I think I said that a couple of posts ago, but it’s still true. I have lots going on and nothing. If that makes any sense to anyone. I think someone at one time or another said, “It was the best of times; it was the worst of times.” I … Continue reading →
Thanks to TECH‘s insightful critique, you’ll be spared from experiencing my wimpy ending in Twilight. He took one for the team and highlighted many, if not all, of the places where Twilight leaves a reader wanting, and there are many. He did exactly what I hoped he’d do, and he … Continue reading →
In March, 2005, I had PRK surgery on my eyes. One year after the procedure, my vision had attained my pre-surgical best-correctable state: 20/15. Three years later, it’s slipped. The doc didn’t seem too concerned about it, but I am, getting a new prescription. Just slightly stronger, and it looks … Continue reading →
I know Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, hears this all the time, but he’s captured my world exquisitely in the storyline beginning February 12th. I’ve been living some version of this (at times multiple versions of this) for the last year. For me, it will end in early May. … Continue reading →

Yes, I was watching a TNT announcer interview Yao Ming last night, and he wished Yao Happy New Year — The Year of the Rat. Yup. I’m a Rat, and it’s my year. There’s a lot of good to read about Rats. Wikipedia has an interesting entry as well. I … Continue reading →
If all goes according to plan, the offending tree should be gone tomorrow. They should also have the roof repaired. Hershey gets to spend the day in the house. He’ll be happy. I spent the evening pondering potential investment moves I might make with one of my retirement accounts. I … Continue reading →
We haven’t figured out where, yet, but we will. Several of us are planning a virtual walk. We’re starting February 1, and we’re using pedometers (or other known tracking mechanisms) to log our steps during the day. I even created a progress bar for it. Due to progress bar limitations, … Continue reading →
