So, the unintentional hiatus is over, as is my goal of blogging at least once a week. Gah! My faith in our modern society was shaken a little bit the other day, which almost led me to keep the hiatus going. But then I saw a good friend of mine has started a blog and [...]
Snow blows
I’d hoped that snow days would lead to some good content…but I’ve been so busy cooking, cleaning, taking care of kids, that I haven’t. Things are percolating in my head right now, though. Expect some new content very soon. –QCFM
Help refresh UCCC!
I have a favor to ask here: University Child Care Center in Springfield is in the running from a grant from Pepsi Refresh. Their proposal would provide child care scholarships to low income families. Please vote for them and make this a reality. Here’s how you can help: Vote through facebook at: http://apps.facebook.com/pepsirefresh/idea/view/id/5a2a68d4-ea58-102d-826f-0019b9b9e205 Vote through the [...]
20eleven Mission #1 – Post a Week
I don’t do resolutions, as a point of principle. This year, though, I’ve created some missions for myself. One of them is to, you know, actually update this blog I have. WordPress is enabling folks like me with their Post a Day 2011 and Post a Week 2011 campaigns. Post a Day is completely unrealistic, [...]
Finally, the U.S. gets it right on gay soldiers
In 1920, Carrie Chapman Catt and Alice Paul finished a fight started more than 70 years earlier. They took the torch from people like Lucy Stone and Susan B. Anthony and righted a wrong. With the passing of the 19th Amendment, on Aug. 26, women in the United States of America were finally granted the [...]
Pulling back the curtain
When I first started this blog a couple of years ago, I kept up a curtain of anonymity, and for a good reason. I was employed in a media job and didn’t want to create any problems for myself or my employer. That job is in my past now, and so is the curtain. I [...]
“…Each and every year we bust Christmas carols…”
Attention Star 92.9 and KGBX: I will not recognize either of you as Springfield’s official Christmas music station until you start playing this: Maybe you start playing this, you don’t have to play that God-forsaken Paul McCartney Christmas song. –QCFM
More to come from the QCFM
Basically I have more ideas and thoughts for this blog than I have energy and free time. That’s part of why my Twitter feed (@QCFamilyMan) is so active. Microblogging is just easier. But this blog is very much part of my plans in the immediate future. I’m plotting and scheming behind the scenes and am [...]
Test
I downloaded the WordPress iPhone app…just giving it a whirl.
Another brick in my old man wall
I know I’m late to the party on this, but it’s too good to pass up… I’m sure Eric Ramsey dreamed of the day he’d become a high school principal. He probably imagined the way the building would look, the relationships he’d form with his teachers and all of the children’s lives he’d [...]
