AKA the weekly summary. Yes, it’s time I was more … regular … shall we say. […]
READ MORETime to turn over a new leaf. Because of changes in my life (and my wife’s) over the past 4 or 5 months, I’ve let things drop here on my blog. I’ve had time to recharge — at least I hope so — hence it’s back to regular updates. Let’s see how this goes… […]
READ MORESo, in general, every day I get in my car and drive somewhere. It could be taking the pup to doggy daycare, going shopping, nipping out to get some lunch, whatever. In doing so, because we live in a built-up area of Colorado Springs, there’s traffic lights and, if I’m unlucky, I’ll hit a red. […]

Still makes me laugh: selling a one-bedroom flat in London to buy a three bedroom house in Colorado Springs. […]
READ MOREThere are days when I just want to give up, there are so many scams going around. Yesterday, it was getting this in the mail: […]
READ MORESo, of late, I’ve been having real issues with my main laptop. Basically BSOD City. I’d be getting blue-screened ten or more times a day. Even to the point of when it auto-rebooted I’d get a “hard drive not found” error. […]
