Living to be 108 is really pushing it but with my maternal grandfather, if there was anyone who could’ve succeeded on this accomplishment, I would’ve gone with him as the smart money. Listening to the advice of his doctor(s) was … Continue reading →

The last one didn’t give me any tremendous amount of new gray hair, the support engineering gig if you forget. This time I am covering for a really nice person whose wife had a baby last week and his position … Continue reading →

My sister-in-law and brother have been married since 1995. It’s not really a surprise they’ve made it this long. I wish I had empirical evidence to back up what appears to be a hunch, something I’m not a fan of. … Continue reading →

My treadmill was finally repaired this weekend. It burned up most of our Saturday afternoon but the repair tech was such a nice fellow. Currently, I have to really focus when running on it too, he applied a generous amount … Continue reading →

I was a little too swamped to thank the lady who helped save my life and boosted my career. I think I caught her online briefly to say “Hey” from the train’s WiFi on Tuesday evening. Maybe I can do … Continue reading →
