Man, what a great Ravens game! I ended up going to a Steelers bar to meet up an old friend of mine. The wings were solid, and the football was fantastic! Doesn't get much better than that. Watching that last Justin Tucker kick barely go through the uprights was easily the highlight of the week. I do think the Ravens will take the AFC North, and although the Ravens have defensive issues, I think the unit will get it together after the bye week.

In terms of site news, I am working on upgrading the site to use .NET Core 3 and Razor components. I also plan on uploading a game that I made a couple months ago with Unity.

Until next time!

This has been a wild week. After a week of hurricane preparation, and spending the day yesterday booking a hotel twice just to cancel it twice, we stayed at home for the hurricane. We went to bed knowing that the hurricane was a category 2. It was upgraded to a category 3 overnight! I even cranked down the AC, had a cooler with ice set, and several devices had a full charge. I was ready for a power outage (and I didn't want to dish out the money for a generator). Somehow, our power flickered but didn't go out completely. I think we might have had two power surges. I spent some quality time with my family too! But... at the same time I was watching the weather channel all day, waiting for a tornado warning.

We made it out alive and I'm happy about it! Gotta say though... I think next time we will just evacuate. It was stressful to watch the weather channel and Twitter feeds for the past 3 days. I feel like it also robbed me of a good labor day weekend. Oh well! All is good and the family is safe. Hoping to have a better weekend this weekend!

Also, speaking of outages, this site was down for about 3 or 4 days due to issues with my hosting provider for this web application. :\

Who else is ready for the season??? Ravens are looking great right now. I still worry about the WR position, and I am in the minority when I say that the Browns are going to be terrible this year!

Just wanted to write a quick blurb on here since I haven't for a while. My daughter is about 1 1/2 years old and at the point where she is saying some small phrases. As she was going upstairs for bed, she told me that she loved me after I told my son the same thing. It warmed my heart :). In terms of site news, I haven't been actively working on the site as of late, but I'm hoping that I will have some blog posts up soon.

I just recently came back into town from the Epicenter music festival up in Rockingham, NC. It was a good time! But I did learn to never eat seafood at the festivals. Lately I've been working on making some blog improvements, and those changes are taking a little longer than expected. I also bought dylanhoustonblog.com and rooktraders.com I definitely have some projects to get working on! I plan on posting some pictures from the Epiccenter festival soon. I'm also hoping that some of the changes I am making to the blog system will help expedite the opening of the "photos" page on the site. I'm off to go play Anthem now... hopefully it's a good game! Until next time!
