My family, July ‘08
Some time back, I recall Lisa telling me that she pulls up this picture when she needs a quick pick-me-up. It’s a picture we had taken out at her mom and dad’s house in Tijeras. I’ve since taken up the habit. It works well for me too. So, here you go. You can see it too.

Thursday Inspiration: Yes, we can
I’m really finding myself in need of some inspiration today. I put the idea for an inspiration post on Thursday to help carry through the rest of the week, and have found that this week, it’s more timely than I could have ever imagined. This week has been one of the roughest I’ve had in awhile, but my pains this week don’t really compare to some. ( Read more... ) -
Struggling to find the words
I may come back and do a Working Wednesday post to try and keep the theme going (and I do have an idea for something to write on that theme), but I figure, for now, I should just put something out.

Retheming RandomThink.net (again)
Over the years, I’ve changed the look of RandomThink.net several times. It started its life as a Movable Type blog, and when they pulled their license fee stuff out some years back, I made the jump to WordPress, which I’ve been using for years, and with every major release, it seems like I wind up moving to a new theme.
Several times, I’ve tried ( Read more... ) -
Contact Info update
This is one of those times I'm going to switch icons, because I'm kinda sad as to what happened ( Read more... ) -
Great idea, odd name
I suspect a lot of my readers are aware of NaNoWriMo, which is short for National Novel Writing Month, ten years strong now. The idea is to write a novel over the course of the month of November, assessed by word count. I believe the eventual goal of NaNo writers is to reach 50,000 words. I’ve had friends try, had them fail, had the succeed, but no ( Read more... ) -
Finding reading material
I've realized that I've kinda lost the spark for reading lately. I don't know why. I want -- nay, I need something to get me back into it ( Read more... )
