OMG! Where did my website go?!?!

I’m experimenting a bit with this site. One thing I’ve learned so far is trying to make just any ol’ plugin work with just any ol’ theme can really suck. That’s one reason the lightboxes for the photos I posted last night were coming out all funky.
So I’ve ditched the Spotlight theme (even though I [...]


300

All I can tell you is what I said to Mark as the credits rolled last night: “That was a whole lot of awesomeness!”


Cole Alexander

The most important function of this blog is keeping track of nephews and nieces. If only I had this thing back when the oldest of the next generation was born, I’d have a clue as to how old Jack is… I’m kidding, of course, he’s like 23 or 12 or something… I don’t know, the [...]

The tale of the orange water

Back from vacation… getting things done around work… getting finances in order… gee, what could possibly go wrong now? How about some dirty water coming out our faucets?
