The past few nights I have not been sleeping properly. A couple nights in a hotel and getting ready to go meetup with my team have led to some tossing and turning. This afternoon has been great though. Getting together with family and friends we went for a two hour hike through the woods toContinue reading “Should Sleep Tonight”

Jen and Ella were singing some Jordan Knight song tonight. Caile didn’t care for it so Jen warned her that it was the New Kids On The Block she was talking about. Caile replied That’s not the New Kids On The Block it’s just some old man.

Presenting WordPress
One of the goals I’ve been working on is to try and get out of my comfort zone a bit and start doing some public speaking. Being up in front of people is not overly fun for me, but I do see the good of doing it. One area where I can see me potentiallyContinue reading “Presenting WordPress”
