As I mentioned in a post or two ago I recently got excited about my VR goggles again due to discovering YouTube VR. Prior to that I had been rather bored with technology and in a rut checking Instagram, Facebook, the news and writing a blog post or two on an endless loop. Well, that…… Continue reading Technology upgrade

Travels in Asia and Africa – 1325-1354 – Ibn Battúa
I heard about this book from Reddit and knew right away that I wanted to read it. I love history and traveling and here is a first hand account from a well traveled (for the times) man from over 600 years ago. This is unlike a history book. History books are the past seen through…… Continue reading Travels in Asia and Africa – 1325-1354 – Ibn Battúa
Journal Entry 4.4.19
It is 3:56 PM on Tuesday, June 4th. This is the last week of school for my oldest and he has started bringing his classroom items home.

42 Years Old
Today I am officially 42 years old. There doesn’t seem to be any difference physically or mentally with being 41 but I guess I’ve got a year for the verdict to come in. I have been paying more attention to what my body is telling me as I get older. I’ll always remember my Dad…… Continue reading 42 Years Old

Check-in at 41
It is just after noon on Friday, May 24th 2019. This weekend is my birthday and while I have a few spare moments I wanted to get a post in while I’m still 41 years old. This morning was busy responding to customers and I had one sales call. I then stopped by Great Clips…… Continue reading Check-in at 41
Nashville, Tennessee Part 2
The time is 11:11 and I’m back at the hotel. We had training all day and then an excellent party at a venue called 12th and Porter where there was a buffet, drinks and fabulous live music. I introduced myself to many new colleagues and we all had a good time. But it was after…… Continue reading Nashville, Tennessee Part 2
