Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
Sunday was Father’s Day, and our daughter Faith took me to breakfast and then to Old Sturbridge Village. OSV was having a Father’s Day event – Baseball, Beer and BBQ – which seemed interesting. Mainly, it was a chance to spend some time together and see some of the exhibits that aren’t open when we... Continue Reading →
Goodbye to the little monkey and welcome the long pier. It's time to turn over a new badge. As I mentioned over at the bar on Saturday I am working on the last segment of the garage facelift I started last year. Since the “garage” is really the merger between a relatively large garage and... Continue Reading →
The other day, Jill over at J-Dubs Grin and Bear It, offered a plea of a post, complaining about having to pack for a business trip. I can’t say that I was much help.

Monday night, I had dinner with an old friend. More than a friend, he has been a mentor to me and a supporter as I entered an area of Information Management, I had never considered part of my responsibility. Prior to meeting Ed, I had spent my career dealing with data – input screens to... Continue Reading →
So said coworker Brian Carvell. Yes, I named him. I didn’t use the somewhat anonymous “coworker whose sense of humor is so bizarre that you laugh until you realize you shouldn’t be laughing.” Of course, that would have only been anonymous in the world outside our office. Inside, everyone would say, “oh, he means Brian.”... Continue Reading →
I had two reasons for spreading my WordPress-issues update across two blog posts. First, the issues seem to overlap, but they really don’t – not seeing the ‘Like’ button has nothing to do with the editor the post was created in – Guttenberg is off the hook for that. Second, my experience dealing with the... Continue Reading →
