The subject line is *not* missing a word. http://finance.yahoo.com/q/h?s=wldae and http://www.worldpilotlabortalks.com/ I flew my last trip into Taipei and haven’t seen an airplane since then. Luckily, they bought me a ride back to the states before they decided to start stranding people all over the planet. I’m on some kind … Continue reading
This isn’t the first time I’ve been through airline contract negotiations. This is, however, the closest I’ve been to a strike. At my last job, I quit (to come here) about 2 months before the strike. That strike was the longest major airline strike in two decades (89 days). The … Continue reading
As if I need to waste any more time on anything else… Maybe I’m a little slow, but I’m discovering just how addicting those stupid little puzzles are. Dang it. I bought a book here in Taiwan with 200 of them in it. Hopefully, I’ll have enough common sense not … Continue reading

It’s been 2006 here for over 12 hours… but in the Free State, there’s still almost an hour to go. I realize I haven’t updated my journal in the last several months. I suppose it’d be impossible to even do justice to an update. There’s so much to say and … Continue reading

I suppose, if you do the same things with the same people over and over again, you might not notice how truly interesting some people really are. The world is filled with interesting people. We get accustomed to the ones we’re around all the time, and sometimes miss the uniqueness … Continue reading
So many topics, so little time… But today, this one seems to be timely. There’s a lot that one person can do. But many accomplishments require more than one person.
