Several years ago, I (Chuck) decided to put up a small website. I had planned to do a lot with it, like blogging (before there were really blogs), putting up pictures of friends and family, having a virtual space to put my art online, and even to put up some poetry.
Really, really, bad poetry.
But then, as I got older, I found that there are those in this world who would use that against me. I also learned that there were a lot of people out there that I didn't really want to know so much about me. Essentially, the web became a big place, the kind of place that was no longer shared by a small community of geeks that really never had any bad intentions.
As time went on, I eventually stopped doing anything with the site at all, but I kept the domain name, mainly for e-mail, and it got to the point that I only ever actually visited the site to look at a number of bookmarks that I had posted there way back when.
Since the last time I really updated the site, a lot has happened. For one, I got back in touch with the love of my life, and we got married. To go along with that, I left my life in South Florida, moved to a little town north of Dallas, Texas, became a father, and bought a house. (Not in that order at all, but you get the idea.)
To top that off, I have transformed my job into a career, something that never really occurred to me to do when I was in my roaring twenties.
With all these changes, however, it became obvious that there are still a lot of people out there that I need to be better about staying in touch with, and Tara (my lovely wife, btw) and I decided to start putting up some of the pictures, stories and such that have become our lives.
Bear with us, as the site should be seeing a lot of changes over the next few months. On the other hand, I will not guarantee that we will be extremely vigilant at updating. I have no illusions that I tend to be lazy about such things, and I frankly don't really have the time to guarantee any real schedule in my working on this thing. Regardless, here is the new site, and we hope you enjoy it.
