My Son Now Wants To Podcast!
I’m a very happy father. My 9 year-old son just started a blog and wants to learn more about WordPress. Now he’s intrigued about Podcasting. I’ve created a creator-monster. It’s really cute. We were listening to a podcast on the way to school this morning and he said, “Daddy, can I do a podcast?” To…

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…

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…

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…

I’m Mourning
A good friend’s husband just passed from brain cancer. He was around my age (~40). He left behind a wife, 3 young kids, and a wonderful dog. My heart aches for my friend and her kids. I just found out this morning. Her husband has been battling brain cancer for years. And has put up…

Minecraft… An Escape
I belong to a great community of techy-type people called Indy Hall. I’ve known about the community since 2010 and it’s been around since 2006. It’s one of the first co-working spots in the US if not the World. Since the Covid-19 pandemic started last year (2020), the community has been a great place for…

Our History… The Statues… Our Checkered Past
There’s been a lot of animosity surrounding statues lately. And in many cases rightfully so. Christopher Columbus statues across the country are coming down or being boxed up, in a case of Philadelphia. It is a time of reckoning about our past in this country. Symbols of oppression and hate need to come down. But…
