For any folks visiting this site as a result of receiving junk mail supposedly from me, I would like to apologize. Some dirty bastard spammer(s) apparently got my e-mail address and started using it to spoof the sender on outgoing messages. Over the past couple of weeks, I've received a bunch of bounce/undeliverable messages for things I didn't send. So if you received something supposedly from me, I'm sorry about that. I've taken some steps to try to reduce the possibility of folks receiving junk messages supposedly from me. While no solution is perfect, I'm hoping these steps will help. Thanks in advance, and again, apologies.
New Site
- Details
Hello everyone! I know it has been quite a while since I've updated...well...anything on this site. Been busy with many different things: work, home remodeling projects (some of which I'll detail here on this site at some point during this millennium), and some travel. In fact, I've been so busy (and perhaps a little unmotivated?) that I have a trip story and a bunch of photos from my September 2012 trip to England and Scotland that I still need to finish and publish at some point!
So what got me off dead center to get a total site upgrade/migration done? Well...the old version of the site was declared old and unsecure by my hosting provider. They said they'd continue to let the site operate, but if the site were hacked and became a problem, they'd suspend my account. Luckily that didn't (hasn't) happened, but I've been thinking for a while that I needed to upgrade to a later version of the CMS I use to manage the content on this site (Joomla!). I was on an old platform that was the latest and greatest when I initially deployed this site several years ago, and while I kept it updated and patched, they eventually moved on to newer versions and essentially stopped supporting my version. I hemmed and hawed about it, procrastinating and putting it off because I knew it was going to be a LOT of work - especially where my named, commented and geotagged photos were concerned. Well, the notice from the hosting provider finally got me off dead center, and viola! Here's the new site on the latest and greatest version (available right now, anyway) of Joomla! I took the opportunity to redesign my logo, and the site has a new look and feel. Unfortunately, though, it still has most of the same, boring and mostly useless content as the old site. 
I'm still working a few kinks and bugs out, so bear with me.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the new site and its new look and feel. I know I always promise to do better about keeping content fresher and more up-to-date. I really do try...when I feel like it and/or have the time. I'll do my best to get the England/Scotland trip story and photos posted soon, as well as get some info up regarding my recent home remodeling projects. Until then...
Med Cruise

My big vacation for 2010 was a 12-day cruise of the Mediterranean. I joined my folks and 12 other people on this fantastic trip, and it was definitely a trip of a lifetime! We visited six countries during our 17-day trip: Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Greece and Turkey, and saw some amazing places, experienced some incredible history, and met some fantastic people. I've finally finished the trip story and photos from the trip. Please feel free to read - and see - all about it! By the way, the relatively new photo gallery software I'm using on the site allows a whole host of new functionality compared to the old stuff, including commenting of galleries and individual photos as well as geotagging. With that and the help of Google Maps, you can see with (in most cases) good accuracy where I was standing when I took a particular photo. I've updated all of the pictures from our 2008 Italy trip with the new features as well. Enjoy!
