Oooooooooookay beautiful boys and girls. We have returned to the Land Locked State of Iowa and I’m playing a spot of catch up with Work, Prosebox, Grocery Shopping, and Life Not On Vacation, lol...


I finally drifted off to sleep sometime after Hawai’i 6 a.m. When I awoke, the waves outside were… angry. The wind was high. In fact, Hurricane Barbara is kicking up a LOT of wind so there is ...


In Iowa, I’m writing this at around 7:00 a.m. In Hawai’i, it is 2:00 a.m. I can’t sleep. So, here are my notes on the last few days. On Saturday, I decided that Wife would get until Noon to fi...


This entry is written at the corner of Intoxicated and Enlightened. Traditionally, I do an EXCELLENT job of not writing when I may not remember what I wrote. It has happened. It even happened...


Time Zones and Day Reviews are interesting. From one perspective, Tuesday was a “travel day.” Except… perspectives and relative time through space play with it. From one perspective: Tuesday wa...


I started this almost immediately after I finished my last entry because… that’s who I am? I mean… I’m a documenter and a writer and a little obsessed with stories whether my own or someone else...


So, I think the honest truth is… I will likely be checking work e-mail and prosebox and facebook and instagram on my vacation. That’s… probably just expected. After all, Wife (I know) will be c...


F.O. access entry will be released at some point today. I woke up with a big bump on my forehead and no idea how it got there. So… that’s interesting. But I also woke up with the puppy on the be...


Wanted to start today with a picture of my puppy. Here’s Nala in her sleep position dubbed Puppy Doughnut! I won’t do a detailed recap of last night. It’s all pretty much the standard marks. C...


Sometimes the stupidest thing can mean the most.


I know I have an issue with resentment in my marriage; that’s pretty obvious at this point. After all, my Wife is in many ways like a child despite being roughly 11 months away from turning 40. ...


I feel very off my game of late. I’m encouraged to chalk it up to the construction and that may be part of the reason. It is hard to feel “settled” or “in a groove” when 80% of the office is no...


EDIT MARKED AT BOTTOM I got my haircut and shaved my face. Images will be provided when available. In a lot of ways it is a… different experience. I feel lighter and younger… I hadn’t shaved my...


For the first official day of summer, it is uncharacteristically dark outside. Dark and rainy. More like a spring day. But then… that works, doesn’t it? As we fuck up the world, the world fin...


Honestly, title was selected for reasons beyond my comprehension. Though I often do that, and I like it. I sit down… look at the blank page… select a title based on whatever is going through my...


Back at work. 8:03 a.m. In the hallway? Red cling wrap covers the carpets to minimize dust and debris clean up. At each end of the hallway? A giant industrial emergency air conditioner. In ...


EDIT: I put the edit at the beginning just in case anyone has read this and just wanted to quick see what was added. After doing some independent research, my Dad has informed us that he thinks ...


Oh, dreams. “All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous m...


I don’t know if this is just venting or if perhaps my statements might be able to help others who experience similar concepts. Obviously, I would hope for the latter but ultimately… I don’t get ...


Sometimes, the hardest thing in the world is to accept that what you are going through is important. Maybe that’s just me? I read some truly terrible things in this job. A 7 year old child rou...


It is no surprise that once you’ve experienced something traumatic, it readjusts your expectations. If you experience the same trauma over a long enough period, that simply becomes your reality....


Friends: Back from conference. Will write more later. Looking forward to catching up, responding to notes, and getting work done. One thing I was excited about after the E3 presentations this yea...


(1) I am writing this from my phone and I bloody HATE typing on my phone! I mean, don’t get me wrong… I prefer receiving texts to phone calls… but typing? Whether autocorrect or my own fat thum...


Random thing I am sharing here because sharing it on Facebook would somehow make it “more of a controversy”. Element: Keanu Reeves recently has been on social media being applauded for photos whe...


Well… I was sick. Still am. Started this in the office on a Saturday trying to catch up with some work before heading to a work Conference on Sunday. See, the timing on it all sounds fishy but...
