Maestro of the Tech Closet: Dad McMillan visits Palm Coast

Sensing that I was once again a reluctant pupil, he said, with a fatherly eye roll, “Or at least pretend to listen.”

My father, Dave McMillan, has traveled the country as a business consultant, staying at places like The Ritz-Carlton. This week, he was my business consultant, staying in my 5-year-old son’s bedroom (Luke was exiled to the couch).

I thought about that irony this week as I observed him hunched in the Observer office, working on a desktop computer crammed onto a wire shelf in a hallway closet.

My dad is retired and lives in Idaho, but he was kind enough to visit Florida and work with my staff for a couple of weeks.
