about hokie 94

I am a retired school administrator.   I obtained my doctorate in school administration from Virginia Tech in 94.   Blood, sweat, tears, and divorce.  But, it was worth it all.  GO HOKIES!

I truly believe that if we had more love in this world; then, we could do great things for all people.  I have read books and articles about most of the greatest philosophers of all-time during my college and university days.  I still read about them today. These philosophers, and their thoughts have something to say about love, living, forgiving, health, wealth, friendship, nurturing, sin, and how this world will live and die. 

The stuff that they have written is so true today.  Just look at the state our our Country and the World today; my friends.

There are too many people today that spend too much time concentrating about materialistic things.  We are trying to have too much without teaching values of the younger generation.  

Just work on trying to have better health and more friends.  If you have a child; then raise the child.  Don't expect somone else or the schools to do your job.

It doesn't take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does take a parent to stand up to the kid; and smack their rear when necessary, and learn to say NO!!!!

I'm a music lover.  Music makes me feel good, sad, and it brings me to the past and sometimes makes me humble.  It affects my mood.  It makes me remember people in my life; both past and present.  Music is the greatest language of the world.  

VOTE.  If you don't vote, then you have no right to criticize anything pertaining to the democratic process. 

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH  LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

I now reside in Moore County, NC.  A great place to live.

Have a safe and happy 4th!

Hey,glad to hear you are better some what.Still praying for you. Thank you for wanting to elect me.That is so nice and sweet of you. God bless you.

Hokie, if you check out GOLO home page or go to Angela (the golo editor) profile they both have blogs about Golo having a get togeather tommorrow at Starbucks on Six Forks Rd in Raleigh. I believe between 12 and 2pm. I hope you can make it, if not hopefully next time. Take care my friend. Sorry so late responding today is Hubby and my anniversary so we went out to dinner and by the time we got back and got the kids baths and put to bed my evening is gone...LOL. Be blessed my friend.

Well, thanks, Hokie, that's a very nice thing to say. Hope your week is off to great start.

Hey Hokie, I was in the tobacco field at 4 and never got out until last year at 46..... I built automatic tobacco harvesters for 23 years..... I assembled another brand when I was 17 --- I worked for the place all day and they paid me --- maybe $2.15 or $2.25 an hour. ---- We had a hot year in tobacco sales and 4 guys were contracted at night to assemble the machines. The company paid $50.00 a person per machine. We worked ourselves into an assembly line - and could assemble 2 between 6 pm and midnight...... Moral of the story is I would work for 8hrsfor that company for less than $20.00 a day and work from 6pm until midnight and make $100.00 in 6 hours...... I was a hammerhead - and didn't know how to do anything but work - kinda "Jethro" on the Hillbillies - "One of these days I am gonna have a long talk with that boy"...... Shine is laughing 100 times at his self ------- Have a great day my friend.

My Friend, I have missed you around. I am glad all is well with you. I know you probably won't be able to attend the GOLO meet and greet Tuesday, but know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Be well my friend, and continue to be blessed!

Hey,glad you are better even though you have a littlee feather to go sorry to hear that.Will be keeping you in my prayers.Have a good week ahead.Take care and may God bless you.

Hey there Hokie, We had a couple of days of smoke - and are 75 miles away - doesn't seem that far there are just not that many roads that go that way LOL !!!! My girlfriend - is bringing her kids this weekend...... 2 boys ( 12 and 14 ) and a girl (17). Janellelle ( the girl ) may not be here - but me and the guys have a good time. I live out in the country and I let everyone take rounds on driving - My 12 year old bud can drive better than 90% of the people you ride around everyday...... He does it and stays on my heels every minute I am going somewhere. I don't let him drive except where there is a "very" limited amount of traffic - but after all - I grew up in a different era - I had a car when I was 13...... but started driving and flying before I started to school.... LOL !!!!!

Good Morning,Iam sorry to hear you hae been or are sick i did not know this.Hope you are better or better yet that you are over this.If you don't mind me asking,what are you having physical thearpy fore? Sayyou like to play golf,You and my brother in law would get a long great he eats and breaths golf lol.I WILL BE PRAYING FOR YOU.

Good morning! Hope you are doing well!

Thank you for the compliment on the house. We are very proud of what we've been able to do. Looking back, I think we were a tad impulsive, but nothing ventured, nothing gained as they say!

Hope you have a wonderful July 4th! We're looking to take some days off and spend them at Lake Gaston. Ahh.. no phones, no tv, just swimming, fishing, skiing and napping in the hammock under the tree! Can't get much better than that!
