A cheerful family of four is posing for a selfie on a sunny day, set against the backdrop of the rocky, grass-covered hills of Red Rocks Amphitheatre. From left to right: a smiling woman with brown hair wearing sunglasses and a dark gray top, a young woman with blonde hair wearing a black T-shirt, a smiling man with light brown hair wearing sunglasses and a black T-shirt, and a young girl with brown hair wearing heart-shaped sunglasses and a gray T-shirt with a colorful print. They all look happy and relaxed, enjoying the scenic view and pleasant weather.

My “North Star”

It’s a dumb business term, but I’m going to use it.

My oldest daughter just turned 19. šŸ‘¶šŸ¼

FuzzMartin.com is 21ā€¦and a half. šŸø

This site started as a blog back in February of 2002. That was before social media (MySpace started on August 1, 2003). It was at a time when the late night shows used to poke fun of ā€œbloggers.ā€ It was also before I had a clear direction on life.

Iā€™ve since deleted the deep thoughts that used to grace this site. (That said, yes, West Bend does still need an Olive Garden.)

FuzzMartin.com went dormant for a few years as I changed careers, my family life changed, and my interest in blogging waned. But nowā€¦ weā€™re back, baby.

Setting Course

Iā€™ve struggled with which direction to take this site for awhile. Between my professional, nonprofit, and personal life, Iā€™ve got my hands in a lot of things. Thatā€™s not to sound self-important, but all the business influencers tell you to pick a direction and focus solely on that.

And while I would love to, thatā€™s not who I am.

Starting now, Iā€™m going back to my roots. FuzzMartin.com is going to again be a place for friends to read my thoughts if they want (or not if they donā€™t) on things related to my life.

Iā€™m not going to try to be someone else. Iā€™m not going to try to cater to a certain audience. If you would like to follow/subscribe to this site, I appreciate it. If you donā€™t, itā€™s totally your call.

There may be notes on politics. There might be some reviews. It might be some project Iā€™m working on in the yard. It might be about what Iā€™m drinking tonight. Heck, I could even have some photos from a recent family trip. Who knows!? But this website will now be related to my life and not trying to fit into a certain niche.

Which is to say, there will be more articles here more frequently.

Thanks for subscribing!
