The last month has been tough. I’ve been in a perpetual state of overload. It hasn’t gotten to the point (yet) where something’s ‘broken’, but it’s been close on a couple of occasions. Now I’m in Atlanta for a week of my annual recurrent training (fun fun fun). The overload … Continue reading
Much of life is a matter of perspective. I’ve been meaning to reply to some comments made in my journal and made in response to comments I’ve made in other peoples’ journals, but I’ve not had the opportunity to do so. It’s ironic that today I experienced an excellent illustration … Continue reading
It’s not often I have a bad day. I’m just a pretty happy go lucky guy. Even when the world is falling apart around me, I just kinda press on and try to be happy about it. But yesterday was pretty frustrating. I’ve been working on a fairly large direct … Continue reading

Have you been naughty or nice? Santa’s on his way, ya know 😉 I heard today of some people who were naughty. I’m not talking the victimless-crime type of naughty, either. I’m not inclined to talk about the details, but let’s just say I hope Santa brings them a one-way … Continue reading
Those words shouldn’t go together. Cold isn’t beautiful. But maybe from my 72 degree vantage point it is. Don’t get all excited. I’ve lived in snow before, though it’s been a few years.
