2023 Project 52 – 36/52
Not my favorite week. Work was overwhelming. The washer/dryer saga continued. And the weather downright sucked. But that week is behind me. All I can do is put my head down, tackle the to-do list at work, and make more…

2023 Project 52 – 31/52
Our trip spilled over into week 31 with our final day in Portland. We took the son to the Japanese Garden in Washington Park, then we wandered around the International Rose Test Garden to see about a million varieties of…
2023 Project 52 – 30/52
We left Cambria and spent the night in Sonoma with the brother-in-law before we continued up north. Our next stop for a couple days was Chico. This is where the wife and I met. This is where our daughter was…
2023 Project 52 – 29/52
Catching up on the last couple weeks. The wife and I went on vacation to California and Oregon to visit family and old, familiar places. We landed in LA and spent a few days there visiting the dad and his…
2023 Project 52 – 26/52
Halfway through the year. And what a year it’s been so far. This week was a lot of catchup on homework for this class. I’m currently on the last week of the class before the final. Not feeling great about…
2023 Project 52 – 24/52
There’s just a lot going on right now. Work continues on our back yard. School work ramps up as I prepare for my midterm (to be taken tomorrow, as I write this). Taking on more responsibility at work (more to…
2023 Project 52 – 22/52
Short week of work because Monday was Memorial Day and Friday was a day off for me. We had a relaxing Memorial Day spent going for a nice walk through town and I played Xbox. We saw a regiment of…
2023 Project 52 – 18/52
We packed a LOT into this week. We closed on the old house, so we’re back to just one mortgage now. With help from my parents, we were able to purchase the new house first and then sell the old…

Hightlights of the week:
2023 Project 52 – 10/52
Quite the week. We closed on the new house. The son premiered his documentary. Movers moved most of the house this weekend. The son left to drive to the West Coast. My dad (who lives in SC) stopped by to…

So much packed into one week. A quick rundown of what happened: A quick rundown of what didn’t happen:
47/52
Short week of work because I took time off for Thanksgiving. We all drove down to North Carolina to visit my dad, aunts, and uncles. It was a reeeeal long drive on Wednesday, but worth it to see everybody on…
My Mostly Magnificent Miscellany 007
James Bond edition! Get it … because 007? It’s not really a post dedicated to James Bond. I mean, I like the films, but I don’t think I know or follow the series enough to have a whole post dedicated…
40/52
Busy week of work. We’re re-focusing on some of the basics and trying to get everybody on board with some of the changes happening around the office. I love the direction we’re going and I see our team being very…
39/52
This week was simultaneously long and went by quickly. I guess it *felt* long during the week, but when looking back it went by quickly. Lots of business at work and home. At home we have a couple projects in…
38/52
Not a whole lot happened this week. Work, homework, and lots of coughing (allergies or COVID remnants or a combo). My boss came out to our area this week, so we had a team lunch and a good strategy meeting…
28/52
A short week back at work was helpful; providing a soft landing after vacation. Next week will be my first full week in three weeks though … so wish me luck. I stopped at World Market this week while waiting…
Who Am I? But really?
I saw a post in a Facebook group for my High School alumni which showed this map of German beers from each state. This led me down the rabbit hole of investigating the German states a little more, since I…
9/52
The hits keep rolling in. We found out my cousin was killed in a car accident. It had been a few years since I’d seen him, but I am very close to his parents (my aunt and uncle). My heart…
Happy Anniversary and Merry Holidays
Hey! Welcome back. I know it’s been a while. I’ve been pretty busy. How about you? The wife and I took a train up to New York on Nov 20th to celebrate our 25th anniversary. Lots of walking, shopping, eating,…
25th Anniversary in NYC
Honoring Those Who Serve
First and foremost, thank you to all who have served in our armed forces for your service. Thank you to the families who support them and the sacrifices they’ve made as well. My father was a POW in Vietnam. His…
Fall Finally Found Fairfax
It’s been quite a week, which is why I’m posting this later in the week than I want. Anyway, the wife, the son, and I went apple picking this past weekend (the daughter was out of town or she would…
