Simplify, simplify, simplify. I think this time around my motivation to simplify and focus inward has gained enough steam so that I can free myself of the countless distractions of the digital world. To start I’m off Facebook although I still have an RSS feed on my desktop with the notifications. I’m out of the…… Continue reading Journal Entry 11.23.2015
Sunrise over the Bay
I just came back from the ride to the Portola Expedition site and wanted to write a little about this morning. I woke up at 4:00 AM and saw the conditions were very good for a sunrise. The sun wouldn’t rise until 6:55 AM so I played a little Warcraft, did the dishes and then…… Continue reading Sunrise over the Bay
Journal Entry 11.20.2015
I have a few minutes to spare so thought I’d get a quick post in on random thoughts. I recently took a break from Facetime to do some Internet learning and have to say I’m enjoying myself.

Technology – Finding a balance
It is 8:53 pm; with two kids it creates another dimension in space-time which all parents must pass through that adds another four hours. In other words my clock reads 8:54 but for me it is more like 12:53 AM as I’m completely exhausted and well past my bedtime. But I was determined to have…… Continue reading Technology – Finding a balance
Halloween 2015
It is 4:55 AM – I get an extra hour of “my time” this morning thanks to the daylight savings change on Saturday. This is no guarantee that my youngest will actually sleep an extra hour as I don’t believe he yet honors daylight savings. I always like to get a journal entry in at…… Continue reading Halloween 2015
