Nesser's Nonsense: November 2012
http://nessersnonsense.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 14, 2012. Ok there is at least on retailer that I support. This notion that we should be celebrating Christmas in September is infuriating to me. We can't get past one holiday before we're not just 1 but 2 holidays ahead at the retail outlets. Easter candy will be out before you know it. My wife hates walking into Walmart with me when they put the Christmas rows up before Halloween. I want to go down each row knocking down every item on the shelves. So now we have.nope, not even t...

Nesser's Nonsense: June 2012
http://nessersnonsense.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 3, 2012. As many of you know I'm pretty active in the scouting program for Gonzales and even for our district (south of Austin, Tx). One of the things I try to stress time and time again to our boys is that scouting is not about the Monday meetings and going camping once a month, it's about a way we live. A Scout is trustworthy. Loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent. So now I go back up to my list of 12 things. Now I cherish th...

Nesser's Nonsense: February 2013
http://nessersnonsense.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 16, 2013. I've thought a lot about aging this week. I'm not sure if Pope Benedicts retirement was part of that, or if it's my impending birthday or what it was, but whatever it was a thought popped into my head that was almost scary to me. On my birthday I will be the same age my father was when I got married the first time (at the age of 29). But now I have to start being the same age my father was when I was an adult? Come on now that can't be right! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Follo...

Nesser's Nonsense: Zimmerman/Martin - The System - Prejudice and Responsibility
http://nessersnonsense.blogspot.com/2013/07/zimmermanmartin-system-prejudice-and.html
Friday, July 26, 2013. Zimmerman/Martin - The System - Prejudice and Responsibility. Is the system perfect? But is the best system known to man today? I heard quotes of Zimmerman just needed to go to jail without a trial. Has the Un-Patriot Act not taught you anything? Until someone comes up with a better system I will defend the system we have to my death. Why have we allowed newspapers and TV to report tabloid style news as mainstream news, and accept it? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a head...Your emot...

Nesser's Nonsense: Change
http://nessersnonsense.blogspot.com/2013/04/change.html
Tuesday, April 23, 2013. So for the 3rd time in my life I'm at the head of an organization as major change is coming about. Back 20 years ago I was an officer at the Eagle Lodge in San Antonio voted on and rejected, then later voted on and accepted the first black man in our lodge. After over 17000 emails, 10s of thousands of surveys filled out by scouters, parents, and volunteers, and general discussions with just scouters (no 3rd party organizations), the scouts have decided to amend part of their memb...

Nesser's Nonsense: Veterans Day 2012
http://nessersnonsense.blogspot.com/2012/11/veterans-day-2012.html
Sunday, November 11, 2012. This has not been an easy weekend for me. It's been Veterans Day 2012 weekend. I've attended 3 events with the Boy Scouts for Veterans Day. For those who don't know it's the 50th anniversary of the start of the Vietnam War this year. But that's not what has been so tough on me. Recently the WWII museum in New Orleans had a display of my grandfathers maritime goods from his time in service and travels around the world. The article is here. Capt William F. Nesser.

Nesser's Nonsense: November 2013
http://nessersnonsense.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 10, 2013. I am a veteran. I state that not in looking for reward or praise, but as a statement of fact. I didn’t join the Army in 1983 for either. Nor did my time in service make me a hero. I definitely didn’t join the Army to become a hero to anyone. To be honest it was almost 10 years after I got out of the Army that I ever even went to a Veterans Day celebration, and even then it was only because my son asked me to attend one at school. I think I am in the majority of veterans. My con...
