I'm thinking about my father a lot lately.

William F, Hoffman, Jr., "Bill", beloved husband, father and grandfather, 91, died Tuesday, July 28, 2020 in Huntley, Illinois. He is survived by his wife of 67 years, Dorothy, his children; Bill and Karen Hoffman, Cheryl Price, Karin and Jerry Edwards and Jim and Sharon Hoffman, his grandchildren; Bill and Kara Hoffman, Rachel and Jacob Vaughn, Michael Hoffman, and John and LeeAnn Price, and a great-grandchild, John Price.

I'm anything but a professional programmer, but occasionally, I make stuff.

There's still time to fix some mistakes.

Make no mistake, mental health has always been an important issue for me.

Maybe this is a good year to skip fireworks.

Yeah, I'm talking about depression.

I always seem to have more expenses than money.

Everyone's IT budgets are shrinking this year, and probably next year, too.

Buckle up, this might be a bit of a bumpy ride.
