Detroit Science Center


I went on a field trip with Sean to the Detroit Science Center, and I have to tell you it is a very cool place! Almost everything is hands on. They also had some presentations that were both educational and entertaining (especially when adults were the victims). The center has a planetarium and I have to say that was my favorite! I've always loved them. They also have an IMAX theater, unfortunately we didn't get to see that show.
Impression 5 in Lansing is still better for very young children, but I would highly recommend this for older kids, especially if they have a keen interest in science.

These pictures are of a robotic arm playing chess... way cool!

She's right!

Becky got it! I am the third one from the left.

My mom and dad are celebrating their 50 wedding anniversary June 6th. My youngest brother is putting together a slide show and came across this picture. From left to right: my brother Bill, my brother Brian, me!, and a friend Lorie. Talk about a small world, this same Lorie started working for the same company I do about a year ago. She had no idea I worked there, and I had no idea she had applied!

Words to live by

Two Wolves

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two "wolves" inside us all.

One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence,empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.

"The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

This is so sweet...
