2022 was sort of a Blog/Tech-DeTox year. I spent the time mentally recovering from the craziness of the prior year that impacted the majority of peeps. One thing i had mentioned elsewhere is deciding i was pretty much over creating/selling NFTs. I didn’t even log into any of my crypto wallets/accounts! << THAT was a…

Avalon Lounge VRML world
I was cleaning up some directories on one of my older domains and i came across several of my virtual reality worlds. This is seriously old school stuff, though i’m surprised at how fun it was to get inside them and look around. The world i’m linking to in this post is called Avalon Lounge…
Connected? NOT!
Most in this lifestyle take being connected to family, friends, or employers like breathing… Well over the last five months of finding ourselves deep in a forest or up a beautiful mountain, and i’ve been turning purple holding my breath for the next dose of connectivity. I would get that dose once back in a…
Enjoy the journey
During the 2015 summer our two now-adult kids joined us on a camping trip. It was a fun and enjoyable mini-adventure to one of our favorite areas in the Pacific Northwest; Lower Falls Campground near Cougar Washington.

Oh wait, It WAS Aliens ; )
My wife and are admittedly addicted to watching every Ancient Alien episode that airs. I look up in the sky, knowing there are countless galaxies filling the heavens, and think there is no way we are alone. I think I’ve always been that way. Even through my crazyCharismatic Church goin’ days, I questioned the idea of a…
