What a time to be alive, guys. For sportscar enthusiasts, I haven’t felt this good since the 90s. There are many, many great sportscars currently on the market which is impressive given that fully electric vehicles have been around for over a decade, only gaining traction (no pun intended). Automotive purists have not thrown the modern ICE sportscar out to pasture just yet. The Future Dilemma, as a reminder, was the result of.. Read More
So shortly after my last post, I was rear ended in my silent automobile. I attribute my rear end damage a little bit to its silent nature–if I had a loud V8 perhaps I would have startled the attention of the driver behind me? instead, I slipped in traffic and attempted to turn left to my detriment… Madden 24 came out last Friday, 8/18/23. The rosters are updated and some minor adjustments were.. Read More
The featured image is from the November 6, 2022, Raiders-Jaguars game. It is not directly related to this post or anything… Just thought I’d share. I would consider myself to be pretty good at Madden at this point. I’ve been playing it fairly regularly for a couple of years and I am able to read many of the defensive cues. That being said, I am acutely aware of the fact this is a.. Read More
It’s been a while. I don’t have any excuses on this one, other than motivation has been waning on anything that is not work related and not sports related. Each passing year feels like I have less and less time for me and more time for “everyone else” instead. So its a new year, 2023. I’ve made it another year. I keep telling myself I need to watch the film “This is 40”.. Read More
This post has been a long time coming, and it is because I am still adjusting to the lifestyle change that occurs from being in management versus serving as a team lead. I did not expect the change to be this abrupt. I have not completely discounted that this could be correlation as opposed to causation, given that I still to this day adjust from my mother’s passing over two years ago. Nothing.. Read More
Here in 2022, I find myself in the midst of a considerable transition. About two months ago I officially sold my favorite car, my Honda Civic Type R, for a fully electric Tesla Model Y. I love everything about it so far. Featured image is from a local EV event held at TIAA Bank Field that I attended recently. In other news, I have switched gears from NFL towards NBA, cycling to a..

The free time I had a year or two ago is gone. I’m not entirely sure what changed, but I suspect the cycle that I’ve had my entire life is still at play. I always come into a new environment, prove my value, become a fixture and necessity, and ultimately discover that I am overworked. This cycle has occurred with me for years, likely decades, potentially my entire life. At this point in.. Read More
I’ve been out of pocket for a bit for a multitude of reasons. I would believe that the vast majority of these reasons are good. I was in a strange place when I began this website–going through a few things. You may recall this post around this time last year about the night drive: Well, the time has changed from daylight savings again so here we are… the weather is cool and it’s.. Read More
This weekend was surprisingly interesting for being such a non-event. Let’s run through it. Warning: this post will go all sorts of directions as I try to work out everything going on my life. Last weekend I was out of pocket for a family reunion primarily on my Mom’s side although I did spend much quality time on my Dad’s side as well. This was the first reunion after my Mom passed away..

This past week I learned what a clock spring (also known as spiral cable) is. For the past several decades I have been content with my ignorance, but not today! As I may have mentioned in past updates, I have been regularly commuting to work, something I was missing the past year and a half. One of my colleagues has been joining me in the office (making two out of a team of.. Read More
