My Grandfather, Joe Owen, passed this afternoon. He was my dad’s dad. Now I am down to one Grandfather, a sign I am getting older. I understand the way things work and that all things are made to work for God’s plan and glory. I was also not surprised by his passing. It happens when we age and mature that our elders will hand off the baton as it were to the next generation. I feel great sorrow for my family though. My Grandma, Dad, aunt, uncle and cousins who will be there to comfort each other.

I want to offer my shoulder, my ear or just my presence and company for anyone who can’t make it up there right … Click to Continue →

Yes, it is both sad and true. It has been over 3 months since my last post and by my count almost 6 since I posted anything of substance.

  • The farmer needs land (office), seed (money), and provisions until the season bears fruit. The fisherman just needs his net (tools) and skill.
  • The farmer’s time to produce is measured in seasons (months). The Fisherman’s time is measured in tides (hours).
  • The farmer is bound to the land he toils (employer, or project). The fisherman is bound to the fish (the work and the people). If the fish move, so … Click to Continue →

I have been neglecting my writing here for a few really bad reasons. The primary one is my mad obsession with tweeting. No really. I tweet for social reasons (of course) and for work. I am looking for work, promoting projects and even promoting sites or causes in which I believe. You can see most of my posts on this site, or via my Facebook or Linked-In pages. Yes, yes its true. I really do need the attention.

Lately, I have cut back on my writing. I am no longer writing the Travel Logs and I am not working at Big Green or the sticker company any longer.  I am officially an out-of-work nerd and techno-weenie. Yet, I have … Click to Continue →
