It has taken me a long time to figure out what adulting really is. Actually, it’s taken me a really long time to figure out how to post a blog on our website. Maybe that’s adulting? Figuring out how to do something that seemed to be so much easier as a kid. Although we didn’t have “blogs” when I was a kid. But if we DID have blogs when I was a kid, I’m sure I would’ve figured out how to do it in a snap. It probably would have just been second nature to me. I always used to laugh when “old people” (like, in their 40’s, ya know, real old people) would be impressed by my 11 year old gaming skills. They’d say, “How in the world does Jay do that so quickly, pushing all those buttons in that game, how does he know what to do?” I was just good at it. I assumed that I’d never be trying to play catch-up with technology because I could figure out pretty much anything on my own. I used to design websites when I was in my early 20’s. I knew how to create a web page from scratch using HTML. That may have been impressive then, but now in my upper 40’s the only thing I have learned, is that I have a lot of learning to do. Technologically speaking. So, for now, I am learning that adulting is actually trying to catch-up to technology. But don’t laugh at me, kiddos. I beat Super Mario Brothers and Super Mario Brothers 3! (Don’t ask me about SMB 2.)
Well, I posted a new blog on my own. Proud of me? Ok, I gotta go and shoot TikTok videos and play Fortnite. – Jay

Night Sweats!
I know it is summertime, and we have been dealing with some warm and humid weather conditions. I also know that the airflow in my house is subpar. Like many homes, the (cold) air conditioned air works its way to the basement, while the upstairs is much stuffier. Unfortunately, my bedroom is upstairs. I’ve actually […]

Woodstock 2029?
Netflix just released the new documentary highlighting the train wreck that was Woodstock 1999. Woodstock 1999 was commemorating 30 years since the original Woodstock in 1969. The two concert festivals were not held in the exact same location, which, according to the documentary, might have actually been part of the reason why it went so […]

Unread E-mails
I’m going to take a guess that most of us can relate to this topic. Having unread emails in our inbox. Maybe you have multiple email accounts with a bunch of unread messages. I have a handful of different accounts for different parts of my life, and right now the number of unread messages, in […]
