Alright, let’s do it. Back on the horse. Typing into the void. For the historical record. It’s been a few weeks. Some of that was intentional. Some of that was…gestures wildly at everything. I kind of took the holidays off. Busy family time. Food. Noise. The good stuff. Then the new year rolled in and … More January 12, 2026 – Hi! Let’s Write a Blog Post
“What if…” That’s how every episode of Wild Kratts begins. The Kratt Brothers say it with such energy and excitement right before they’re whisked away into the animated world of creatures and adventures. My youngest, Eleni, loves this show. Honestly, I do too. It’s that perfect mix of real-life science and cartoon storytelling, educational, colorful, … More Wednesday – What If…
I learned something today! (To be fair, I learn something practically every day because I ain’t too smart on many things and I’m curious about a lot of things, so… there you are.) I subscribe to Seth Godin’s blog (he is smart) and he wrote a short blurb on this today and it sparked my … More Monday – The Fermi Paradox (Where Are All the Aliens?)
Today is the last day of being a 61 year old – or it’s the last day of my 62nd year on this planet – however you want to look at it. Tomorrow, for my birthday, we are going to the UGA vs. UCLA soccer match. If we are one of the first 500 folks … More August 13, 2025 – My last day as a 61 year old!

Trying something different with my posting. Instead of trying to come up with one big (or small) topic post I’ll just recap my thoughts from throughout the day. Sort of like a journal…or diary…let’s see how this goes. [] Leave the CEO and the Head of HR alone! Yeah, it was weirdly funny how they … More Monday July 21
I’ve never attended a protest before. Never marched in the streets. Never held signs. Never attended a political rally. I went to the “Hands Off” protest/rally yesterday downtown. It was many things. It was inspiring to see and listen to so many passionate people. It was fun to see the creativity in the signs people … More I went to my first protest
I don’t I wonder if Alexander Hamilton did? I never want to be I wonder if Alexander Hamilton did? If I am we’re in trouble This is not a post about Alexander Hamilton. (we’ve been rewatching and registering to the movie and soundtrack) I have many smart friends and co-workers. I thoroughly enjoy being around … More “Why do you believe you’re the smartest in the room?”
I was thinking the other day about today’s political environment and how it seems to be driven by grievance, performative behavior, division and chaos. And maybe it’s a symptom of being older and more invested/interested in politics now versus when I was younger but I do not remember politics being so loud. I often wonder … More If all you know is chaos, is it normal?
I’m not an expert but I, with the help of my daughters, installed a new microwave above our stove today. Anyone that knows me knows that I am absolutely not a handy person but we accomplished this task in less than 30 minutes which included unloading the cabinet above the microwave, bringing in the new … More I’m not an expert but…
