Well, why not try again, right? I've started a blog or two, and let them slip away to the great blog limbo. So here I am- er, virtually- trying again.
Life is super good right now. My wife and I are expecting our second child, I'm enjoying my work, and I have recently broken my toe. YES- life is so good even a broken toe is sweet!
I'll post more later.

In response to "I love a good challenge" here are principles that, if heeded, can make a difference in our lives.
These five principles are:
1. Make every keystroke count. If you are a student, spend your time typing assignments that lead to assignment completion rather than blog along in life accomplishing nothing.
2. Avoid misdirection. Sometimes we put our energy into things that have little or no bearing. We can spend hours surfing the Internet. Such mindless activity can divert us from what we should be doing. This is one of the great hazards of online education.
3. Focus on what matters. We have a set quanity of energy given to us in life. How we spend that energy will determine whether we succeed or fail. For example, if a student spends his or her time on the tasks that lead toward completion of his or her courses, he or she will graduate. Those who spend valuable time on studying content that does not contribute to completing their courses will fail and not graduate. This is a true principle.
4. Align actions with the higher order. All people have a higher order of priorities - whether they are explicit or tacit (known or unknown). Not all priorities are of the same order. We may follow interests that are not aligned with higher order priorities. By failing to recognize these higher order priorities and aligning our actions to accomplish them, we become ineffective and compromised. Failure in life is waiting at the door.
5. Make time work for you. Time works for those who focus their energies in completing higher order priorities. By completing these higher order priorities we are essentially qualify ourselves for higher order opportunities. We we procrastinate our time on interests that are of a lower order, we find ourselves unprepared for the higher order opportunities that will present themselves in the future. If our focus has been on the higher order when we will qualify for the higher order opportunity. It will be evidence that we used our time appropriately because most of those higher opportunities present themselves at the right moment.
Most people don't understand this principle and spend their time in frivolous activity. Though they may have raw talent, the do not have the discipline to secure training to use that talent. Instead, they waste their time on activities that fail to develop it.
This blog is representative of the lower order and illustrates how best to pursue the lower order - It is not the wRight of way that leads to higher order success.
Thanks Dad. As an official representative of the lower order, I thank you.
I'm unclear though- do you want me to change the name of my blog?
