Sensu Lato: May 2010
http://ontrapranur.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Or"broadly speaking" Randy M. Ataide. Sunday, May 23, 2010. Those of you that know me well have some idea of my complicated views of the government.I am a "puzzled patriot". And know that the idealization of the USA as the noble and always in the right "good guys" that I received in my youth was somewhat shattered by the Vietnam War. My own spiritual journey no doubt shaped this as well. Where my daughter Rachel is a 1st grade teacher.there she is below with some of her students from Friday. And observed...

That prior to joining academia I worked for 25 years in agriculture.a great career and personally and professionally rewarding.but wow there is a lot of work that makes you feel old quickly! However, before I ever thought of starting my own company. my wife and I worked for three summers at Farmer’s Markets. He quality of produce sold in proportion to the price charged is grossly unbalanced&...

Or"broadly speaking" Randy M. Ataide. Saturday, October 31, 2009. Well, yippee kai yay little doggies! I just had the good fortune of spending five days in France. Mostly in Paris but 36 hours in Normandy as well).and once again had a wonderful time. Paris is all at once wonderful and horrific. The food, landscape and setting is the former and the traffic, signage and expense the latter.but I for one want to go on record and give you my view of our dear French friends. And here are just a few reasons why:.

Or"broadly speaking" Randy M. Ataide. Saturday, July 11, 2009. So here we are going out for pizza.after a fun day.and so we are walking down to the car. And Kathleen Atchley looks down at me as we exit the elevator.and notices something peculiar.illustrated above.so what does she see? She sees a dufus who has put on two different flip-flops to go out on the town. And sometimes that is really all you can say.and not much else. Never Bet The Farm was a great "read". And I will soon read it in its entirety&...

Or"broadly speaking" Randy M. Ataide. Sunday, August 8, 2010. So I guess that I don't have enough going on in my life.but a couple of months ago my wife and I started Portuguese lessons.

Pretty good, huh? So what I have learned so far? Well, in Portug...

Or"broadly speaking" Randy M. Ataide. Sunday, December 27, 2009. I got a Kindle! I got a Kindle! You know as a young pup I always wanted a special gift.watching it on the RCA on Saturday morning during Jonny Quest.was almost too much to bear as I dreamed of this plastic spring loaded very loud manifestation of American industrial might. There was a lot to like about Jonny Quest. Anyway. so I asked Santa for a Kindle this year. For the sixteen of you in the world who have not heard of the Kindle. If I nee...

Sensu Lato: March 2010
http://ontrapranur.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Or"broadly speaking" Randy M. Ataide. Monday, March 1, 2010. In 1977 me and about five Navy buddies went to see Star Wars.somewhere near where Fashion Valley in San Diego now sits.and it was quite an event. I remember that there was almost a party-like atmosphere as we waited outside.and when we left the theatre there was another huge line outside waiting to get in. with excitement and energy in the air. Anyway I had a similar experience yesterday.with the movie Avatar.and while I am not one to. So my re...

Or"broadly speaking" Randy M. Ataide. Saturday, February 27, 2010. Choices, Choices, Choices. Hmmmmwhat to do.on a rainy day in San Diego.can't go to the beach. So I guess I should do some writing. but about what? The Dems and GOP lovefest in front of the cameras? Nancy Pelosi's comment of the Health Care Bill creating 4 million new jobs? Some sobering trends for the global economy? Carly Simon finally revealing who is "so vain" in her 1973 megahit? Or any one of hundreds of other sites to read more.
