Could you, too, Become a WordCamp Groupie? (Join Me)
A year ago I had never even heard of WordCamp. Now, as soon as one is finished I’m looking for the next in my area. And I’m not the only one. I’m starting to recognize WordPress friends every camp I go to, and have even started adjusted our traveling plans so we can hang out with…

Catching up to Me – and our Trip to DC (and Surrounding Areas)
I somehow missed June, and I blame it on my kids. Hudi pretty much finished his school year months ago (he homeschools through a virtual high school), CJ is out of college, and Zeb is in college. No school days were pushing (punishing?) us through the long days of June so we forgot to stress and…

Anyway… Today’s Prompt: Tell us something about your favorite childhood meal — the one that was always a treat, that meant “celebration,” or…

Spring Preparation
A happy tradition in the household as the last remnants of snow start melting away. When we moved to this house years ago, we set up our trampoline. The boys were quite young, and I remember telling them they could not jump out of our second-story window onto the trampoline unless there was a fire.…

My Buddy – Who Was – Yet Still Is
Write about a loss: something (or someone) that was part of your life, and isn’t any more. Well, he’s still part of my life, just not in a physical sense. I make my living using technology, and one of my greatest teachers/supporters/technological playmates was a quadriplegic named Buddy. Buddy went to school with my sister,…
