Day 19,579
“A most notable coward, an infinite and endless liar, an hourly promise breaker, the owner of no one good quality.” – Shakespeare My insult game is a work in progress. I’m trying to up my game. I spend some time on social media, and you see certain conversations that break down into some pretty cliche …

Day 19,578
I’m smellin’ pretty smokey right now. As anyone with a reasonable knowledge of search engines can ascertain, I am a resident of Lawrence, Kansas. Part of the midwestern culture is the smoking of meats. I’ve embraced that aspect of our culture, and I like to apply a rub to a piece of meat, and smoke …

Day 19,577
For one reason or another, I’m kind of phoning it in tonight, but I’m trying to live up to the pledge I made. If I don’t stick to it and make it a good habit, I’m letting myself down. I know that the first time I skip, it will just make it easier and easier …

Day 19,576
Again, Dangerous Visions. I almost screwed up, but fortunately, I found myself thinking about my day, and my habit came bubbling to the top. I’ve made a commitment to write 200 words per day, and here I am. I’m actually feeling pretty positive at the moment (except for the cut in my right index finger… …

Day 19,575
According to the ol’ calendar on the wall, today is April 20th. In certain parts of the United States, that means today is 4/20. The origins of the term 420 and its association with cannabis advocates is easily researched, and here’s a bit from about that: “In 1971, Steve Capper, Dave Reddix, Jeffrey Noel, Larry …

Day 19,574
Oh, man. I almost missed another day. So, earlier today I wrote a long diatribe about the word “jingoism”. Its roots, and the nationalistic tendencies associated with it. And then my internet connection at work started acting up. I now have a much greater appreciation for the “save draft” button on my dashboard. I ha …

Day 19,573
This week I am back in the classroom teaching one of my old standby courses, Microsoft Exchange. It’s kind of crazy how this product has evolved since I first started working with the release candidate for Exchange 4.0 back in 1996. Back in those days, industry professionals pursued their MCSE – Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer certification …

Day 19,572
These dreams go on when I close my eyes Every second of the night I live another life – These Dreams, Heart I am facsinated by my dreams. I sometimes wonder about the source of such wondrous imaginings. I’m aware that physicists speculate that there might be an infinite number of parallel universes. If that is …

Day 19,571
I am a lucky, blessed man. Any number of my friends and professional acquaintances would likely be jealous of me for a simple reason. My dad is still around, 76 years old, and he’s my hero. He’s not without his flaws, and he’d be the first to admit to that, which is one of the …

Day 19,570
I am envious of beautiful lawns. Some folks have those lush, spectacular lawns that look like deep, dark green shag carpeting. The kind of lawn that screams, “Hey… come over… take your shoes off… let me reach deep between your toes and massage that toe gap… yeah, baby… you know you want to monkey foot the …
