At the start of this month I did my Reflections on  2014.  January is usually a time for resolutions or goals.  Reading over my reflections post, listening to the Stuff I Learned Yesterday podcast, and being sick this weekend got me thinking about goals for the year. OK, let’s break this down a little.  Taking […] Read more

As an adult, it seems like the years just go by more quickly.  But 2014 flew by.  I will not say it was my hardest year, but it was a challenging one.  2014 saw my Dad recovering from his heart surgery (in late 2013).  Mom was diagnosed, had surgery and chemo for cancer.  It saw […] Read more

Well season 1 of Serial has come to a close.  I can’t share my conclusions in a tweet (or five), so I did this post.

This photo has been popping around social media lately and while it is funny, it proves  a point. Listen, my Father owns a store.  I understand the retail world is driven by sales.  I also understand Thanksgiving does not promote great sales of products.  I also understand that the Christmas season provides the bulk of […] Read more

  First off I must say that I LOVE the design of iOS 7.  The graphics and the animations feel fresh and clean, futuristic even.  I have an iPad 2 and an iPhone 4 (soon to be traded in for a 5S).  The iPhone feels faster and I’m enjoying iTunes Radio (the ’80 hit station […] Read more

  I had the pleasure of taking a 4 day cruise on the Disney Dream.  (Photos here!)  I went with the gspn.tv Community.  We had been planning for 2 years and the Lord allowed me to put money back from my Aunt’s estate to save for it.  This was my first cruise.  I was so […] Read more
