I don’t deal well with the prospect of death. Especially the untimely death of a child. I avoid funerals, have yet to come to terms with the thought of even my own mortality, and I certainly can’t sit through one of those gut-wrenching commercials raising donations for suffering children in the amount equivalent to the(…)
After only one week with the DJI Phantom 4 quadcopter, I am hooked. The output is outstanding and the possibilities seem limitless. I wanted to share just a couple of this weeks efforts with you.

“In a perfect world,” I wrote, “you have the Pampers semi truck pull up to our Dad’s Night Out/Diaper Drive event at 6:30 PM. The side gates roll up, as if by magic – confetti and balloons set aloft – and a team of Santa’s elves unloads pallet after pallet in a seemingly endless parade(…)
You know all of the festive Holiday jingles. Sing em’ with me. “♪ It’s beginning to look a lot like REPEAT, ehhhverywhere Dubs go…♫“ “♪ Ohhhh holy crap, the Warriors are off to the greatest season start in all four major sports historyyyyy…♫” “♪ All I want for Christmas is for Steph Curry to continue to(…)
Back when I was still knee-high to the grown folk and living with my mom, “Back East”, as us Californians call it, I spent the majority of my days playing “Dinosaurs” in an unforgettable forest of sorts, in a giant park called Providence. I’d cross the street from our apartment and descend the gravel path,(…)
