I do sometimes think there should be a license and an exam before people are allowed to use the Internet. I know most people “don’t use” email any more, because they’re all texting or using any number of other apps, but I looked at my Yahoo Mail account for the first time in a couple … Read more
Well, the world hasn’t healed and my foot hasn’t healed. I have been working at home for years, so the complete shutdown of the universe hasn’t really affected me. In a way, it’s a bit of a gyp – I get to just go to work like normal as people around me stay home, bitch … Read more
There is being cautious in the time of danger, and there is complete overreaction. This is the latter. We have lost our collective minds. We have had Ebola, SARS, Swine Flu, the regular flu, and Lord knows what else in my lifetime. There is a new, unknown threat every two years (conveniently consistent with election … Read more

(I really miss Kip’s Big Boy, but I … Read more
A long weekend for a short plant.
I’ve been in Dallas most of my life, and as much of my travel has been for business, I usually visit cities that are relatively easy connections. However, visiting the relatives can be a different story. I speak of two of my favorite “cities”, Cedarville, Ohio, and D’Hanis, Texas. Editor’s Note: This is a filtered … Read more
The job search continues. It’s been a bit busier lately, but nothing of substance yet. There were a couple that were close, but not close enough.
