I'm Not Done Yet: February 2015

http://iamnotdoneyet.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

I'm Not Done Yet. Friday, February 27, 2015. Minnesota 96 — Michigan State 90! I have written about my affinity for my alma mater's Men's Basketball. Team on occasion on this blog before, most notably when they won the NIT tournament last winter. That was a fun five-game run to a national championship in the second best tournament in the annual rite of college basketball's March Madness. Actually, I do understand and believe the three point shot should go the way of the dinosaur, but that is never going ...

I'm Not Done Yet: December 2014

http://iamnotdoneyet.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

I'm Not Done Yet. Tuesday, December 30, 2014. My Top 10 Photos for 2014. It is that time of year again when everyone talks about their Top 10 of the year. I want to post my 10 favorite photographs of 2014. There are many to choose from and they come from different places. Several have already been posted on this blog, others come from friends who have sent me old photographs from days gone by and others come from my Facebook page. Suffice it to say they come from a variety of sources. Notice my uncle Ter...

I'm Not Done Yet: On Monday I Chatted With Tuesday

http://iamnotdoneyet.blogspot.com/2015/05/on-monday-i-chatted-with-tuesday.html

I'm Not Done Yet. Friday, May 15, 2015. On Monday I Chatted With Tuesday. I had an interesting experience on Monday with my Facebook friend, Di Niven who lives in Invercargill, New Zealand. Invercargill is a small city of about fifty thousand people and is one of the southernmost communities in the world. We chatted back and forth over a period of a couple hours and at one point I asked her if she was getting tired because it was 6:50 PM here and it must be getting late there. We had carried on a brief f...

I'm Not Done Yet: October 2014

http://iamnotdoneyet.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

I'm Not Done Yet. Thursday, October 30, 2014. I did something last night I do not usually do! That's right, I missed game seven of the World Series! Instead, I went to a play with my cousin, Victoria Patrick. The Mixed Blood Theatre started a play entitled COLOSSAL, and guess what it was about? Football, imagine that? Victoria invited me to see the premier of the play about a young, college senior who breaks his neck playing football! You can start to see the similarities already. The play has two actors...

I'm Not Done Yet. Saturday, May 30, 2015. Is Intelligent Conversation Dead? I put a post up on my Facebook page the other day and I received several comments telling me they love to engage in intelligent conversation! One friend, Deborah Roberts posted, "I totally rock on a stimulating convo. I find it completely absorbing to find a conversationalist who keeps my interest piqued and my brain engaged. Talk with me about my favorite things and we could go for days. …". Here is my post:. My contention is th...

I'm Not Done Yet: November 2014

http://iamnotdoneyet.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

I'm Not Done Yet. Sunday, November 30, 2014. Is Another Canal Necessary? I have always contended I never know where my inspiration will come for my next post. This is another classic example! I saw an article on Smithsonian.com about building a new canal connecting the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea across Nicaragua, and it struck my interest. Without going into a lot of the details, suffice it to say, it is a very controversial project that is scheduled to start next month! The thing that struck me ab...

I'm Not Done Yet: Milestones!

http://iamnotdoneyet.blogspot.com/2015/06/milestones.html

I'm Not Done Yet. Thursday, June 18, 2015. Everyone has milestones at some point in their life. We all have our first one when we are born. We all have only one birthday. It is only one birthday yet we celebrate it every year. Some of us get to celebrate it more often than others. Many of you have had milestones like graduating from high school, college, graduate school, marriages, and some of you know what it is like to have milestones from your starter marriages! I would like to add an interesting side...

I'm Not Done Yet: Pacemaker Four Is Ticking Away!

http://iamnotdoneyet.blogspot.com/2015/04/pacemaker-four-is-ticking-away.html

I'm Not Done Yet. Sunday, April 19, 2015. Pacemaker Four Is Ticking Away! It is in my chest, and my fourth pacemaker is now keeping my lower heart block at a steady sixty beats per minute! Friday afternoon they took me to an operating room at Abbott Northwestern Hospital, shaved my chest and put in my brand-new, Boston Scientific pacemaker. I am wondering what will happen when I put this post on my Facebook page? Here is the x-ray:. Fbid=10155471865590154&set=a.122149590153.215452.795165153&t...Dr Melby ...

I'm Not Done Yet: How I Learned Racism

http://iamnotdoneyet.blogspot.com/2015/05/how-i-learned-racism.html

I'm Not Done Yet. Saturday, May 9, 2015. How I Learned Racism. I learned about racism at an early age in a Red and White World living on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation in north-central South Dakota when I was five, six, seven and shortly after my eighth birthday, we moved to Edgerton, Minnesota. I have been a gym rat since I was old enough to dribble a basketball because my father coached high school basketball until I was ten years old living in Edgerton.
