Just one more piece of technology
Dale is one of the speakers at a Lutheran district convention this week and when he called this morning he surprised me with a new idea. He is interested in us getting Apple watches. Now this came out of no where and I am not especially thrilled by the idea. It seems to me to be just one more th...

Once again the search is on
I've mentioned on here before that I am mildly addicted to Mexican Coke-the soda not the illegal stuff. This Coke is made the original way with real sugar not corn syrup and the taste is much better. But it is not available in Collinsville at any store unless you count going to one of the State ...

Advice for travelers
From a former hotel worker. Don't make the bed before you leave [a hotel]. It has to be taken apart anyway and if it looks un-slept in, it won't get changed. This is really disgusting and something we've never thought... Continue reading
