Though I have tried to somewhat keep up with trends in technology, I am late in many ways with knowledge and application of technology, especially when it comes to personal devices. My kids, of course, are immediately handy with the stuff. Like with their cell phones - they can immediately take advantage of every feature the phone offers, while I still don't know how to use my speakerphone. And I have to read the manual to figure this stuff out, while they seem to instinctively know how to use it. Oh well.

As all of my two readers can tell, I haven't blogged since late August. One of the problems is that my job is very busy, I have four teenage kids who are all active, and I like to spend time with my wife. All the activity makes it hard to blog on a consistent basis, especially because to do so would require me to be in our family office, while my wife would be in some other part of the house. So I finally caught up with the 90's and bought a wireless router. We also bought a new loveseat for our master bedroom, in which I am comfortably ensconced even as I write. My wife is sitting next to me reading a magazine, and the TV is on ESPN. Am I a lucky guy or what?

So this will enable me to blog on a much more frequent basis, which will bring much relief to the many fans of my writing.

But it's late on a Friday night after a long and fun week, so this will be all for tonight. I'll write more tomorrow. Although writing intelligently (or at least intelligence as I understand it) can be hard work, I enjoy the mental exercise immensely. And besides, it is so cool to write something, have it psedo-published, and available for the world to read. Even if only two of its six billion inhabitants ever do.
