Summer Break 2018

Wow, with summer here in the Northern Hemisphere, we are definitely seeing a drop in people online.   Even I'm getting more sun. I'm going to cut back on the number of blogs I'm doing for now and pick up again in the fall.  It'll give me more time to do these silly summer homeowner things I'm suddenly stuck with. lol.

Starting the New Chapter in Life

Well.  Here I am.  I've finished off my two weeks at my last job.  Saying goodbye to the great people I worked with was hard.  I did that on Friday.  I finished packing and moving Saturday.  (and did 13,600 steps before taking off the Fitbit...).  Sunday was Easter with the family and now I'm looking at the giant pile of boxes and furniture and trying to figure out how all that stuff fit in my old place and will fit here at home. I've known this was coming for awhile, of course.  I built my

Things to do - Isn't there always?

So, I use Wunderlist to keep track of my To Do lists.  I have a lot of them.  Stuff for the site, stuff for the business, stuff for home, stuff for mom's home, stuff for the mancave, stuff for writing, and even entertainment.  There are more too.  As of this moment, I have 69 things on my To Do list flagged for Today.  After 50 hours sucked up by the work week, I'm a bit grouchy that I've got more stuff to do. My nerdy nature doesn't help.  I like doing research on stuff.  (like reading boo

Potpourri of Updates

Welcome to my little potpourri of updates.  It has been a little while again.  As it happens, I get way too busy bouncing all over the place with all the stuff I'm doing.  Some personal stuff first... the project I started two years ago with my mother after dad died is now pretty much done.  We converted the back porch of the house into a very nice family room that is pretty much all windows.  (There are 15 windows in the room).  It turned into a great place for me to write and to read when I st

Working

Has it been two weeks?  It already feels like two years.  Aside from all the work here, I work full time.  We have the same issue with our programmer, but he's on a totally different time schedule.  So it adds to some complications in getting these bugs fixed.  I'm sorry it is taking so long, but some things are being a bit stubborn.  You guys see the ship is moving, but you don't see that the engine keeps randomly spewing oil all over the engine room.  I'm just happy we keep moving.

Reflecting On The Past

Today would have been Dad's 69th birthday. Today mark's two years since I last talked to him. In a few weeks, it will mark two years since he died. I have been in a contemplative mood all day. Withdrawn would be a good word. A lot has been going on in the last two years. I've spent a LOT of weekends at Mom's, which means a lot of traveling. I've had a lot of ups and downs and being there for mom. I've not had much in the way of downtime trying to take care of things Mom can't, working

Saying the Last Good Bye to Dad

Last Saturday morning, about ten minutes after arriving at my destination on campus my mother called my cell phone. I could barely make out what she was saying. The gist of it was that dad had a massive heart attack and collapsed in the driveway. She told me she was getting on the ambulance and hung up. It took me almost 15 minutes to trudge across campus through the snow to my car. I was going as quick as I could without falling on the ice. I drove to my house and grabbed my meds and some

A Time of Reflection

They say that the new year is a time of reflection. It has been a very long time since I just sat down to write and I did that last night. It felt good to do it. I decided to stop by my blog because I was cleaning up old stuff. With the big software upgrade, some of the old junk needs to go. I decided to keep this blog though because of it's long history. But since I was here, why not write something? One of my goals for this year was to be more visible on the site. You've seen some of

How does one cover a year and a half?

So, I haven't written a blog since November 2008. I feel like I have been slacking somewhat.   In truth, I have been very very busy in life. Work has been a trip. I enjoy what I'm doing for the most part and we are doing well.   Other than work, I've been very busy with Gay Authors, of course. I've been coordinating the various Premium Content authors to make sure we have a steady flow of stories for Subscribers. I've been keeping the site up to date, including the new Live Chat software.

It has been quite a while

I always seem to forget about this blog. I get myself tied up working on something or another and don't come back for months at a time. So, since my last entry. I have moved into my new townhouse and started a new job. My new company is still going balls to the wall, despite the slowing economy. They are holding back from hiring many more people to try to insulate from issues in the future.   I'm personally very busy.   As for the site, we have been doing a lot behind the scenes and som

Packing, Moving, Programming, Oh my!

