Lunch Time Econ Talk 1.1

My stomach is growling, the clock on the wall says twelve o’clock, and I am the only one in the office… It must be lunch time, and time for another rendition of my lunch time econ talk. Topic of discussion: Bonuses. If you are anyone that watches the news, and by anyone I mean you, this topic most blatantly is in reference to the AIG drama and there decision to hand out our tax dollars to managers as bonuses.

Lunch hour econ talk

The title of this blog itself may scare or bring out not the best feelings about the economy, but inevitably talking about rough or tough subjects can bring light into the darkest corners. Sayings have been thrown around such as, “It’s going to get worse before it gets better,” or “We haven’t even hit rock bottom yet.” These of coarse are issues that should be addressed but why encourage more negativity than already being displayed on the Wall Street highlight boards running across the bottom of the TV.

Bradford News - Spring 2010

Spring 2010 - Big News!


"What did you do during the spring of 2010?" For the Bradfords, the answer is "Whoa! A lot!"


I completed my doctorate. My dissertation defense took place on the 26th of April. Some of my closest friends and work mates attended, as well as Ann. I was full of nerves and did my best to mask it. An hour and 20 minutes of presentation, question and answers, private deliberation, and it was over. Months of solid work, over just like that! Glad it is done is all I have to say. The experience is special, and I'm grateful for the friendships that managed to survive the intense time.

Holiday Season 2008!

Happy Holidays! December 2008


The wonderful holiday season! The air gets crisp and cold (...but not in Florida - we had 65f / 18c to 85f / 29c...), snow falls (in pictures of other places, just not here...), and families gather (...the closest one to us only had to travel 865 mi / 1393 km, the other had to travel 2159 mi / 3475 km...) to share each other's company and eat a lot of good food.
