Angela and I will be off early in the morning to spend a nice three day weekend exploring Baltimore. It should be fun, seems like there’s some neat stuff to do there, and most of all, it will just be nice to spend some time with my wife! We’ve both been so busy and preoccupied that it’s been a long time since we just enjoyed each others company without any outside distractions. I’m looking forward to catching up on “us” time!
Hope you all have a good weekend!
I’m finding one of the unexpected challenges of my new job is the loss of social interaction. When I worked at the helpdesk, interacting with people and keeping in touch with the folks I considered my friends, was easy. Just as part of the job I’d have to talk to them on a regular basis,…
Pin You should not feel sorry for me. This post isn’t about me. As I said, I have a condition that millions of people deal with every day. I’ll do the same. It’s about the reality that people around us are living with things that require efforts that we don’t understand. Just showing up for life every day requires effort and dedication from everyone you know. The amount of effort and challenges are different, and they are not distributed equally.

Experience is a hard teacher. We all can learn the lessons from those who’ve lived it.Â

Then when it came back there was a problem with CPanel that wouldn’t let me login or FTP or anything. Then everything was…
This probably happens every year, but this year I really started noticing it. I started feeling anti-social, grumpy, just plain out of it. I think a large part of that is winter. When it gets as cold and snowy as it has been around here lately, my life consists of going to work, and then…
Last weekend was not only a long holiday weekend, but it was also my birthday! Our newest tradition when my birthday falls on a long weekend is to take a few days and go away in order to get away from everything. Last weekend was no different, as we drove up to Cleveland to spend…
