Fratelli’s Deli, Kingston

ByDMcA May 7, 2011May 9, 2011

My favourite Italian Deli in Kingston This post is really here to demonstrate to myself the ability of WordPress to make posts (with snaps!) from my  Android tablet. And I happened to be having a coffee at Fratelli’s when the thought to make a post hit me. But while I am in situ, let me…

What happened to the old mcaughtry.com?

ByDMcA May 7, 2011May 8, 2011

I started mcaughtry.com in 1999 and used the best software at that time – FrontPage from Microsoft.  As web design software it was very powerful and allowed me to use neat features like frames, and inbuilt spreadsheet clips and so on.  After I had built the basic design, it was relatively easy for me to…

Latest News September 2021

“Still alive and able to get about quite well” is the overall report.  We are all fine, albeit with the usual ups and downs.  The site has been spiffed up a bit, and should be faster and easier to navigate.  I might even put some new content on – see What’s happening? for more info.

On other fronts, I think my photography techniques and images have improved quite a lot  over the last 4 years, and I have discovered a fascination for the technical and technique challenges of photographing birds in flight.  Have a look at mcaughtry.photo to see if you agree.  I have also discovered the delights of artisan coffee, and have built a spiffy state of the art digital audiophile music system, all of which I may write about in the future. So no shortage of things to interest or infuriate me.

But most of all my life has been enriched and inspired by my two beautiful and funny grandchildren, 5 and 2 years old as I write.  Why couldn’t I have been like this when I was their age I ask myself?  I am privileged to know them and my heart skips on each encounter.
