This July 7th, Becky and I stepped foot in Edinburgh Scotland. It is kinda surreal with it gray overcast and old architecture. We were there to look into some family history records.
My dad, Hugh Jr. (also son of Hugh Jr.) and his sister took a trip to Scotland some years ago.

The Hugh Jrs (Both were Hugh Jr. and didn't know it. Well the younger one knew he was a Jr.)

I was exploring the internet and I found a really cool plug-in in for WordPress. This plugin lets one define specific sets of plug-ins they want to repeatedly download for deploying websites. This is awesome! WordPress Install Profiles. Work smarter.
In high-school I played Chess on a clock… twice. But I also played Bughouse Chess. I was looking at Chess variants and I found a three man Chess variant I think I would like to play. It is played on a round board… how cool could that be?
