Jobs Bill Posted September 7, 2010 by Troy Robertson

Jeez family. Will the Republicans ever be happy with anything that President Obama is trying to do? I can't find anything wrong with trying to create more jobs!

Family Reunion Posted June 23, 2010 by Troy Robertson

Oh Touch Family – it’s on like popcorn!! Summer is officially here and the 4^th of July is at hand! It is time for fireworks and Family Reunions!

Now it is my self-appointed task to give you as much help with organizing your Family Reunion as I possibly can. So I’ve got a few tips for you;

1). Make sure that you have a boat-load of tee shirts with the family logo on it ready to distribute.

2). You must have a “Unifying Theme”.

The theme should be fun yet meaningful. For instance, "A Tradition of Hard Work" would highlight the work that your ancestors did to bring the family to this point. "Preparing for the Next Successful 100 Years" would be another evocative theme to give everyone hope for the future. Place this message on your T-shirts and other items.

3). Take time out for a History Lesson.

The kids at the reunion (and even some adults) might not know much about the heritage and history of the family. This is the perfect opportunity to research your family history and present it to the family as a whole. Put together a family tree and use the services at Genealogy.com or Ancestry.com to dig deeper. Talk about how the family migrated or immigrated to the area where most members are located now. Compile a narrated video or PowerPoint slide show to be presented to the family during a special hour of the reunion.

Now go out, have a great time and eat a lot of bar-b-que and chicken wings!!

God Bless! – T-Robb

K-Central Posted June 1, 2010 by Troy Robertson

My my my! Here we go again. President Obama is coming to town on June 7^th and I am still hearing about people that are upset because they won’t be able to get tickets! People, GET OVER IT!!!!

The graduates of Kalamazoo Central did all of the work required to win the ‘Race to the Top’ challenge. They were the ones that came up with the creative ideas that were used in the video that won the competition. K-Central students were the ones that “raised the bar” if you will, of their high school’s educational standards. They have accomplished something wonderful not only for their high school and for the Kalamazoo Public School System but they have also accomplished something wonderful for the entire city of Kalamazoo.

Truth be told, I can’t remember a thing about my high school graduation but you had better well believe that K-Central graduates will remember this commencement exercise for many years to come.

The bottom line is that this is for the children. They have earned their day in the sun. Please let them enjoy it and stop hating!

Go Maroon Giants!!

Gas Guzzler Posted April 15, 2010 by Troy Robertson

A friend of mine told me that he had purchased $20.00 worth of gas using his credit card at the pump and low and behold, his account was debited $100.00. I had a hard time believing him until I saw this video. Check it out - and buyers beware.

Stand By Me Posted March 1, 2010 by Troy Robertson

Stand By Me was released by Ben E King back in 1962 and it has not lost any of its' appeal. Check out this exceptional video (P.S. Thanks Buddy).

Earth Song Posted February 5, 2010 by Troy Robertson

As many times, as I have heard Michael Jackson’s “Earth Song” I must admit that I truly listened to it for the first time on Jan 31st, 2010 during the Grammy’s 3D tribute to Michael Jackson. It is an inspirational piece of music. Enjoy – God Bless you Mike!
