Quick note: It’s been a while since I’ve posted on my site. 2020 and the first half of 2021 have been quite eventful, to say the least. When COVID shutdowns started, I went into hyperdrive cranking out videos and helping others with their tech needs. Then I transitioned into overseeing a major addition project on… Read More Fan Into Flames

Don’t forget about the mundane. While we are so often drawn to the grandiose, there is great value in the simple. Many years ago there was a great warrior and army commander named Naaman.
