Travel time again for me. This week I’m heading for Dallas. I went to Dallas back on the 1990’s and had a chance to walk around the city, such as Dealey Plaza, which was close to our hotel. I won’t have as much chance to see what Dallas has to offer this time. When I…

Late again today. Kate got me up early and we went down to Newburyport, MA to go to Plum Island to walk around and see birds. It’s so beautiful down there, and the weather this morning was incredible. It’s so nice to walk the beach (plover nesting is done – the whole beach is open)…

Late – computer issues and helping out the Kindergarten class. Fall is here – it’s been very cool here lately – just how I like it. Bring on the cold, it’s why we have sweaters. Another thing to keep us warm is music, specifically the music in today’s podcast, with Barry White, Raphael Saadiq, Sade,…

I started out writing a giant screed against the year 1968, which was 50 years ago. That’s half a century, and I was alive, so I’m getting older. I didn’t like what I wrote, so I deleted it. What does everyone else think about for the year 1968? I’ll just say that there was no…

Are you properly insured? Do you care? Its important, but it’s not so important that anyone should have to go to a 2 day meeting on insurance. That’s what I’m doing tomorrow and Tuesday. I couldn’t be more exci…underwhelmed. It’s not the most glamorous part of my job, but is in my bailiwick. Risk mitigation…

It’s weather again – not bad here (warm again for a couple of days, followed by rain and then back to where weather should be in late September). But Florence has hit North Carolina, and Mangkhut has wreaked havoc in the Philippines and Pacific Ocean. I know someone who’s retirement house in Myrtle Beach(move in…

As I get older I am ruled more and more by to-do lists. Online I use an app called ToDoist, which is my primary to do list. I use the notes app to quickly track immediate to do’s (if there are lots of little things I need to get done in a day that I…

Happy Labor Day, comrades. I’ve been troubleshooting my computer – ugh. It’s becoming painfully slow, and it’s not even that old (hear me computer? get up to speed!). Just printing out pictures for my wife’s first day of school took far too long (and it wasn’t the printer’s fault this time). That’s what you get…

It’s back to school time. Although I do not have a school-aged child that is heading back to school, my wife is a teacher, and we did some last minute shopping yesterday with thousands of my closest friends That’s right, driving and shopping was kind of a mess yesterday. Like many teachers, Kate does not…

We had our 40th Reunion last Saturday at the newly-beautiful Mt. Blue High School, which underwent a huge renovation a couple of years ago. I remember the old school fondly, and the new school is fantastic. There were only a couple of dozen of us there, which out of ~200 isn’t much. We ended up…
