I think that everyone has something to do offline. A hobby of some sort. Reading, crafting, cooking, what are you into?
For me, it’s been years since I have had a hobby that didn’t involve computers. When my Dad and Mom bought me my first computer years ago, it was my hobby. Later I turned that [...]

Yesterday I confronted a simple idea with my family that I’ve had for months. My theory behind the idea was simple and basically cures the “I’m bugging the hell out of you and you’re bugging the hell out of me.”
I’m out of place here and I don’t belong. And after 26 years, I’m really OK [...]

What a weekend we had!
On Friday, Joanne and I ran out the door to head to her Mom’s house. To our surprise we FINALLY had a great visit with Joanne’s Dad at dinner. He spoke to us, sat near us, and even kept a conversation going. Something that hasn’t happened in well over a year. [...]

I’ve concluded that my brother is a waste of space on this planet. And yes, that sounds harsh but I really mean it. From yesterday evening on, he’s completely non-existent to me.
