Insomnia.
I haven’t been this outta whack in a while. I have a Dr. appointment in a few hours and I just can’t get to sleep. My mind is reeling. It never fails that whenever I have to get up really early – I get anxious and stay up way too late. On top of it…

I sat at the bar.
Not just for an evening, but for several. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday nights. I sat at the bar and talked with people. I walked up to strangers who looked like some friendliness would bring a grin to their face. I sat down and listened to stories and shared my own. Seems like, when I…

back, i spose
It’s been a while. I was starting off this journal so diligently, then I went off to wyoming for work where cell phones, tvs, and computer access came at a premium…. and I slipped. I used one o them thaere old fahioned hand writing journals, so I’ll backup and transcribe when I get a chance,…

I dig my job
So it’s 3:33am, and I’m just wrapping up little details on a site we’re launching this week at work. I could blather on about how I loathe working this late… but honestly, I feel like an elf (albeit a tall one) gettin stuff ready for happy recipients. I dig my job.

Efficiency
So I’m learning about making sites easier to build… with Server Side Includes. Such a simple concept, but what a difference it makes. We’ve built them a long time at the office, but I’ve never really sat down and tried to integrate them by myself. It took a big site built in DreamWeaver to make…

Chatty Cathy
Funny how communication has evolved over the years. From pen to telegraph to telephone to computers, another myriad of levels have been added with this latest technology. We had email, and that was a way to get a message from point A to point B. Then of course, we have this whole Instant Messaging thing…

The beard intimidation factor
So I drove up to Columbus Ohio with a colleague for a meeting today, and it was prefaced that I was to lock horns with the IT guy. I’m not much for prefacing a meeting with someone with hearsay – so I just tried to make sure our ducks were in a row and I…

Another dream
So heck knows I don’t want this to be a dream analysis tool, but it’s handy like that. I’m at some toy store and they have the new GameBoy, ahead of schedule. This isn’t an ordinary GameBoy, the screen is backlit, so its easy to see. I try to call my credit card company, but…

I am not a morning person
Putting on the same clothes I wore to the rodeo and bar, I woke with alarms and phones ringing in every direction at 5 am. Scott was already up in the other room, getting his suitcase in order and we silently prepped ourselves for our diverging travel paths back to the Queen city. He had…

Rodeo, Day Two
Breakfast was a faceless joint, but tolerable with a breakfast bar. I chatted with a friend who got me to thinking about how rough it is to lose someone in a relationship. Not by death mind you, but by the circumstance of two folks wrestling with trying to figure out if somethings going to work.…
