I checked the time as I approached the bus stop on foot, and neighbor Logan should have been there. Having flubbed in not waking the family a couple of days ago, I tried to call. It is a notorious dead spot for my phone, and sure enough, I was not connected to the cell tower. […]

Look Here, Mr. Hawk!

Something large flapped in the oak tree behind John’s head as we ate breakfast on the porch yesterday. We’d never seen any bird that large in our tree and thought it could be an owl, an eagle, or a hawk. It was hard to see its features because the sun was behind it. Three times […]

Carl Sandburg’s Home

We were aware Carl Sandburg’s home was nearby, but we also knew the house had been closed for preservation work. Seeing that it had been reopened, we drove to Flat Rock and saw it. Our visit was a bit premature, since the furnishings were back in the house but not totally unpacked. I have one […]

About

For years this blog was TechieFamily – a blog dedicated to showing how to enhance family living using technology. But one day I woke up and realized my kids were grown and had moved out. And the world was now using technology to enhance family connections on a regular basis. So the purpose of the site was no longer valid.

Writing is cathartic, and I love to share thoughts and life events so the site is now evolving into a journal-ish sort of thing.

I work for Automattic (the company behind WordPress.com) as a Happiness Engineer, and I’m married to an amazing artist. So this site will probably morph into work thoughts and art highlights. Plus stories about places we travel to 🙂

I’m a bit sad about letting go of TechieFamily, to be honest. But life moves on, and changes happen. Time for me to go with the flow.
