Mi vida es un bolsillo lleno de arco iris.
My life is a pocketful of rainbows.

So, here I am...
***This blog was Established 2004/2005***
And I am slowly reestablishing it.

I love English Lit! I have a fascination with puns, satire and tropes. I relish sharing the latest logic puzzle I've found. I advocate for education reform. I read Spanish much more fluently than I speak it. I know a lot of German. I dabble in SEVERAL languages .... including writing, history and knowledge of cultures. I am very interested in urban farming and self-sufficiency. Huge Douglas Adams, Roger Zelazny and Piers Anthony fan. I like reading Stephen King/Richard Bachman. I could spend hours with Terry Brooks and Shannara. T.S. Garp and I would get along famously. Avid Armchair Traveler ... especially Italy and Mongolia. Miicroadventures rock! I homeroast green coffee beans ... my fave are those from Chiapas, Mexico. I try new teas and those from Scotland make me smile. Friends and family are AWESOME!

I hope that something made you smile today!.

Patton for the Modern Mind

(tenative title)

My father was a TEC 5 in World War II, under Patton.

So, I would like to start a project on Patton's leadership skills, psychology and decision-making framed for our modern life.

* blog posts
* short vlogs of field trips (I do things like have lunch on top of tanks)
* maybe Instagram
* And hey I should get back on X/Twitter again ... Fail Whale for the win (if you know, you know)

Planned articles:
"Patton for Beginners"
"Patton's 5-Minute Decision Rule"
"How to Teach Patton to Teens" "Why the General Still Matters in 2026"
"What Modern Leaders Misunderstand About Patton"
"Patton vs. Procrastination: A Guide for Remote Workers" (get used to it, so many of us will be remote in the coming years)

I have to have a master list. :-)
-Master list of all the ways people made mistakes about Patton in movies.

Eventually vlog:
Trip to Patton Museum at Fort Knox

Historians of interest:
Nathan C. Jones
Kevin Hymel
Jon Mikdashek
Greg Fontenot
Jörg Muth
Carlos D'Este
Dennis Showalter
John C. McManus
