A Dream, “Young Again”

A-Dream-Young-Again-FeaturedImage

The other day, I tweeted and updated my Facebook status as the above.  I had awoken from a night full of weird stressful dreams, one of which I still can’t seem to shake.  In my hopes to possibly share it with the world, and now write about it openly, may make it seem less profound [...]

Hemorrhoidal Hell

PreparationH-FeaturedImage

It has come to my attention that I haven’t written anything self-deprecating in a long time – actually years now. In some jaded way, I’ve avoided these types of entries for so long for I’ve felt it provided too much ammunition for those who just wanted to poke fun at me. I’ve also come to [...]

2010 was a Good Year

2010-FeaturedImage

So its now the start of 2011 and before I knew it, 2010 flew by as quickly as a hummingbird dashing across alike a dart in the brisk Spring air. 2010 was pivotal for me and alike many others, made a difference. A lot has happened, and a lot has not happened – which is [...]

Sympathetic :)

I have been *so* stressed out lately – it’s all this responsibility and no one to really help out. The previous manager had to be let go for he just wasn’t very responsive and since then, just have been too busy to find a new one. And, an effective one just isn’t that easy to [...]

My Political Views

Firstly, let me state that I’ve never regarded myself as a political person. I’ve always been one of those types of people that turn away upon someone asking me whether I was Democrat or Republican – I would politely excuse myself with a shrug and hope that the conversation would then change topics for it [...]

A Small Memoir of Gratefulness

Back in 1998, on our frequent road trips down to New York City from Rochester, Elizabeth and I used to stop off at this particular Dunkin Donuts in the town of Horseheads, NY. I used to buy a regular coffee for myself and one of those special coffees for her – the ones with whipped [...]

A Couple of Musical Diversions

So our days are jam-packed now pretty much 24 x 7. Megan is into the throws of Kindergarten and homework.  Yeah, homework.  They don’t mess around too much around here.  They know what it takes to build a good educated Democrat here in California – that’s blue state humor.  Well, all in all, Megan’s activities [...]

A Little Bit Tough Lately

I haven’t written in a while and usually, there are a few reasons for my being so out of touch.  Either I’ve been tremendously busy, or life has just gotten bad enough that I’ve decided to isolate away from sharing or documenting anything.  Unfortunately, it’s due to both.  Lessons learned, the last time this happened, [...]

The Name Jul-ian

So the background behind Julian’s name is that initially Elizabeth and Megan liked the named Ian.  I actually liked the name Ian too. One always relates names to others they have known about throughout their lives – there was this guy at summer camp who was the “cool” guy.  You know, the guy guy – [...]
