    I wanted to talk today about the great date set by the ending of the Mayan calander.  I am not one much for drama, or seeking meaning in dates as so many are.  I fear that when you look at one date so hard, you miss daily opportunities just by looking forward and not giving full attention ...

  • Entitlement

    Entitlement We live in a world where up is down, left is right, and right is wrong.  A place where all the rules have been tossed out, and those that play by the old rules are considered fools. I find that it can pretty much be described as entitlement.  We are born with 4 basic emotio...
