The mighty and indomitable Og said in a posting today:  “NO life is lived in vain that was loved by a dog. No human ever had a more noble calling than to care for his four legged friend.” And he’s so right….. Thanks to everyone who has written, called, or texted with good wishes and… Continue reading

Something occurred to me today.  College degrees are the modern day equivalent of Patents of Nobility.  Sometimes they indicate quality, sometimes you might as well have hired a naked guy to write them up for you……  But either one is either trumped or enhanced by experience, knowledge, a will to learn, and heart.
