Change in Seasons, Change in Focus

Our family is firmly in the grip of our second child’s college search process…and as he is planning his transition to college, I have begun to plan my own transition. At the beginning of the school year, a small, insignificant thought began to tickle a little spot in the back of my brain…”maybe it’s time for you to change things up, to tackle something new.” The more I examined this thought, the more I realized that it felt — right.

A New Year Begins…

As I look out the window on this New Year’s Day 2014, I decide to finally get going on this blog. I enjoy writing but haven’t been able to get myself into the habit of writing daily. This is my attempt to do that. The topics will vary but mostly I’ll write about the intersection of tech and home.

During the month of January I’ll mostly think and write about the inevitable – getting and staying in shape, losing weight. This year I’ve decided to use some digital tools to help with that.
