Sometimes to get some work done I have to go somewhere where there are distractions. It does make any sense to me… all I know is that it works.

Well it’s been a wild ride but here I am on the eve of growing up and I am a little saddened, yet, relieved that I made it.

I’m not ready for fiber and prune juice yet but I am more conscience about my health than before. No more Twinkie eating contests for me!

My 20’s were packed with learning experiences. 4 years of the Marine Corp and 4 years of college with a lot jobs in between taught me a lot about the real world.

Hopefully I can use some of these experiences to make better decisions in my personal life and on the job.

Forbes recently published an article about Berea College, my alma matar.  They made #1 on the list of  America’s Best College Buys.  It makes me proud to know that even in these tough economic times Berea College is still doing what it does best; giving promising students a top-level education for free.

The quality score is calculated by summing each school’s score with respect to Who’s Who in America citations, salary data from PayScale.com, course evaluations from RateMyProfessor.com, the receipt of student and faculty nationally competitive awards, and the graduation rate variables used in the Best College rankings.

The nights are getting cooler and there is the slightest suggestion that the the leaves are wanting to turning yellow. Soon the woods will be filled with those who want to catch the last days of the season before we all snuggle up to a good book for the winter.
