Interesting Web Site

First and foremost, I am not claiming what that image says. In fact, I had some trepidation about doing this post, but after the initial shock (and laugh) its a serious site. Recently, on the open source WordPress forum plugin that I help develop, we had a support request from a site called I Married […]

It’s Been A Heavy Monsoon

This year has been a heavy rain monsoon season. In fact, the wild field grass on our property has been growing wild the last couple of months. We usually have to cut the grass (if you can call it that) on our property maybe 3 or 4 times a year. We usually have to cut […]

Sleep Deprivation

I have mentioned this before, but I have been thoroughly enjoying the Olympics this year. The past couple of Olympiads, I have had a hard time getting interested. A large part has been the crappy coverage. This year, there is more sports and less human interest stories and fluff. Unfortunately, this Olympics has also been […]

Sean’s Birthday

This week is Sean’s birthday. The young boy will be turning 12. Having kids birthdays in the middle of the week are always rough, especially given our hectic schedule. We always have to decide whether to celebrate it the weekend before or the weekend after. Well, we sort of punted this year and kind of […]

Summer Olympics

Thus far, its been an exciting Summer Olympics! Of course, too much gymnastics for me, but the swimming and volleyball has been exciting. Sean and I have even enjoyed watching the badminton. The track and field has started now too. While I don’t care too much for the “field” part, I do enjoy the sprint […]

Lions Fan Site

With the upcoming NFL season, I need to make a decision about my Detroit Lions fan site. I really like the site and really like talking about my favorite NFL team, the Detroit Lions. Unfortunately, as one can see by looking at the site, I haven’t made a post since late June. This isn’t from […]

PowerPoint Info Overload

Yesterday was the deadline for the kids to complete their summer reports on Barcelona, Malaga, Madeira, the Canary Islands, St. Maarten and San Juan. Those are all the destinations we’ll be visiting on our upcoming Trans-Atlantic Cruise. Since the kids will be missing two weeks of school for the trip, I required them to complete […]

Madden 2009

Well, it’s that time of year again. Time when the new football videogames for the year come out. Or rather football (singular) videogame comes out. Yes, that’s the Madden franchise and yes I am anything but a Madden fan. I long for the days of the old NFL 2K series. They completely beat the tar […]

Air Travel Just Ain’t What It Used To Be

Another short business trip looms next week. That means more aggravating air travel. I remember the days when travel on the airlines was fun and exciting – and I don’t mean when I was a kid. It was like a little getaway from reality. The airline industry was service oriented back then and they still […]

Yes, It’s Another “Where’s Mr Papa?”

Where in the heck did the last week go? It was nothing but a blur. That’s good in some respects and bad in others. As to my website updates, it was bad. Sorry for the lack of updates over the last week. A pop up business trip opportunity became available for next week and it […]
