Knotty Pine On The Bayou Since we weren’t able to get our usual Fat Tuesday meal since Dee Felice’s closed down in Covington, we made a trip over to Knotty Pine on the Bayou to dry out their dinner menu. I’ve not been here in awhile. The restaurant is kind of run down but the …
My first post on my new technical blog! I decided to hash out my thoughts on a weekly blog instead of just micro-blogging on X/Twitter only. I want a place to recap and demonstrate my findings and studies so far on technology and write about it. I can’t say I’ll always be on another social …
Newport Aquarium We visited the Newport Aquarium recently for a birthday party and it was a lot of fun. I’ve not been to the aquarium in some years but we all enjoyed it. I would suggest really slowing down as you go through it because it’s rather small, but there is plenty to look at …
Cub Scout Skit Night We launched our first ever Cub Scout Skit Night. Skits and songs are a big part of scouting, and unfortunately often overlooked. I wanted to bring in a workshop to teach a few scouts a little skit they could do or song they could sing at our April Campout. Oftentimes younger …

COVID Strikes Again Yes, I have COVID. This is my second run in with the old Rona. I’ve not been too sick and feel much better than I did with the first go around. I didn’t even realize I had it until I started feeling a little disoriented and checked my temp to find that …
A Trip To Jungle Jim’s We honestly do not get up here enough. I typically only come up when I am getting low on my Asian receipt ingredients – things like Vietnamese beef pho base, Japanese seaweed sushi wraps, various rice noodles, and the various fresh vegetables that only Jungle Jim’s can offer. We also …
New Haircuts The boys received some fairly interesting haircuts. Ben in particular is interested in looking “handsome”. Everyone loves his haircut too. Every morning we can’t leave the house until I “style” it for him. I usually use warm water to brush it in one direction, then gel to mold it. He asks for it …
Data Engineering Skill Building I am working through my fifth year in my new area of expertise and I’ve decided to explore some additional technologies and skills as I pursue this career. It’s interesting the many paths I could’ve taken in life, but it’s been technology that’s held a particular fascination with me. After some …
