I was on retreat a few weeks back. As part of the retreat, I had to set some lifetime goals, also known as a bucket list. The best way to keep me honest to the list is to publish them. Sorry for those marked confidential – need to keep some mystery. CONFIDENTIAL. (Completed October 28,Continue reading “Lifetime Goals (aka Bucket List)”

Time To Get Back To Blogging
After humping it for quite a few years with family and Contegix, it is now time to get back to blogging. It has been too long.

Upgraded to WordPress MU 1.5.1
Just upgraded this WordPress blog to 1.5.1 which is based upon the 2.5.1 WordPress codebase. While WordPress MU 2.6 has been released, the upgrade process appeared to succeed; however, it would not allow me to login as any user except ‘admin’ to access the per-user blogs. C’est la vie.

Dear TiVo, We Had Some Good Times But I Need to Move On
In November 2006, we purchased a high definition Panasonic 42″ plasma television for our family room. Our crappy 22 inch TV was developing dark spots and fading. Courtney wanted a panel television due to the odd layout of our family room. I am far from a videophile or audiophile – hell, I can not evenContinue reading “Dear TiVo, We Had Some Good Times But I Need to Move On”

Ah, travel. It’s one of those ideas that seems really sexy when you are younger. See new places, meet new people, all without hassles thanks to the modern day conveniences.
