Reporting in from Disneyland. We’ve never been during the holidays, so my wife and I took our kids and her parents. The decorations are quite festive. It’s crowded, but not nearly as bad as I expected. We walked about a gazillion miles yesterday, and we’ll walk a gazillion more before heading home today. We haven’t…
The holiday season is here. I just wrapped up meeting some pretty crazy deadlines at work, but have a few more days until I’m on vacation until after New Year’s. I’m so ready to slow down for a bit to enjoy my family, watch some movies, and read some books. Regarding the title of this…
As we head in to Thanksgiving week, I just wanted to say I am thankful for all of you. Writing, even though I don’t do it full time (yet), has been one of my dreams since I was very young. So that I get to write and all of you somehow are engaged in that…
Halloween has come and gone, now the holiday season is fully upon us. Thanksgiving is bearing down on us whether we like it or not. I’m actually looking forward to it as I like this time of year. I’m not crazy like someone I know who put their Christmas tree up in October (that’s taking…
This weekend I’m at what will probably be my last in-person event for the year, the San Diego Comic Fest. My oldest son and I drove down to Carlsbad yesterday. We set up our table and hung out for the opening night gala. As soon as I finish prepping this newsletter, we’ll be off to…
I long to see the stars… Work, summer heat, smoke, and allergies have all conspired to keep me inside. Now, the weather is cooling off, it’s getting darker earlier, and work is settling down, so I’m making a concerted effort to get outside more. I’m sure my dogs will appreciate this, as they’ll benefit from…
When I sent out the last newsletter, I was just starting my vacation. The highlight of which was a 4-night cruise. It’s been 26 years since my last cruise, and I have to say, I forgot how nice they could be! I tuned out from everything: work, writing, the world. I focused on hanging out…
It’s mid-September already! The last eight to ten weeks have been super crazy with work, but I’m finally at the precipice of a well-earned vacation. I plan to relax and disconnect as much as possible. I’ll be recharging by diving in to some books, comics, manga, anime, movies, tv shows, and whatever else sparks my…
Dogs are interesting creatures. If you’ve ever owned a dog or dogs, you’ll know that each of them are unique creatures with their own personalities. Over the last couple of years, I’ve noticed a couple of peculiar behaviors from mine. Orson, my beagle, will go through phases where every morning, no matter what time we…
Greetings! I’ve just returned home from a week in San Diego for my work’s annual strategic planning retreat. The word retreat is a bit of misnomer and implies some relaxation…which there was none. The week is full of presentations, discussions, and lots of data, but is powerful in terms of motivation and planning for the…
