A unique opportunity
I received a call this weekend from a friend from high school that I don’t get to talk to very often. He’s in school to become a band director and he’s working with Centerville High School’s drum line this summer to get them ready for their competitions. He’s a little short-handed and wanted to know…

4th of July Weekend
If there’s one thing I love more than the weekend it’s a 3-day weekend. It’s nice to really be able to get some rest in and spend time with family and friends in the process. This weekend, as if it were avoidable, was 4th of July weekend and for the U.S. that means the celebration…

Getting ready for Florida
With only one week left until Kristen and I hit the road for Florida, we’re getting very excited and can almost taste the ocean air. Though we’re there for a wedding, we’re really hoping to turn it into a vacation as well. With visits to the beach and hopefully other fun activities planned, we’re looking…

The power of music… again

In the works…
I’m currently working on something for this website that I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. It’s a look at my history as a website designer, how I got started as well as examples of very early and intermediate websites that I developed. It’s very exciting for me to see that I have…

Michael Jackson
I’m not a huge fan of Michael Jackson these days but yesterday I found myself counting down the minutes until the verdict was announced. I found myself hoping that he wouldn’t be found guilty and I found myself excited when he was in fact found not guilty of all counts. For whatever reason I’ve somehow…

Various updates
Back in the Gym! After a long absense from the fitness arena, I’m back in and I’m loving it. Jamie and I are lifting Sunday through Thursday and things are going great. We’ve been doing it for close to a month now and I’m finally starting to get my strength back to what it was…
Got any book recommendations?
