HAVE YOU EVER BEEN SO EXCITED THAT…

by Troy Pattee on May 16th, 2012

Sometimes a person’s reaction seems disproportionate to the act or item being reacted to. This is the animal version of that. It reminds me of the time our sugar-obsessed 5-year old woke up before everyone else one Saturday morning. He got into the pantry and drank an entire 28-ounce bottle of Aunt Jemima pancake syrup [...]

HP TECHNOLOGY SUITE GIVEAWAY…

by Troy Pattee on May 15th, 2012

This is one of those times where it’s important to remember that it’s not all about winning. And to not kill the messenger. Of the approximately 1 million entries (I rounded up to the nearest million) there can be only one…winner (clever Highlander reference). And the winner is… …a very lucky person, indeed. The winner’s [...]

IN TO AFRICA: FIGHTING PNEUMONIA IN MALAWI

by Troy Pattee on March 5th, 2012

The other day I found myself in Malawi. You know, that tiny country in southeast Africa (don’t worry, I didn’t know either). I was there as part of a group with the  Global Coalition Against Child Pneumonia. Yes, you read that correctly–PNEUMONIA. Not exactly the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Africa, [...]

School Breaks–Are They Always So Painful?

by Troy Pattee on February 24th, 2012

I’ve always questioned the need for February Break.

Fifty years ago President John F. Kennedy presented a bold challenge before a joint session of Congress: Send a man to the moon by the end of the decade. While many derided this notion as either madness or merely a political ploy, some of the brightest minds of the nation focused their efforts, and in [...]

Children Lying to Parents–The Ugly Truth

by Troy Pattee on February 11th, 2012

Have you ever told a lie? Me either. My 10-year old has been playing around on his mom’s computer a bit while she’s away on a trip. I’ve got a pretty good kid filter on our computers, but I still jump into the room unexpectedly now and then just to keep him honest. So imagine [...]
