"Mind Hacks" interesting article

I have long been a fan of CNET and their affiliates. I ran across this article today and thought it was pretty interesting... got a lot on mind today and reading something like this, I can't help but put a little thought into how the human brain really works. I have lately been watching my biorythems also. Another interesting subject that intrigues me. Oh well, that's all for now . . .

Time keeps marching on

So today, like most recent days, the kids are off to school. Dad is getting ready for breakfast. I have a whole crap load of things to do today. What is really on my mind is the current weather trend. Cloudy, rainy, cold and blustery - typical fall weather for southern Michigan. I love this time of year because I always enjoyed going back to school. I have fond memories of football season. Going back to school and in the last few years, Salmon fishing. The nights are getting cold and off in the distance I can hear the low hum of the Salmon calling . . . there it goes again. Did ya hear it? Well hopefully I can get up north for some fishing. My brother and my nephew are ready and in need of a weekend retreat. Add my soon to be 15yr old son and we got a Salmon trip. My nephew is going through a really tough time. His girlfriend left him and took their 20 month old daughter to New York, NY where her mother lives. It is a really messsy situation that is affecting everybody around them. I have some very strong felling about the whole thing. I have scars from a similar situation with my sister and her kids. I saw the agonizing hell she went through for ten years and ended up dying befor her time and she passed away a very distressed person. I can't help but feel that because she lost her kids, her life was over long before she died. I guess that my deep down feeling are that even if two people can't work things out, they should have no right to ruin the other persons life by dangling the kids in front of their noses like the preverbial carrot.
I am trying to deal with it. I can't even imagine what my nephew is going thru.
Well thats all for now...
