The Third Half

A Universe of Books and Work by Norman Lewis Lambert Jr.

Hi, I’m Norm Lambert. For more than five decades I’ve lived three lives at once: epoxy technical director, author and poet, and husband/father/grandfather. People keep telling me you can’t have three halves. I tell them math doesn’t get to run my life.

The Three Halves of My Life

1. Family

I’ve been married to my wife, Debby, for over fifty years. She is the love of my life and the quiet center of everything I do. The books, the websites, the tech, the late nights – all of it is, in one way or another, a love letter to my family.

2. Epoxy

I’m the President & Technical Director of Epoxy Systems, Inc. — better known as Epoxy.com. Since 1980, I’ve been helping people solve real-world problems with chemical-resistant floors, coatings, and repair systems. If you’ve ever called Epoxy.com for technical support, there’s a good chance you already know my voice.

These days, a lot of the “how-to” lives at Epoxy.Tech, where we’re building clear, field-tested guides to help installers and owners get it right the first time.

3. Writing

Somewhere along the way, the technical writer discovered he was also a poet and storyteller. I write love poems for Debby, children’s adventures like Seven the Cyber Cat, and larger universes of fiction that play with time, memory, and love that refuses to quit.

You’ll find that side of my world at author.normlambert.com – the author site where we gather the books, the series, and the stories still in progress.


A Time Capsule from an Earlier Me

If you’re curious, there’s an older version of this site still living on the server. I built it years ago when I thought the way to prove I belonged was to list everything I’d ever done and polish every sentence until it squeaked.

Today I look at that page the way you look at an old photograph: a younger man working hard to convince the world – and himself – that he measured up. I’m grateful to him. He got me here. But I don’t need to sell myself quite so hard anymore.

If you’d like to see that “time capsule” version of Norm, you can still visit it here:

A Final Word

I’ve spent my life trying to make things stronger – floors, buildings, families, and stories. If something you find in this “Third Half” helps you build a better floor, a better project, or even a better day, then this site is doing its job.

Welcome to the Third Half. The math doesn’t work, but the life does.
