  • Goals for 2014

    Here is my post for 2013, and as you may or may not know, I didn’t complete all of my goals, but I did better than I thought when I wrote them. I continued to review them through the year, and it seemed to help make a difference in my life. This year, I have Read more

  • Quick Christmas Rundown

    So Annie and I made it through both my family and her family Christmas celebrations. Getting to Kingston was a total nightmare. Poor Annie white knuckled the drive the entire way from Georgetown to Kingston. The roads were icy, and people in Toronto are stupid about driving in such conditions. Many vehicles passed us as Read more

  • Middle Class Strength?

    The middle class has long been the standard to which most of the world’s population has strived for. The idea that we will be able to live a comfortable life and have enough left over to purchase the odd object of desire or go on a reasonable vacation. I have been in the work force Read more

  • Editing Second Class Supers

    It looks like editing our first draft is going to take almost as long as writing it, as Annie and I slowly work away on our printed manuscripts, finding issues, errors and changes we would like to make. There are nearly four hundred printed pages, double spaced for us to work on, and we are Read more

  • Bronchitis: The Plague

    So, I’m still not fully healed, but I spent nearly three weeks fighting a rough bout of bronchitis. I had to take some time off work, and I was pretty much useless otherwise as well. I am glad that things got better without antibiotics, and that it didn’t become pneumonia. The endless coughing, the fits Read more

    My Christmas Letter 2013

    This year has definitely been one to remember. So much stuff has happened, I’m not even sure where to start. Here is a link to My Christmas Letter 2012, for those that are interested. First off, I should mention that I moved to Georgetown. Last year, I was thinking about where I wanted to live, Read more

  • Visiting the Mothership

    Annie and I just got back the other night from visiting the headquarters of rocketgenius, the company I work for. We went to Virginia on Sunday, and had a great time. The company party on Monday night was amazing, the weather, while rainy, was warmer than here, and I came back with a ton of Read more

  • Christmas Stress

    I know Christmas is not supposed to be all about the money, but I also feel like it is hard to give things to people that they want without it. We live in a consumer based world, and how do you go into a home with something that they’ll enjoy when the things they want Read more

  • Being Sick

    I don’t do well being sick. I find it hard to focus on getting better. I find it hard to give myself permission to focus on getting better. I want to be productive, and I’m hard on myself when I’m not. The discomfort is annoying, and I can’t wait to get better. Sometimes though, because Read more

  • Second Class Supers – Page 66

    Read Second Class Supers – Page 65 The tall glass and steel skyscraper shone in the early days light. Kya felt excited as she approached the building. She smoothed out her blouse tucking it neatly into her skirt, making sure everything looked perfect. The doors to the building were constantly opening and closing as a Read more

  • Star Trek: Secrets – Page 8

    Read Star Trek: Secrets – Page 7 The bridge was simple, and reminded him of the Defiant class of ships. The command chair was in the center, with spots for others in a semicircle in front of him. The biggest difference, and one that would only matter to someone in his profession, was that the Read more

  • Second Class Supers – Page 64

    Read Second Class Supers – Page 63 Kya read Sam’s message over and over, trying to decipher his tone. She was fairly sure that he was not impressed with her for causing him to have to hide out for a few days, and she knew they had not spent much time together recently. She worried Read more
