I fell off the wagon—the blog post wagon. However, all is not lost, as I have been busy. The sad thing is, there were so many things I wanted to write about between then and now, and well, now, it’s too late. Emily graduated from first grade, I turned 40, we went on two cruises,…

Western Elite, a dumpster company, creates a magical Christmas wonderland at their Alamo headquarters annually. It’s a month-long private event, and usually, we can’t get tickets. This year, we did. What they put on for free is very cool. Several kid attractions include carriage rides and small train carts pulled around by a tractor. They…

Our big biennial company Christmas party this weekend, and my social anxiety is peaking. I’m not too fond of events. I have always been this way, but it’s gotten worse since I became self-employed. That’s also when I learned my introversion is all over the spectrum. When I worked for Levy, I carried the room.…

Every year, we go to Disneyland. We have been doing it since Kelly and I met in 2005. In the first decade of our relationship, we went all the time. One year, we went 11 times. Disneyland parks were a big part of our relationship and most certainly our favorite vacation destination. For Kelly, it…

A big group of us saw the new Trolls movie during opening weekend. We loved the first movie and liked the second movie. Most of us only liked this third movie and Kelly absolutely loved it but more on that later. One thing I want to note for prosperity is we cannot see a movie…

Growing up as a kid in the 80s, my first experience with video games was in an arcade. I don’t remember the first time I played a game, but I have early memories of my mom taking me to 7-Eleven to play Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat while she played the slots. Like many kids,…
