about hokie 94

I am a retired school administrator.   I obtained my doctorate in school administration from Virginia Tech in 94.   Blood, sweat, tears, and divorce.  But, it was worth it all.  GO HOKIES!

I truly believe that if we had more love in this world; then, we could do great things for all people.  I have read books and articles about most of the greatest philosophers of all-time during my college and university days.  I still read about them today. These philosophers, and their thoughts have something to say about love, living, forgiving, health, wealth, friendship, nurturing, sin, and how this world will live and die. 

The stuff that they have written is so true today.  Just look at the state our our Country and the World today; my friends.

There are too many people today that spend too much time concentrating on materialistic things.  We are trying to have too much without teaching values of the younger generation.  

Just work on trying to have better health and more friends.  If you have a child; then raise the child.  Don't expect somone else or the schools to do your job.

It doesn't take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does take a parent to stand up to the kid; and smack their rear when necessary, and learn to say NO!!!!

I'm a music lover.  Music makes me feel good, sad, and it brings me to the past and sometimes makes me humble.  It affects my mood.  It makes me remember people in my life; both past and present.  Music is the greatest language of the world.  

VOTE.  If you don't vote, then you have no right to criticize anything pertaining to the democratic process. 

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH  LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

Everyday; I think this: Health, Happiness, Success, and Wealth.  Wealth does not always equate to money. Having good health is worth more than all the money in the world.

I now reside in Moore County, NC.  A great place to live.

JGunn. I rarely ever go on this anymore, but it the easiest way to say hello. Congratulations to your Heels. They have one great D. Duke didn't do the normal game plan. Thye could not run on UNC. I know that you are sipping now. Have a great one. arry.

Morning,hope you had a nice Halloween an that you are doing well.Me and my family are doing good accept for mom she had a stroke a few weeks ago,she is doing better.Wishing you a blessed day.

/* knock, knock, knock */

Trick or treat!

Barry, I was surprised when you had any concerns at all about Carolina because they've stunk it up all year, but I guess you're right about any team being able to beat any team this year. Ironically, our talent lies in our defense this year, and that's always been our weak spot. It continues to be an interesting season. Happy Halloween.

Hey,I sure have missed you.Wondering what had happened to you.My family and I are doing good accept my mom had a stroke a few weeks a go and staying busy making sure she is being looked after.Hope you have had a nice weekend.Need to see nice people like you on her more.(((((Hugs))))) God bless you my friend.

State is still better than us, and we can't pass worth a flip. We have NO offense. Yeah, Butch was so worth that big fat raise he got....NOT. Oh well. You must be happy with "Beamer Ball". Hope you get one of the BCS bowls this year.

Just sopping by to say hello to a good friend.Hope you are having a good week.

Hey Barry, Boy, did my Heels ever stink it up today. I had a bad feeling about that game; just a gut instinct. I agree with you about Sexton; I wish Cam were still here, but to tell the truth, neither he nor Yates are all that good. They both can be good at times, but aren't consistently good. Hopefully Butch will recruit someone who can throw the ball - to someone on his own team, as opposed to throwing perfect passes to the OTHER team.

On a brighter note, your guys did not disappoint. I guess we have a pretty good idea who the best team in the ACC is again. Congrats on a great win and well played game. 'Ol Beamer still has it. Have a good rest of your weekend.

Hey,just stopping by to say hello and to wish a good friend a wonderful weekend.

Good Morning,nice to hear from you I missed hearing from you last weekendDoing good have no complaints.Hope you have had a good week and wishing you a blessed weekend.
