Be like water my friend

About Me

Helping my son with school & the mysteries of life (not just those mysteries... lol). Saving the world, one computer at a time. Always in the mood to support local music. Making time to play guitar & cycling (coastal mostly... I like the coast) again. With Spring/Summer coming, time for new activities. That means Earth Day Faire & time to hit the waves. Body surfing or Boogie boarding coming soon as the water warms up.
