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.

Golo use to be fun for me also,like you i do not like the m ean comments on here and getting to the place i do't like being here,i have made a lot of good friends on here like you and that is one reason why i don't leave.Getting to the place with so many false Id don't know who my friends are on her or who will be the next one to say mean things all though every one has been nice to me so far.I love every oe and try to treat other as i would like to be treated.Wish eery one could get a long and leave the mean comments off every one has there personal oppinion my motto is if you can not say somthing nice don't say any ting that is what you call being in controll of what you say and thinking twice before you speak.Thank you for being a friend.God bl

I love to read. I have been reading Kazuo Ishiguro. He is very subtle and extremely intelligent. He is also a little dark...but not too much so.

I've been doing well. Hope you have. Where have you been? Anywhere exciting!? Hee hee! I've just been working and coming home. Same song, different verse. Could be better, could be worse. :-)
I am WAITING for it to cool down in the afternoons. The mornings feel great now, but the afternoons, to me, are still too warm. I'm ready for cool, then cold weather. I'm ready for some SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope you have a great Fri., and a wonderful weekend. Always nice to hear from you. Have a good night. :-)

I never get to Southern Pines, but your offer was so kind. I sware that makes me feel good. If I wasn't married, I might take you up on dinner and drinks. Notice the drinks was plural, too! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you still golfing? I remember you said you liked to golf. The closest I've come to golfing was Put Put. I loved those crazy courses. (I did delete your comment - and I got your e-mail address, thanks).
Don't be a stranger! Stop by my profile anytime. I'll stop by yours too. :-)

How have you been? Played any golf lately? I am enjoying the cooler weather. It's a trip: I drive to work with the heat on, and I drive home with the air on.
Hope you have a wonderful night. So glad tomorrow is Thur.! We are getting (for those of us who work) so close to Friday! Hee hee! Nothing against those who don't work. It's just that those of us who do work a M-F job, are much more aware that Friday is coming. :-)

The election? I will be very surprised if Obama isn't our next president, and while my one little vote isn't all that important, he still isn't getting it. What's your opinion?

Glad your golf went well. My idea of "fun" would be......going to a matinee. (The regular movies are too expensive). I like doing things that are non physical! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm lazy. Hee hee!
Hope you have a wonderful Friday. I hate getting up at 5:45 every morning. Well, M-F. I keep playing the lottery, hoping I'll hit that ____________ jackpot! So far, no luck. :-/
Have a good night.

Played any golf this week? You are SO lucky that you don't have to work. Yes, I know I've said that before to you, but it's true: You are lucky! No boss, no time clocks, no schedule, no alarms in the morning.......I better stop. I'm depressing myself. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm glad tomorrow is Thur., because that means that Fri. is just around the corner and we (or is it us) working folks always appreciate Fridays! Hmmmmmmm. I think it would be, we working folks and not us. We appreciate Fridays sounds better than us appreciate Fridays. Yes, if you're thinking I'm officially weird or crazy, you're right! I just like to try to write, like I have a little sense! :-)
Hope you have a wonderful evening!
