- Living, learning and searching for where I belong in life. This blog chronicles the ups and downs of my life. From home improvement, my never ending job search, parenthood, education to running a small business. I'm a student of all, but a master of none. If you have a question, I might have an answer for you, or know where you can find it. Magic is my middle name, Btown is my home, and knowledge is what I'm always seeking.

We happened upon Gillham (Gil for short) while at the Fun Frolic in 2007. We decided to play the “win a bunny” game, only because it said you could win an alternate prize. Over the almost 3 years we’ve had … Continue reading

I am currently in NYC with my wife who has a conference with NAGAP. While she’s busy, I’m at play exploring Manhattan. I’m taking many pictures and will write a blog explaining my adventures.
