My Quest for Buried Treasure
So there we were enjoying a beautiful Spring day at the beach. The sun was shining. The waves were crashing. The smell of sand and suntan lotion wafting through the air.

Delete! Delete! Delete!
Dad’s been working really hard lately. Perhaps a bit too hard. He forgot the commands we taught him! The other day, Dad spent the entire morning using his dictation software to write a report for work. Needing a bit of a break to clear his mind, he happily leashed us up to take a quick […]
