Travelin’

I like traveling. The adventure of going to new places and finding new things is exciting. I love looking at architecture and statues and people. I just returned from a trip to Portland, Oregon, and had a wonderful time. I'm planning a post for Wednesday about the trip, but I wanted to share a few … Continue reading Travelin’

A Writer’s Predicament

The last few weeks have been fairly steady in the writing department for me.  I have been able to not only put out a regular post every Wednesday, but I have been able to post a quick blurb and recap every Sunday.  I wanted to try this kind of a format and see if it was … Continue reading A Writer’s Predicament

A letter to my son

My Dear Little Man, I remember the first time I heard your heartbeat.  Everyone says it will be amazing and incredible, a moment that you'll never forget.  And they were all right.  I still have the recording on my phone, and I play it sometimes.  I look at pictures of your mother while she was carrying … Continue reading A letter to my son

Rewind – Salmonella

This week is a post rewind.  I am working on a few other projects and prepping for a long-awaited and well-earned vacation with my family.  So this week, enjoy a story I wrote for a project called Flash Fiction Friday that my friend Krisann sponsored a couple of years back.  And speaking of Krisann, I … Continue reading Rewind – Salmonella

It's an election year here in the United … Continue reading Is 2016 over yet?

Life & Recap

It's been quite a week. Pitchers and catchers reported for Spring Trainig, which is always exciting. The weather has been insane, with temperatures in either the 80's or the 60's and some rain to boot!  My little family has been pretty sick, and my work load is in for some new challenges. It's always nice … Continue reading Life & Recap

Trip Planning

On Sunday I posted about our digital footprint and how we should protect our information (Do You Know Where Your Data Is?).  On Monday, a Federal magistrate handed down a verdict that Apple Inc. must create software that will allow the FBI access to a cell phone belonging to the San Bernardino shooter.  Apple's CEO, Tim … Continue reading Trip Planning

Do you know where your data is?

Who owns the data you generate?  That is a basic question that anyone that uses the internet, or an electronic device in gneral for that matter, should be asking themselves. When I snap a photo on my iPhone, use Instagram to edit the photo, then upload it to Twitter, who owns the photo?  Who can … Continue reading Do you know where your data is?
