  • The joys of coaching

    Yes, that’s right, I am coaching soccer again. This time it’s my son’s 4-5 year division in the YMCA league. We’ve had a couple practices and the second couldn’t have been more different than the first. There are a total of 10 kids on our team, 8 boys and 2 girls.    There were only 6…

  • Selling my house

    For the few people that actually stop by here, I thought I would let you know that my house is up for sale. We just signed a contract on a new house in Crittenden, which is a little further out in the boonies, but it is exactly what we have been looking for for the…

    I’m in the process of moving my old blog based on a Plone plug-in called COREBlog to the new one I just set-up on WordPress. I’ve outlined the reasons for my changes in previous posts, but the migration is turning out to be a real pain. I’m really starting to question the value of moving…

  • Change of scenery

    Well, if you’re just coming to my homepage, you may not notice much difference, but for the few long time users, you will notice right away that I’ve changed the order of things a bit around here.  I finally decided to take to plunge and switch my blog site to be the main page and…

  • Vacation – Day 3: Hello Mickey!
