Well, it has been a really rough past couple of months. We’ve been passing around who-knows-how-many viruses. We had several holiday get-together with friends and family here at our house (not including tonight’s NYE party1. Wyatt has learned to crawl, so our lives have only become that much more insane as we attempt to keep… Continue reading Twenty Ought Nine — Goals in Review

Goals, Not Resolutions
Over the years, I’ve decided that setting for goals is a better notion that resolutions. A resolution is something that, once you’ve broke it there seems little point in keeping it from then on. They are so all-or-nothing. A goal is something to keep striving for. Even if you don’t reach it, at least you’ve… Continue reading Goals, Not Resolutions
Repairing a Kid’s Bed
As part of my goals for 2019, I am going to try to write about some of my DIY and maker projects. So, here’s an unexpected one to start off the year… The other evening, I heard a thud and an “uh-oh” from my 11yo daughter’s room. Turns out, when hopping on to the bed to… Continue reading Repairing a Kid’s Bed
Starting Out 2014 Right
My goals from year-to-year don’t change that much. However, that’s not entirely a bad thing. Some have set goal lines but most of them are open ended. Strive-to-do-more-of-this or less-of-that sort of things. However, this year, I’ve decided to narrow some of my goals to the daily level. More accurately, at the end of each… Continue reading Starting Out 2014 Right
My FitBit and Me
In early January, Angela and I got matching his-and-hers FitBit One’s to start tracking our activity. Angela’s actually been wearing a pedometer for years now. But the FitBit does a lot more data tracking than a simple pedometer. I’ve been wearing it everyday since then. There a few technologies I’ve adopted that I would consider life-changing.… Continue reading My FitBit and Me
Looking Ahead into 2012
I tend to write this sort of post every year. It’s not really a set of resolutions, just goals. That is, I rarely say to myself “I will do this from now on.” but rather “This is what I’d like to try to accomplish this year.” Small difference, but probably worth noting. So, in no… Continue reading Looking Ahead into 2012
I Don’t Like These Numbers
I’ve been poking fun at many of the number-goal groups on Facebook for sometime. It’s just seems so comical to me that there are a huge number of “I bet I can find 1,000,000 people for/against so-and-so” type groups there. They only get more entertaining the longer I’m on that site. It’s so cute that there’s… Continue reading I Don’t Like These Numbers
Kodak Zi6 First Impressions
So, as part of one of my goals for 2009, we’re starting to shoot more video (mostly of Ainsley, natch). We’ve done so in the past, but with not with any regularity. Though one cannot ignore the fact of lazy parenting, I do think there are other more significant issues contributing to our lack of… Continue reading Kodak Zi6 First Impressions
Going For The Duece
If you don’t have the time or desire to read a fairly long post from me, let me give you the short & sweet: don’t try and run two marathons in two weeks time. More importantly, the next time you hear me talking about doing something like that, slap me and then make me read… Continue reading Going For The Duece
Marine Corps Marathon
Well, the big day kind of snuck-up on us. Angela had been getting over a hamstring injury pretty much all of October and we had gone on vacation earlier last month. Therefore, when the end of the month came out of no where, we almost felt surprised that an entire month had gone by without… Continue reading Marine Corps Marathon
