Teaching My Kiddo To Love WordPress
My kid has wanted to build a website of his own for so long. He’s now 9 and today we started. He’s picking it up really quickly. I’m a proud daddy. More to come.

Remembering September 11… 20 Years Ago Today
I was going to write my thoughts down in my private journal, but I realized I wanted to share my thoughts publicly. I remember 9/11/01 like it was yesterday. I, like many, can photo-realistically replay the day over and over like a movie in my head. I can’t believe it’s been 20 years. It was…

Vacation Is Much Needed In Any Entrepreneurial Journey
I managed to take a family vacation with my wife’s family for 7 days. It’s going well. But just because I’m on vacation, doesn’t mean works stops. I’m very fortunate that I have a teammate that can pick up the slack while I take a break. It’s important to keep mental health in mind. There…

On The Other Side… Of The Podcast
Recently I’ve been a guest on other podcasts and it’s been a lot of fun. It’s always weird for me to be the interviewee versus the interviewer. That goes back to the time when I was a journalist. I never like to be the subject of an interview. But I know I need to get…

WordFest 2021 Part Deux
To this moment in time, I still can’t believe the team over at Big Orange Heart did the second Wordfest in 6 months. The first one was in January and was excellent. The other one was on Friday (July 23rd) and was even better. I was glad that Goldstein Media was able to be a…

Vermont State Of Mind
I love Vermont. The beauty is unmatched and it’s so relaxing even if I’m working on stuff for the agency. My parents have house at a top of the mountain in Weston, VT. It’s so peaceful and relaxing even with a crazy 8 year old. This trip, albeit short, is a great reminder that after…

I Got Up Early
Today I got up early. I’m seriously shocked that I did. 5:25 am and I’m not writing at 5:40 am. I have to admit that I would have been still sleeping if my 40-year-old bladder didn’t wake me, but still, the fact that I stayed up and decided to come down and write — I’m…

World Opening Up
As the world opens up (well at least here in the States), I wonder how people are coping with the change after ~15 months of being in some semblance of lockdown. I’m enjoying my time outside the “bunker.” But I’m still cautious about who I meet with. This might be because my 8-year-old son isn’t…

WordFest 2021
WordFest Live, run by A Big Orange Heart, is back for its second time! The inaugural WordFest Live was only in January. It was a total success that they wanted to do another one. WordFest Live is a 24 hour WordPress virtual conference to help promote the open-source operating system and mental health in the…

Not Sure What To Title This
That’s always a great way to start a blog post. 🤣 This past weekend as you can see from my last post, was a tough one. Johnny’s death hit me harder than I thought it would. 😥 He’s my age and has young kids. I guess that played a part in how down in the…
