Someone made a comment on the blog recently that I wanted to respond to. The post was I Hate You Dudley & Bob. The criticism of my song I don't have issue with. Honestly, the song contest was months ago and I've moved on. What struck me was the bit at the end: "When you... Continue Reading →
Trying Something New
There are days, and there are days. Most days are fine; however, some days the kid screams and whines all day. What you read was, "Oh, some days the kid whines a lot. Huh."

State of the Blog Address
I don't usually like to get "meta;" but since I put so much work into this project, after almost two months it may be time to stop and take a look at the state of the blog. I've attempted to develop sites before, though unsuccessfully. I created Small Doses back in the late 90's. This... Continue Reading →
