As you can plainly see in from the lack of posts (been a month since the last one) on my blog, it seems to be loosing some steam. I’m stil really fascinated by the concept and the technology, I’m just finding it harder than I though to make it part of my daily routine. I…

I had the honor of attending the memorial service for several friends of mine that were killed in a plane crash last Sunday. There were 10 souls that were lost, although I only knew 4 of them and of those 4, and 1 really well. The memorials were all wonderful and were true celebrations of…

Spent a week in Paris and London lately. Had a great time in both, but really had a good time in London. The pubs were great and the people were really nice. My wife came over for one day in Paris and we spent the weekend in London. I had a work day on Monday…

Damn, I’ve been busy lately, especially on the weekends. 3 weekends ago it was the opera and the Kenton county fair. 2 weekends ago it was Kings Island. Last weekend was the Boone county fair and the Indy race and the Kentucky Speedway. It seems this summer has just flown by. When I was a…
