On a very hot September day, my daughter and I made our way to Livermore, Ca. to have lunch with a young woman we haven't seen in a while. Family friend, and one of the people that affectionately calls me dad, she sat in front of us with eyes full of life, story, and of …
Super Mom
So i was talking with my mom today, of course, being Mother's day. Again, she amazed me... I've already bragged that she went skydiving at age 66... awesome... I haven't bragged as much that she was in a TV movie with Pam Dawber, but yes, she was... I remember her taking 2 & 3 jobs …
The Stuph of Dads…
My weekend was pretty planned out, to the point that I thought I wasn't going to get around to doing a post. I literally had "things to do, places to go, and people to see". Some of my plans fell through, but all in all, it's turning out to be a good weekend. But back …

In Praise of Older Things…
Ok, I admit it. I am a technogeek. I've always loved technology, progressive stuph, newer, better faster, etc. I'm a Boomer only by age, but more of a Buster and X-er in personality. I jumped on the online bandwagon with Xanga, then Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, and of course, Kid Stuph. I love new stuph... However, …
