Memorial Day

I know most of us, myself included, are enjoying an extra day off today.  It is Memorial Day, and the timing of it coincides with the release of students from school, so it also kind of becomes the start of Summer, and there will be picnics and parties and all of that fun stuff.  But,…

The Makeover

Surprise!  If you haven’t been on for a few days, you’ll notice that Things Look Different.  FYC has undergone…A Makeover. It was time.  See, I’ve been lax in the past year and a half.  Really, really, REALLY lax.  No energy after work, mentally, psychologically, or physically. And then I realized it was all in my…

Mardi Gras

Happy Mardi Gras, world!  Greetings, from my desk, for I am at work. Just about everywhere else, save for New Orleans and other places along the Gulf Coast, today is just a Tuesday.  The same holds true where I’m at…but I’m doing the best I can.  I’ve got the Mardi Gras Parade Cam running, via…
