I found this great application to do websites that wind up being imo state of the art. I'm glad SRS asked me to do his site and I knew I'd wind up having to push the edge of my envelope to do him right since he himself has worked on sites in the past. The application and tools doesn't make it totally pain free and it's by no means simple but at least it gives back what you put into it unlike Frontpage and Dreamweaver which always seemed to take more than you gave it!

I'm working on a few site revisions at present which means I'm converting a few client sites from previous versions to the new modern updated technology so it'll be fun and well worth it for both sides, me and them.

On a personal note, I received my dad's invite to his birthday party which made me homesick and my sister sent me a pic of my father when he was a child for me to clean up and turn into a thank you card. It was great to utilize my skills from all these past years to do something subtle for dad. I made the 70+ year old picture look like it was taken yesterday and never been stuck to an album or folded.

My son turned 27 yesterday. The last I time I saw him I believe he was 15 or 16. Before that he was 2. Needless to say our relationship when he was a teen was less than close. I just didn't know or understand him nor did I have the patience. Regrets? In spades. Sure his mother was controlling and didn't allow him to visit until I nearly died back in 96 but still....

My dad's birthday is coming up the end of March and I really wish I could be there with the family to celebrate, but the timing just isn't right. I don't have peace leaving at this point and I have many projects to develop and bring online and update.

Enough for now. Time to break out my guitar and play some blues. At least I have something to say when I play tonight.

I'll add thoughts and issues I believe are relevant imo and what I feel is affecting us as a nation over the coming days and weeks so please bear with me.

It will start to get packed in here over time but we'll try to keep the blog house here organized and clutter free which is my own way of dealing with things if you get my meaning.

The old saying 'life is a beach, then you die' I plan on flipping the script on that age old mantra and get more beach time/prosperity for the family before I check out.

One thing I'm definitely going to do is go back home as often as possible. Not going home for all these years has definitely had an effect on me and I'm way past ready.

That's my dad in the photo. A Korean vet and my personal hero. Far from perfect but a real friend and an example of how a person can overcome and come out the other side if his heart is in the right place. He's everything I wish I was but am not or perhaps I lived the way he wished he'd risked trying to but took a different path. Regardless, our paths are parallel, we are different but the same in spirit.
