Well then. I guess I’ll step away from my desk for a bit & take the dog for a walk. https://t.co/oPhoIKzJgL
Letter from a Birmingham Jail
A couple of years ago, I decided to read Martin Luther King Jr.‘s “Letter from a Birmingham Jail” on the MLK Day, as I have the day off from work. The federal holiday was intended to be a day or service, but perhaps we can at least start with learning about the man and his… Continue reading Letter from a Birmingham Jail
Korean-American Day
My mother-in-law is a Korean-American in the sense that she immigrated to this country from S. Korea as an adult. She’s a naturalized citizen and has now lived in the US longer than she lived in Korea (by a over a decade). My wife is a Korean-American in the sense that, as you just read,… Continue reading Korean-American Day

I honestly don’t think I have ever managed to eat an entire banana by itself (that is, not in some other food).… Continue reading Berry Smoothie
Remembering Maggie
I was talking to my dad last week and I hadn’t realized until he asked about Maggie that I hadn’t written about her here. I guess I don’t write here very often anymore, and it wasn’t the sort of thing I was really looking forward to. As Harry had lived longer and also had a… Continue reading Remembering Maggie
My First Stomp Box Project
For my birthday, I decided to work a completely new project: build a guitar effects pedal. I purchased the “Confidence Boost” project kit from BuildYourOwnClone.com (as in clones of popular guitar stomp boxes). It’s a great project for about $15 which comes with detailed instructions and makes a pretty decent little boost effect. The kit… Continue reading My First Stomp Box Project

It is with sadness that I write that today our good friend & dog, Harry, died. He had begun to decline more rapidly over the past couple of weeks. Angela and I were on either side of Harry when our vet put him to sleep, just as he had slept in the middle of our… Continue reading In Memory of Harry
