Left Hilton Head on Saturday…  Had a great time!  It was different than the Outer Banks, but just as fun, if not moreso.  Plus, it’s new, which makes a difference.  We liked it so much we’ve reserved two weeks for next June! We’re in Washington DC now.  We went to the Washington Monument, Lincoln Monument, [...]

I haven’t been posting much this year, and that trend will worsen here in the next month.  We’re off for two weeks, then come back for a week, and then we’re gone again for a week after the 4th of July.  It’s a much needed break. For now, I leave you with this parting thought…  [...]

Next week is it.  I go to Corporate for my big presentation in front of the executives.  It’s mostly a developmental thing, but still, there’s pressure and stress.  That’s what they want, actually.  We’ve been working on this project for 5 weeks.  We lost one member half-way through (no, the stress didn’t kill him, he [...]

Played some more FIFA 09, and some Galaga, over the holiday weekend.  I now have resumed my perch at the top in terms of gamer points in the household, LOL.  Oddly, I don’t think my son noticed that, either! Previously with FIFA 09, I had only played in “Be a Pro” mode.  I started a [...]

Well, it finally happened…  My son passed me in Xbox gamer points.  I know he’s been dreaming of this day for a couple of years.  Surprisingly, it occured with very little fanfare.  As a matter of fact, I’m not even sure if he’s aware of it yet, but he’s 5 points ahead of me! Honestly, [...]

I would be remiss if I didn’t take a minute to let the internet world know that I have the best mother in the whole world!  She did so much for my self esteem self confidence, and moral character growing up, and I know that’s made a world of difference in the person I am today.  [...]

I received 221 B Baker Street this week, so the kids and I had a little “family game night” time, and tried it out.  I must say, we enjoyed it very much!  It was exactly what I’d hoped it would be; I only wish I would’ve bought it a long time ago… It’s similar to [...]

…when you keep thinking that all the stuff you had and played as a kid is better than the stuff out there today.  It’s when you cross that line from enjoying the latest and most contemporary pastimes to scourering eBay to rediscover your youth.  Yes, I’m there. I’ve picked up many old games from my [...]

I titled this post as such to help those other searchers out there who will have trouble finding an answer to that question… There are old gamers out there – like me.  All these new games have their fancy graphics, 7.1 sound tracks, online play, and so on, and are impressive in many ways.  But [...]

I’m getting close to launching Brittany’s website.  Last month, she made some edits on her main pages.  I’m going to make some additional edits, organize some information, implement a few items, sign with a host, and then make sure it’s working correctly.  I want to add a few “programmed” things like a guest book, and [...]
