TommyLog – National Honor Society Bound!

Yesterday I found out that Clara was accepted and is being inducted into the Little Chute chapter of the National Honor Society. How great is that?! So for today’s TommyLog I talk about that.

TommyLog TECH – Verizon 4G LTE Rocks #VZWBuzz

So as I try to fit the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 into my digital lifestyle, one of the features that I immediately found I’m falling in love with the most is the mobile hotspot. Verizon 4G LTE is simply amazing!  An example of this was a trip I took to western Wisconsin last week. My daughter Clara was in the state dance competition in La Crosse Wisconsin. The drive from Appleton La Crosse is three hours. I used my Galaxy Note 3 as my Wi-Fi hotspot for the entire trip. About 45 minutes into the trip, my AT&T signal dropped off. I had no service. Zip, zero, nada! Not true with Verizon 4G LTE. It worked all the way through. Both my son Tommy and my son Drew were streaming Netflix and YouTube the whole way.

For those of you who are interested, six hours worth of Netflix and YouTube streaming is about 8 GB worth of data. The more you know! ☺   While I was at the local Buffalo Wild Wings, I happened to run a speed test on the network. I got over 65 Mb download speed — WOW!! The network speed on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is totally “Tommy Approved”!!

[DISCLAIMER — I’m one of the cool kids who has been asked to play with and test technology for Verizon. They asked me test and share my thoughts. All my words are original and my own.]

TommyLog – A Broken Wrist

So what a great weekend. Clara had the most awesome dance competition at Kaukauna High School. Clara’s team won first place in Poms, first place in kick, and in first place in jazz.

The night prior, we had some pretty significant rain in the area in the parking lot turned to ice.

Sadly, as Madeline was going to see the awards, she slipped in the parking lot and fell and broke her wrist. I rushed back to the high school to get Madeline and take her to the emergency room. We went to St. Elizabeth Hospital in the care there could not have been better. Madeline has a slight fracture in her right wrist and will have to have a cast for the next 4 to 6 weeks.

All is well in the Clifford family.

I love being a dad!
