Spent the weekend with Angela’s family up in Port Clinton sans Internet access. It was kinda nice to have a couple of days to be completed untethered to the Internet, work, etc. Given that the coming week promises to be very, very busy, it was probably a needed break too!
This particular picture was taken from atop the Commodore Perry Memorial in Put in Bay, a short ferry ride from Port Clinton, OH.
Yes, I’m here at Gnomedex again this year. Having a pretty good time, although in groups like this I find myself being somewhat guarded, and my past definitely shows up large at times. It’s a bit weird having people come up and talk to you because they read one of your sites, or more, and…
Pin Recently, a friend on Facebook decided to ask us all to share one thing that happened this year that was a positive, to try and collect any and all good news in one place. It was a good idea, and as I thought about how I would respond to something like that, I thought of some of the good things that have happened this year. I’ve had some pretty nice successes at work.

I had another, related, thought today. The most important…
I’m posting this just so you all know I’m still here and things are still working. 🙂 We spent the last few days in Louisiana, a state which I am now determined just doesn’t like me, visiting with Angela’s grandfather. As any trip with your in-laws would be (or any trip with anyone is for…
I’ve been reading a book about networking as part of my attempt to find a new job. Last night I was trying to work on a few of the exercises concerning professional goals, values, etc. One of the exercises was to list 5 accomplishmnets that I am proud of. Ha! Little do they know me,…
I’ve had some incomplete thoughts about my family ever since my grandmother was in town this past weekend. She’s the last living grandparent I have, and she delivered a batch of old pictures to my mother when she came up for the visit, which were also interesting to see. (I’m planning on “borrowing” them from…
