I'm glad to say that I finally read one of the books that's been on my Want-To-Read list for a long time, 1984, by George Orwell. So what did I think about it?

I’m A Friend With Facebook Again
I'm not sure how to say this. This is a post that I've felt I needed to share but I've been reluctant to. You see, back in March, I deleted my Facebook account.

I'm kind of into words. Understanding definitions is something I sort of geek out on sometimes. Almost every day, I use a dictionary and thesaurus app. My brain really likes to know the nuances of meaning between similar terms such as productivity and creativity. Context can give clues, but I still like to resort to … Continue reading Geeking Out On Words
Our Family Cruise Vacation
My family of 7 went on a 7 day cruise in the Caribbean! We returned last Sunday, sailing from April 1 to April 8. Our ship went from Galveston, TX to Cozumel, Belize, and Honduras. My wife and I, with our 5 sons, shared two adjoining staterooms with balconies aboard the Carnival Breeze--a fun ship! … Continue reading Our Family Cruise Vacation