Well... I'm moving back to the city I want to be in. I start my new job on 7/7.   I am moving this week. As such, I have been spending a LOT of time packing and going through my junk. I have more books than I thought possible. I'm going to need a large room just to hold them all.   Let's see... I have also been working on the Story Archive. There are some very major updates coming soon there. It will also be the first place we deploy the new logo. Steph has been working hard on gett

Oh.. a Real Post

Ugh. I've got a little problem lately that I can't seem to get under control. I can't sit still. This makes working on anything rather difficult as I have the most trouble sitting in my desk chair.   Motivation to do so is also somewhat lacking. I can't force myself to focus on much of anything lately. I'm hoping that it has just been the crappy weather we've had all week.   Today, I have a nice long list of things I plan on working on. I'm mowing the lawn, cleaning the basement, cle

Busy, Busy, Busy!

Yikes! It has been awhile, hasn't it?   For those of you that don't know this by now, I get up about an hour early every morning to take care of emails and other Site related stuff. I generally eat breakfast while doing this.   Then it is all day at work.   When I get home, I boot back up the computer and spend an hour or two taking care of email and posts on the site.   This is every weekday.   Weekends are much the same, except I don't have to go to work.   Lately,

2008 already?

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had fun. Is it really 2008 so soon? I am really starting to feel old! I'm now only 4 months out from turning 31. Yikes! I never figured I'd get this far.   There are a great number of things that I would like to get to this year. There is just so much stuff to do. Writing, site stuff, work, looking for work...   I'm getting a little tired of the same old boring routine. But I'm not sure I want to get out of the routine either.   Ugh.   Here's to

4 days off

I now have a nice 4 day weekend. I have a lot of things on my list of things to do. A lot of it is writing tasks. Keep your fingers crossed.   I will also be devoting a lot of time to playing Xbox 360. I think I will mostly be focusing on getting the rest of the achievements for Mass Effect. Though, I will also hit up a few other games.   I'm going to crash and start my day early tomorrow.

One More Day

There is just one more day this week of work. Thank God! There is so much junk food at work that you can't walk two feet without tripping over some. It's driving me crazy.   Tomorrow is the official office party. (tons more food) I spent the last two nights baking for it myself.   I will finally have some rest and relaxation time for myself this weekend. Except for wrapping the gifts, I'm home free for 3 of the next 4 days. I'm going to work on some writing and more Mass Effect gami

Yikes!

Today was a long long long day.   I'm about written out, because I had to do a lot of career type things. (resume, cover letters, stuff).   So, this is short and sweet.   Catch you tomorrow.   Myr

Every Which Way But Loose

Well. It has been one hell of a day today. Nothing bad happened. Nothing great happened. But the day moved along fairly quickly. Getting out of the driveway this morning was a grand adventure. I had to dig my way to my car. The snow was to my knees. The snowdrifts were to my waist.   I got stuck and had to rock my car back and forth a little. Once I was lined up, I had to pretty much gun it, cross my fingers and hope for the best. The fishtales of snow streaming out of both sides of

Shopping on Weekends... mmm

I try to avoid shopping as much as possible. On occasion though, I simply must go to the store. At times like these, I'm thankful for Wegmans. If you don't have one in your area, Wegmans is a grocery store chain here in the NY/PA/NJ area. They tend to cater to middle and upper middle class neighborhoods. They have also been consistently in the top 10 employers in the USA for the last 10 years. (including number 1). Anyway, they tend to have the higher quality teen males working for them.

Worshipping at the Alter of the Mouse

Well everyone... it hasn't happened in 14 years...   I'm going on vacation.   I will be worshiping at the Alter of the Mouse in sunny Orlando, Florida.   Please behave. I do not intend to be online at all and if anything happens that requires me to get called on vacation... let's just say that you will no longer be a member...   I have lots of plans and lots of stuff on tap for when I get back. I should be nice and refreshed after 9 days away from the Internet and depressing news. I a
