I might vaguely remember today’s feature.   On this date in 1998, Senator John Glenn returned to space aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery.  He became the oldest man to go into space.  He was the first man to orbit the earth and the second man in space.  And then he returned to space.  Amazing!   May I be that active when I […]

So do you ever have the dilemma I do–what do I do with all my pictures?  It can be overwhelming.  If you have some kind of digital camera (or smartphone or tablet), you probably have an overabundance of pictures.  And if you’re like me, they sit around on your computer, or facebook, or on some other storage device. Let me […]

arbitrate: It’s one year later. And everything has changed. Remember The Second Chance Institute (SCI). Earth’s benevolent non-profit by day, Thera’s totalitarian regime by night. They’ve stepped up their game on Earth and on Thera—infiltrating political parties, preying on the downtrodden, and planning offensive maneuvers. The SCI’s abuse of their charter leads to Arbiter oversight and bitter consequences. Remember Kira […]

I am pleased to report that today’s feature is open for business again since the government is no longer shut down.  On this date in 1886, President Grover Cleveland dedicated the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor.  I had the privilege of visiting and going inside of this amazing structure back in May of 1992.  I find it interesting […]
