Mrs. Enginerd - Nerd Whisperer
Mom had barely made it to Christmas but my grandmother hadn’t. Oh boy! My phone was blown up with messages of worry and urgency. The timing was brilliant and convenient, bare with me, assuming you believe grandma knew of the cancer and opted to avoid burying her firstborn. Between flight prices and obligations I decided […]
It’s hard to acknowledge you are gone. Another car accident claims the life of a good friend. Receiving the call about your precarious condition at the hospital had the medical engineer in me terrified because most people don’t come back from DAI trauma. You were most likely unaware of what was happening in your induced […]
Life plays out like a tragedy. In the end, we all die. The journey plays out like a novel, written by the hand of the indelible gods; the entropy of our lives resolved by eternal slumber. Those who remain alive, left behind by those they loved and have risen to the heavens, have to deal […]

Not […]
Walmart, Macy’s and Radio Shack suffered heavy profit loses in 2014 and 2015 forcing over 100 store closings each to brave the changing tide of the new retail economy. Articles suggest that customers are migrating to alternate means of product acquisition such as internet sales and cooperatives, procuring items directly from the source and cutting […]
In 2011, a good friend of mine recommended that I check out Randy’s book.

How can someone be so certain they will have the […]
