Life is all about adjusting. From the moment you are born, you have to adjust to the world and people around you. WIth my new job come some big adjustments, and I find myself missing my baby girl a little more these days.

The Choices You’ll Make
Life is all about making choices. Some are tough. Some are not. Some are complicated. Some are not. Some have consequences, others encourage you to keep making them. In the end, it’s up to you to grow up and accept what happens.
“Talk Less. Smile More. Don’t Let Them Know What You’re Against or What You’re For.”
Literature and the arts have a lot of lessons to teach us about life and how we should (or could) live. I recently listened to the soundtrack to the play about Alexander Hamilton’s life, and the lessons were very interesting. Talk less, smile more? Maybe. But you also need to speak up against injustice. You need to stand for something, or you’ll fall for almost anything.
You Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Badges
In which I finally understood why I wanted to wear my work badge outside of work all that time…
The technology you’ll use and abuse
Someone on the radio was saying the other day that we humans are not biologically ready for all the technology that we’ve developed in the last couple of hundred years.

The confirmation of Brett “Hold My Beer While I Grope Her”** Kavanaugh has made them really scared of the very real possibility of things regressing when it comes…
The Social Media You’ll Use (And Abuse)
Face it. You didn’t know how to use Facebook when you first used Facebook. In fact, I’m willing to bet that you don’t know how to use Facebook right now. You thought that it would be a great place to keep in touch with friends and family, and that you’d love having that constant stream of information flowing your way…
The Safe Spaces You’ll Need
I don’t know how I get myself into these arguments with people, but I seem to do it all the time. I just gently walk up to them and say something — anything — and I end up being swallowed into a discussion about politics, science or religion. It’s like sneaking up to an alligator and expecting the outcome to…
