out by ABC15. This was both very sad and so disrespectful. ~Bill posted by Joe Ducey,… Read More
International Firefighters Day – May 4, 2015
Who will you honor today? Firefighting is more of a passion than it is a job, at least for two of my uncles whom I’ve always greatly respected. Today, on International Firefighters Day, it is my honor to recognize Capt. David Frizelle (retired), and Lt. Eugene Diramio (Aug.19, 1935 – Feb.16, 1996), both admirable men… Read More

I can still hear my teacher’s words, almost 50 years later.
I’m not sure that teachers fully realize how powerful their words can be. As a child, we spend nearly as much of our lives with our teachers as we do with our family. We look to them for wisdom- after all, they know what we do not. We rely on them for advice- teachers are… Read More

I readily admit that back in 1998 I was right there with the masses when they asked “What was she thinking???” In this TED Talk video, Monica Lewinsky tells us what she’s thinking now, and believe it or not we should all be thinking the same thing. ~Bill
If there’s any flexibility in your home buying plans, now is the time!
It seems like whenever or wherever I’m driving, Dave Ramsey is on. His show causes lively debate in my car… even when I’m driving alone 🙂 I also read his blog and I found the one below especially interesting. Most people have a set schedule for when they want or need to buy a home,… Read More

I have little to no connection to anyone in the high-tech field and even less technical ability, so any chance of my being on the short list for an invitation to next year’s event is nil. Still, I am completely fascinated by the technological world’s view… Read More
