    If It’s Tuesday, It Must Be Ireland

    That’s an obscure reference to an old comedy, but it also describes our 16 day whirlwind tour of Ireland. We spent our first two days exploring Dublin on our own and recovering from jet lag (it was a long flight from LAX to London then London to Dublin and I can’t sleep on planes). We…

    It’s a new year, so time for a new post

    2025 has arrived like a shitstorm. LA seems to be burning up, and though the fires are far away from us, thank goodness, the emotional impact is still there. It’s like a collective holding of our breath waiting for the other shoe to drop as our world is on fire. But life, as always, goes…

  • Ctrl-Alt-Esc (aka reboot time!)

    Consider this the first post of a new blog. I’m still wrapping my head around the reality, but I retired! Okay, since I was a consultant a better way to phrase it might be that I didn’t renew my contract and we are still keeping the (virtual) lights on at our small business but for…
