Hitchhiker’s bLOG (Revisited) – 2021.08.16

This bLOG originally published 2020.08.18. It is so simple and yet profound. Its wisdom is incredibly timely. It is also one of several bLOGs that go after the cultural divisions we struggled with on top of the pandemic! The other day, Mrs. Flying Scotsman came into my office with a quote from some guy I […]

A Delivery from The Flying Scotsman (2021.08.14)

We have not heard from TFS because Mrs. TFS and he are enjoying new retirement together! They have been jet-setting in exotic places like… Nashville??? But he does have time to send me things that make me smile. Below is a mash-up between two shows that were on the air in the same timeframe. Star […]

Something to Think About – 2021.08.13

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

(You will find that a common theme of mine is frustration with this present culture that thinks that by erasing the past they can fix today’s problems. But if we erase the past, we might miss some amazing accomplishments!) Please don’t forget that there were good and smart people in our past! Originally Published 202.04.07 […]

A Delivery from The Flying Scotsman (Revisited) – 2021.08.09

Originally Published 2020.04.04 (This is one of my favorite Deliveries from TFS!) You would think “shelter in place” would be an introvert’s paradise. But even The Flying Scotsman is getting tired of it. I suspect Mrs. Flying Scotsman is even more tired of it! Anyway, TFS is not a big fan of 2020, and this […]

Hitchhiker’s bLOG (Supplemental) – 2021.08.07

Milestones The first time I met him was in the hallway outside of PC’s library at the end of Baby’s junior year. This gangly kid comes walking toward me wearing a New England Patriots t-shirt with hand extended. He greeted me with a hearty, “Dr. Sileo, it’s really good to meet you. (He had me […]
