Today I painted my interpretation of “Islands in the Wilderness”, based on Season 29, Episode #1 of The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross. It’s my best painting yet, in this post I wanted to write about my painting journey in 2022.

This year for Platinum Dance Nationals, we stayed with several other dance families at the Sheraton Panama City Golf & Beach Resort. This place has an amazing boardwalk/dock and a private beach, which offered some great photographic opportunities!
Behind The Shot: Strawberry Supermoon

Chase’s first march @ EHS Wildcat Stadium
The city of Enterprise takes high school football very seriously, and the Big Blue Marching Band is a huge part of the program. Just to get you caught up, Chase has been at band camp since July. He started with the rest of the freshman, down in the pit playing drums/keyboard, but halfway through campContinue reading “Chase’s first march @ EHS Wildcat Stadium”
First day of school 2019
We’ve been getting Chloe ready for school for about a year. Even though she has zero trouble getting up on stage and dancing with the Center Stage Dance Company, she is an introvert like her dad (hi!) and has a hard time with new people, especially in large groups. Tara has been working with herContinue reading “First day of school 2019”
Home Networking Upgrade
At the time of this post, we subscribe to Spectrum’s Ultimate Internet Package (300/10 Mbps). This package costs a bit extra but offers 3x the bandwidth vs the 100 Mbps base package. Since I work from home, it’s easy to justify the extra expense. To maximize that bandwidth, my office has a DOCSIS 3.0 MotorolaContinue reading “Home Networking Upgrade”
Band Camp 2019
Chase started by trying out for the drum line at the end of the school year. The freshmen are told beforehand, that the drum line is mainly comprised of upperclassmen, but they’re allowed to try out anyway. Chase and the rest of the frosh didn’t make it, so he was assigned to play on theContinue reading “Band Camp 2019”
The first day of band camp, the Class of 2023 orientation
Chase starts the 9th grade at Enterprise High School this fall. It’s hard to believe that he’s going to graduate in 2023!
2018: A Year In Review
I didn’t get around to posting a review for 2017, which was mega huge, since we bought a house, renovated it, and then helped launch a church. But since I’ve got a few minutes, here goes… Family life Wyatt (2), is a rambunctious toddler currently going through his terrible two’s. He loves dinosaurs, monster trucks,Continue reading “2018: A Year In Review”
Podcasting: Sound Like a Radio DJ
After listening to episode #265 of Shop Talk Show, where Chris Coyer mentioned he wanted to sound “like the guy on the radio”; I was compelled to share my knowledge of radio studios. I was in the broadcast industry for around 15 years, both as a DJ and eventually as chief engineer. I’ve built dozensContinue reading “Podcasting: Sound Like a Radio DJ”
Creating a Web Site: Design and Build Your First Site!
I wrote a book! My book guides young readers through the planning and development processes of building a website. It has been translated into other 2 other languages, and currently has a 4.5-star rating on Amazon.
2016: A Year In Review
I’m terrible at blogging (Instagram is just easier to post life events and memories too) so I figured I would write a “year in review” post instead. It’s lengthy, so let’s just get to it…
The Cold Flowchart
I love a good flow chart. While I had a cold recently, I went looking through our medicine cabinet at all the different pills and syrups…I was super confused by all the claims on the boxes. I did some research on what the best over-the-counter medicine was for each symptom. So, while laying in bed gettingContinue reading “The Cold Flowchart”
I bought a guitar
It all started in the third grade when I learned to play the trumpet. Throughout school and even shortly after I graduated high school I played that trumpet. Although I wasn’t “the best”, I really enjoyed making music.
Summer Vacation 2015
For our 2015 summer vacation, we reserved a campsite at Harrison Bay State Park near Chattanooga, Tennessee. My folks drove from Green Bay and we drove from Enterprise to “meet in the middle”. I wanted to record each day in the event that we wanted to “relive” the fun.
