A very good friend helped show me that this week and I was to thank her for her friendship and leadership. When life gets you down…retaliation is no way of handing the problem.

TommyLog – When Sexual Predators Hit Home
Posted By tommytrc On Wednesday, May 18th 2011 In TommyLog Tags: Adolescence, empty, family, home, kids, love, pain, parents, Sexual assault, Sexual predator, tommytrcThis is one of the hardest tommylog’s I have had to do in a long time… if not ever. The tommytrc family is dealing with a sexual predator that has infiltrated the family. I feel so lost, I feel so empty and I feel so hurt!! I know this issue will come as a complete shock to those who are watching… The Clifford family really needs your thoughts and prayers. I’m not here to point fingers and say who … the court system will take care of that for me… but I’m just stunned. As a father I feel so helpless. To know me is to know my children. I can’t go a moment w/o glowing about them. I take my fatherhood so serious and when this happens, its personal!

Posted By tommytrc On Monday, May 2nd 2011 In TommyLog Tags: Al-Qaida, Barack Obama, New York City, Osama Bin Laden, Social media, Terrorism, twitter, United StatesWhat were you doing when you heard the news of the death of Osama Bin Laden? I was on the couch watching DVR‘d shows when I saw the The POTUS was having an emergency press conference come across my twitter feed! WOW!!. I immediately tuned to the cable news shows to see what was happening. While they were trying to make sense of it all..across my twitter stream came UNCONFIRMED: BIN LADEN DEAD! HOLY COW!!! The scoop was on twitter and not the news channels.
Where were you on 9/11 when you heard the news of the terrorist attacks? I’ll never forget that day as I’ll never forget where I was last night, May 1st 2011 when I heard the news…
