I was up at 02:00 am to take mother-in-law and her sister to airport. I am really tired; I suspect getting up too early is worse than going to bed too late. What's really rough though is to go to bed too late AND get up too early ! I'm way too old to do …

Tired as a very old dog today. I stayed up 'til past midnight which of course was very irresponsible (but I'm not perfect) So this morning I drove to state college to visit my daughter and we went to the Grange Fair, so of course I am exceptionally tired now....

Wednesday recap…..

A great start this morning; a nice 2 mile walk. Things quickly devolved when I got to work. I had to wrangle a really large spreadsheet which proved to be more than I anticipated; worked on it all day and will continue tomorrow. I hate those hit and run jobs when I already have plenty …

My Friend Dated My Rapist is the personal story of a woman who was raped at a dorm party in her freshman year at college. She tells how she tried to ignore it by burying it deep in her mind but eventually found some degree of relief from the pain by speaking up and telling …

So I was poking around in the break room refrigerator this morning; just to see what was there. I saw a jar of funny little round things. A closer looked revealed that they were "Capers". I've never had one, in fact they look like something you shouldn't eat. So what the hell are they anyway …

It’s coffee time….

A hot summer day at a family outing in the park. The kids was playing in the creek. I noticed the current pulling Leah down stream. I yelled "Leah!" and springing into action I took a flying leap into the creek where I was met with the cold reality of a hardwood floor. Ouch ! …

Not what you think ! I'm referring to your mobile device.... This is your brain on mobile:  A critique of destructive smartphone habits diagnosed by someone that makes a living off of them.  

I have confidence in me

I make Excel spreadsheets to document personal property claims and to be honest, I am damn good at it. I know my way around Excel. So what would I like to be better at ? Let's start with being a better Excel geek... I could learn more about the statistical functions, pivot tables and the …

Weekend recap…

All in all a good weekend. I got some work done for the office and made it to church today. So i'm happy in spite of wasting too much time in IRC on Saturday....

Coffee time went into overtime this morning. Just finished breakfast. Lunch time now consisting of hard salami, Swiss cheese on a hard roll topped off with a Kandy Kake. Then I better go lurk and prowl somewhere lest I should while away the entire day lost in cyberspace.....

Remember man, you are dust and to dust you shall return. Death is my constant companion and your's too. I suppose that may sound melodramatic but think about it; it's the plain truth. So why am I contemplating my mortality today ? It's still Christmas, not Ash Wednesday ! The reason is that I had …

The car next to me at Wal-Mart; some guy was crawling all over a girl, chewing on her face ! Looked like her pants was about ready to come off ! I had to turn my head to avoid burning my eyes.....

Just another day….

Today is a day like any other. I fixed some breakfast, let the dogs out, did some readings. Just a typical Sunday more or less.... But it's not really a day like any other, today is the 10 year anniversary of another day that started out as a day like any other but soon became …

Earthquake….

I was standing in my kitchen and felt a sudden shake of the house, lasted only a couple seconds. I went outside to look around and saw nothing. So I concluded that it was my imagination. Wrong ! A it later my daughter called and asked about the earthquake, then I checked twitter and it …
