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’
The New Holland Solution
Hi all! Not Jeff here. You can call me Krisann, or Not-Jeff. Whatever works. Thanks so much for joining me for this week's guest post while our pal is off on vacation adventures. Doesn't a vacation sound marvelous? Let's all take a moment to be angry with Jeff together, for happening to be on vacation … Continue reading The New Holland Solution
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
Time & Recap
I had to go over to my parent's house the other day. No one else was home, but they had asked if I would stop by and take care of some "technical support" items that had come up in the last couple of weeks. While I was there I experienced a very surreal moment; looking out … Continue reading Time & Recap

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
Sick and Tired
I felt it starting Wednesday night. Thursday I woke up with a gravely voice and an overwhelming sense of...meh. By the time I got off of work on Thursday I felt completely wasted and wrecked. Friday I woke up feeling even worse. I ended up calling out and spending the day watching Top Gear firmly planted on … Continue reading Sick and Tired
Is 2016 over yet?
Did you know that 2016 is being forecast to be the longest year in recent history? Scientists are now speculating that 2016 will last up to three years in length due to formerly unsuspecting forces such as vitriol, bloviating, and even some wailing and gnashing of teeth. 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
