This is the personal blog of Walt White. I am a Drafter/Designer living in Berks County, PA. I have a fondness for Cigars, Photography, and Firearms. Take a look around and you may find something interesting regardless of how different your hobbies may be from my own.
Two weeks ago, I published a post talking about a rather stressful day that I went through and asked how you handled stress laden days. After getting some sleep, I woke up the following day still feeling a little on edge. Instead of starting off the day like I usually do, I decided to catch [...]
If you are a follower of mine on Twitter or a friend on Facebook, it would be of no surprise to learn that I like to have childish fun around my wife. At times it can be at her expense, but for the most part it makes her laugh. Admittedly, one of the main reasons [...]
Shortly after creating the Walt In PA blog, I wrote a piece on some plumbing trouble that I was struggling through. Since that post I have been lucky in that that I have only had to get involved in two other plumbing projects. Both projects, however, revolved around the same basic problem with my kitchen [...]
Last week I was scanning through my list of RSS Feeds when one of them caught my eye. While I am not an everyday reader of Copyblogger, I do read a couple of articles throughout the week. This time around, I saw an article entitled “One Foolproof Trick to Blast Writer’s Block” written by James [...]
As I’ve said in the past, I am a fan of Darren Rowse and ProBlogger. I subscribe to the ProBlogger RSS feed and for a fair amount of reading throughout the week. A couple of weeks ago, Darren had a guest post outlining the thirty bloggers to watch in 2010. The following week, he posted [...]
Have you ever had one of those days were you felt like something inside of you was just going to snap under stress? As I type this, I’m sitting in a room, alone, listening to soothing music on Slacker Radio. To go along with the music, I’ve got a CAO La Traviata burning in the [...]

I’ve got to admit up front, when it comes to certain things, I am a gullible guy. This really shines when taking into account Twitter and Facebook. There is part of me that says, “That really is the cigar manufacturer I know, not some paid employee acting the part” The more time I spend on [...]
Since getting married, my wife and I have started a Christmas tradition that many people probably share. A few weeks before Christmas, my wife begins to politely reminding me to make a Christmas list.

At the end of 2008, I decided that it was time to stop procrastinating and create a personal blog to use as an outlet for things that did not fit on Stogie Review. For months I had put it off, even though I had roughly two weeks worth of articles written and waiting. I decided [...]
A year or two ago, I was talking to my wife about needing a new coat. The one I was wearing at the time was a little too light for extended periods of time out in the cold. In most cases I was only going from the house to the car, then from the car [...]

The dog owners out there reading this can probably relate to how my night winds down. Before my head hits the pillow, my wife and I move throughout the house taking care a of a few things. We make sure the lights are all doused, with the exception of the light on our refrigerator door, [...]
One of the most appealing things about my personal blog, is that it can be anything that I want it to be. One week I can talk about books I plan on reading, and the next I can talk about dreaming about a crypt in my basement. The freedom of choice in regards to content [...]
