Need some input →
Hi folks, this is Adam. I hope Marie doesn’t mind too much that I hijack the blog to mix in some business. Just need to decide on a look for TimePoke, a time utility, and on a blog theme for my…

September means school days... →
I love Jaxson. I really do. But some days, I think I’d like to give him away. Jaxson has been “patiently” awaiting the arrival of first grade. I say it tounge in cheek because he has been asking…
