  • Journal Entry – Scotland Day 4

    I am really trying to wear myself out, since I walked/hiked 7.22 miles or 16,200 steps today. I got back around 2:00 and was in the hot tub for a half an hour just after 4:00. The hot tub does help with my sore muscles, but they could use a massage. Massages here cost about…

  • Journal Entry – Scotland Day 3.

    I did sleep good last night, like eight hours. Probably the best that I have slept for months. Although my body did seem to be rested, I still felt rested. I do not feel like I had jet lag, since I was to tired that the time did not make a difference. Since it was…

  • Journal Entry – Day 2

    It was 12:00 Scotland time when I got to the resort, and I am really tired. Of course, I did not sleep on the plane last night. I was up for about 23 hours when I got to the resort, and now I am waiting until my suite is open. I am begging to wonder…

  • Journal Entry – Scotland Day One

    Currently, I am at ORD (Orchard Airport). For those that are not aware of O’Hare”s indemnification, O’Hare was an Orchard before it was an airport. It is like Two Star General Jimmy Stuart getting his pilot’s license miles out of Los Angeles at LAX. Just a little history. I got up at 6:00 this morning,…

  • Journal Entry – Scotland Day Minus One

    For many weeks, I have been planing a trip to Scotland using my Hilton points. So, there is no cost for the resort. Since I am a member of Delta Airlines, I am receiving good benefits for the flight. Tomorrow, at 9:00, I leave for Whitewater. After a few negative issues today that will cost…

  • State of the Union – Framers Prediction

    From the comments from the Framers as they drafted to our Constitution, they did predict the poor behavior used by some of US Senators during the recent State of Union address, and this is why they wrote the Constitution with the US Senators being appointed by the state legislatures. It should be stated that the…

  • Winter Olympics

    I just love the Winter Olympics, since they are filled with some many emotions. However, for this event, it seems to be overshadowed by politics, and not the human achievement. Carrying politics into the Olympics has made them hard to watch. The Olympics are really based on emotions. We see athletes that have struggled all…

  • Can’t Leave Levelland

    Four the past four weeks, it seems like I have been trying to leave Levelland, but forces beyond my control are keeping me here. It started with a respiratory infestation that everyone seemed to have after the holidays. It took me about ten days to get over. Then a big snowstorm came in and shut…
