My family is headed to Disney World tomorrow. It's got me thinking about how much fun we had on our Disney Magic Cruise earlier this year and looking forward to a new adventure.  #disney #disneyworld #disneycruise

Once again, I found myself updating to something that wasn't the latest. Here's why I updated to an Apple Watch Series 10 instead of a Series 11 this month.  #AppleWatch #Series10 #TechReview #GadgetLove https://jswordsmith.com/apple-watch-series-10-in-2025/

My family is headed to Disney World this weekend. It's my 1st time in over 35 years, and I'm intimidated. It's so vast.  I had so much fun on our Disney Cruise that, as scared as I am, I'm looking forward to it.   Anyone have any tips for first timers?

I didn't need to update my Apple Watch, but a good deal came that made me jump at last year's Apple Watch as an upgrade. Here's my impressions to updating to the Apple Watch Series 10

We're getting closer and closer to Halloween. Here's a simple #HauntedHouse #shortstory to help you get those hairs raised on the back of your neck.

I have this one spooky story that I wrote last year, but never went back to edit. I've been trying to rewrite it this month, but I just can't seem to get over that hump because of illness or kids or whatever. Really hoping I can steal some time today to make some progress.

Just because there's a new #iPadPro out, doesn't mean older iPads aren't great. Last summer, I bought an M2 iPad Pro instead of an M4 to save money, and it's still a great iPad today--despite being two generations old. 

A quick 1-minute #microfiction horror story I wrote. What's behind the door at Allison's house? Carla shouldn't find out because the only rule when you stay at Allison's is you don't open that door.  #amwriting #shorthorrorstory #readers

Reminder to contact your representatives after the protest yesterday. Many of these MAGA ones think Trump gives them power, but yesterday should scare them. Remind them that you have power and voice.

I feel sad to the people that can look out at the "No Kings" protest and say things like "They were paid to be there" or "Antifa snowflakes" and can't stop and look at what is happening and question if they are on the right side of history. 1/

Being a stay at home dad is weird. Some of the things that really annoy me about being a dad are also some of the things I’m most proud of. Like playing with my kids. I love doing it but I do it so much, it annoys me when they can’t go play by themselves.
