Yesterday marked the start of a long holiday weekend for me. That, combined with a few extra days off, will make for a mini-vacation. Unfortunately, the rest of my family isn’t off, so I won’t be going anywhere fun. Instead, I’ll be focusing on taking care of some long-neglected projects around the house. The primary…
February is upon us once again. Groundhog day just passed, and I heard that Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow so predicted six more weeks of winter. I’m not sure how reliable his predictions are, but I guess we’ll wait and see. Many people enjoy the movie, Groundhog Day. I remember liking it when it first…
I hope everyone is doing well. This is the first Saturday in several weekends that the sun is actually shining outside. In southern California we have had quite the streak of rainy days. I don’t mind, since I love cloudy and rainy days, and we need all the precipitation we can get, but it is…
Happy New Year! I hope 2023 is treating you well so far. I’m fresh off a two-week vacation in which I caught up on sleep, spent some time organizing the house, reading, watching movies, and spending time with family and friends, some of whom I hadn’t seen in several years. All in all, it was…
It’s Christmas Eve morning. The house is quiet. My wife has already left for a final session of Jazzercise before the holiday festivities begin. My kids are still fast asleep. Even my dogs are snoozing on the couch behind me, hypnotized by the clickity-clack of my typing away on the keyboard. I’m sipping a cup…
Greetings! I hope this newsletter finds you well and enjoying the holiday season. Shortly after I sent the last edition, I came down with a stomach bug that knocked me on my butt for the better part of a week. Then, as I was just about recovered, I got hit with a painful sinus infection….
My Musings It’s the middle of Thanksgiving weekend here in the U.S. and after much cleaning, food prep, and visiting with family, I can finally relax. The dogs are happy to snuggle next to me as I sit on the couch and watch some TV while I contemplate putting up Christmas lights and other decorations….
Mechhaven Missives My Musings It’s hard to believe, but the holidays are rapidly approaching. With the first draft of Rally Point complete, I can no longer ignore the Halloween decorations staring at me, begging to be put away. Part of my “rest” over this weekend will be cleaning, organizing, and otherwise taking care of any…
Autumn is in full swing. The weather in SoCal has been so pleasant that I no longer have any excuses to not go outside and take some walks. My dogs will definitely be happy! My wife and I are off to San Diego to celebrate a friend’s birthday. We’ll have a fun day of hanging…
I sit here writing this newsletter at 11:30PM sipping from a cup of coffee as I wait for the message to pick up my son from a post-theater activity. During the Fall semester theater students direct and perform in One Act sketches, songs, or dance routine. The performances are always great. I’m always excited to…
