COVID-19 – Third Update – How things change

As time advances we as human beings forget what life was like for our ancestors. Yes, we can read the history books and watch old movies but we never really understand all the differences between the past and our current environment. We may live on the same planet but the worlds of each generation are…… Continue reading COVID-19 – Third Update – How things change

Data Catastrophe Close Call

I almost had a data catastrophe last week which is worthy of its own post. It all comes down to not being able to remember a password and this is the second time this year I’ve almost had a catastrophe like this. The first time was when I woke up in the middle of the…… Continue reading Data Catastrophe Close Call

Easter Sunday 2020

It is 7:01 AM on Easter Sunday 2020. As usual on days without school my son woke up early and asked if he could go play games. Since he has woken me up I often have to choice but to get up as well since it can be difficult to go back to sleep. I…… Continue reading Easter Sunday 2020

I wanted to get this post in because we are in the middle of virus hysteria and it will be interesting to read my thoughts many years from now. The future is always uncertain and hindsight is always 20/20. This is so…… Continue reading COVID-19 – Coronavirus

My Versace Belt

I’ve worn the same belt for over 20 years. In October 2019, I finally decided that the wear on it was enough and it was time to consider buying a new belt. This was no easy decision as I am fascinated with time and highly value items that are sentimental, things that are part of…… Continue reading My Versace Belt

Super Tuesday 2020

It is super Tuesday across the country in an election which for the first time in my life will have major ramifications. And you know what? For the first time in over a decade I did not vote. As I’ve mentioned in previous posts my whole mindset about being an American has changed. I went…… Continue reading Super Tuesday 2020
