    On The Road … For Self-Discovery

    ByWayne Willis August 27, 2011January 25, 2018

    After the wedding, reception and honeymoon in July of 1971, I took a “leave of absence” from the New Haven Police and set off on a long road trip with Steph.  I had NO IDEA what I wanted to do “when I grew up.”   I knew the PD wasn’t for me, and I no…

    Moving To The Cloud, Bird by Bird

    ByWayne Willis August 20, 2011March 10, 2018

    Deb and I took a “hike” in our favorite park in San Jose — Alum Rock Park. Walking by the Youth Science Institute, pictured here on the right, we noticed a lot of activity taking place in the park next to the YSI building Here’s what we saw: It looked like a group of girls,…

    A Nice Friday

    ByWayne Willis April 9, 2011March 10, 2018

    Up early, stalking the wild iPad 2 — which is in such short supply that you have to line up before the store opens to see if you can get one when the store opens at 9 AM. These folks were the first in line at the Palo Alto store, on University Avenue, and they…
