November 27, 2016 The Thanksgiving Post, 2016 Edition The year has been eventful and engaging for me. Selling the condo and buying a new house proved a lengthy, multi-step process. (That isn’t a complaint. This isn’t a complaining web log post, it is a thankful one.) The result was worth the effort. The new house… Continue reading The Thanksgiving Post, 2016 Edition.

Dreams and the Perilous Realm. Resurrected Post.
November 13, 2016 Dreams and the Perilous Realm At what point during parenthood do you begin getting a full night’s sleep again. I’m nearly at the three-year mark and I’m still not there. I’m tired. I mention this because I was considering today’s post with my head on my wife’s shoulder. She asked if was… Continue reading Dreams and the Perilous Realm. Resurrected Post.
Library Progress Report. Resurrected Post.
November 6, 2016 Library Progress Report I have yet to decide what to call this room. Library? Den? Study? Office? What best suits it? I don’t know. At this point it remains a work in progress.

But that doesn’t mean I’m nearly finished. Oh, no. The torrent of chores may have dwindled to a stream, but… Continue reading Settling In. Resurrected Post.
The Labor Day Post. Resurrected Post.
September 4, 2016 The Labor Day Post Let me tell you tales of labor of high adventure. Or, maybe not. I mean, you’ve got your Labors of Hercules. But let’s face it, those weren’t so much lunch pail jobs as they were quests. And Hercules was hardly a blue collar fellow. There is Sam. Samwise… Continue reading The Labor Day Post.

Books: The Un-Boxening. Resurrected Post.
August 28, 2016 Books: The Un-Boxening I’ve moved into a new house. A new house seemingly inhabited by boxes. Boxes that shift and rearrange themselves into a continuously moving maze. I started tackling one section of that maze, attempting to clear away the savage boxes to make room for civilized living. Specifically, the room that… Continue reading Books: The Un-Boxening.
