About
Welcome and thanks for visiting. My name is Karl and I live Maryland, USA. I’m a husband and father of two kids. I work for the federal government as an IT Specialist/Project Coordinator. When not working, I like to read and play games (mainly on PlayStation). I’m a hobbyist photographer and guitarist though I have been slacking on both.
I’ll be sharing whatever is on my mind . Thanks for visiting.

Andy Williams famously sang the song “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year”. Other artists have done their own rendition over the years but the lyrics are the same. It’s the most wonderful time of the yearWith the kids jingle bellingAnd everyone telling you be of good cheerIt’s the most wonderful time of the…

I got into NASCAR racing in 1993 when Coach Joe Gibbs of the then Washington Redskins started a NASCAR team. I didn’t know much about NASCAR back then. I didn’t know any of the drivers, the tracks, or the races. As I began watching, I really got into the sport and began to know who…

Cellphones have become a instrumental part of society. They are not far from people or constantly in people’s hands. My kids are glued to theirs a lot more than I care to admit but I would be a hypocrite if I said I was glued to mine as well. It’s amazing how the technology continues…

Do I prefer the beach or mountains? I have a complicated answer for that. At least in my mind it feels complicated. The beach brings some level of happiness and relaxation.

What have you been putting off doing? Why? There have been too many things I’ve put off that need to get done. Too many to list and too many excuses on why. I’ve tried not to beat myself up and focus on small or baby steps. Making small progress. Unfortunately life gets in the way…

I’ve been working in the US Federal Government for the past 24 years. In the first 10 years, I was a contract employee then I flipped to a full time government employee. Since becoming a permanent employee, it feels like every year there is a threat of a government shutdown. Congress can’t get their act…

It was 1986 and I was in 4th or 5th grade if memory isn’t completely failing me. On that January 28th, I vaguely remember the events of that day. I didn’t have many friends and practically lived in my own little world. I didn’t really pay a lot of attention to the news at that…

As I get older, living a more healthier life has become more of a priority especially given my family history along with my wife’s recent health issues. There was a time I wouldn’t go to the doctor unless I was really sick. I put off going to the eye doctor and the dentist too. Who…

Yesterday, was my 48th birthday. It’s hard to believe when I type that or think that I’m 48. I’m not sure why. I’m sure my mother can’t believe it either. Her birthday is 2 days after mine which would be tomorrow as of writing this blog. Birthday celebrations were not a big thing for me…

In reading this topic, the very first thing that popped in my head was not taking life so seriously. It’s a trait that I still have today and ultimately got passed onto my kids. There are a bunch of other lessons that I wished I learned like spending more time with my dad, having a…
