[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aU4pyiB-kq0] You may have seen some oblique references either on Facebook or on this blog to me being so excited that I can hardly contain it. Well, the time has come when I can finally share the news. David and I have embarked on the process of adopting a newborn! We are still in the …

Eliminating distractions
Recently my work has shifted a bit from primarily answering questions to primarily writing documentation. The idea being that good documentation will result in fewer questions to answer. I very much enjoy the writing component, although I could do without spending so much time fiddling with little details in Pixelmator. Writing uses a different part of …
Spring cleaning on steroids
Passover starts tonight, but the preparation has been going on for a while. Jews have been working on getting rid of all leavened foods for the past month in preparation for the holiday. This cleaning process includes vacuuming out cars and cleaning out those corners of your cabinets where all of the crumbs accumulate. This year …
Strange things are afoot at the Circle K
Seems that my goals/coping mechanisms have switched around a bit. I have been finding it increasingly hard to focus in the mornings due to happenings that do not bear further exploration at this juncture. But, I have found that doing 15-20 minutes of writing helps focus my mind and increase my ability to actually get …
Rules and Consequences
I know I said previously that I was kind of over traveling and wanted to stay in Portland for at least a month. I can say with confidence that I am very likely to achieve that goal (not willing to say anything more definitive than that lest I disturb the Imps of Complacency, p’tui, p’tui). …

Now for an update on her progress… Writing daily: Fail Crafting: Partial Pass Walking: Pass Turns out that after a day of staring at my screen and typing, the last thing I want to do …

Thoughts from my Theater Extravaganza
I know it has been too long since my last post and please accept my apologies for that. Life has been hectic and although there has truly been much in my life that has been blogworthy (e.g. a trip to the Galapagos Islands, a cruise to Belize and Conzumel with my AgileBits peeps followed immediately …
Farewell Rosie
Our beloved Rosie was only 6 years old when we unexpectedly lost her yesterday. She was our sweetest, best tempered cat and we are all feeling her loss. Rosie joined our household about 5 years ago, along with her littermate Dancer and her adopted brother, Nom Nom. She and her brothers were all born feral …
What a long, strange trip it has been
One should never start a post with an apology, but I am going to anyway. This post is likely to be much more stream-of-consciousness than my usual posts. Hopefully the why will become clear as you read the post. 2014 was an odd, amazing and painful year for me. The year started with us in …
