Greetings, Programs
Welcome to my blog.
This website is an attempt to write ideas down so I can refer to them later. If someone else finds these ideas useful, then I am glad.

The Books I Read in 2025
2025 was a good year. I got to visit my family in Canada this summer which is always such a treat. They are all doing great. My family here in North Florida are also doing great. My wife and I have been accepted by the feral cat in the barn. She still doesn’t trust us, but she is willing to allow us to feed her. In January we survived “The Blizzard of 2025” where we had 5 inches of snow for a week. Quite exciting, but we are glad it only happens once every 25 year.
My work life was busier than usual this year. This greatly reduced my time for writing blog posts and reading books. But the client I work for now is great and I enjoy the work very much.
Here are some of the books I read this year.
