Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
Linda G. Hill has given us the opportunity to reflect on the blog-thingie known around the world as Just Jot January. I’m taking her up on that offer, because I was more successful this year than in every previous year. JusJoJan really isn’t designed for me. I don’t like posting every day, and I really...

Last week, we received a warning flier in the mail. “You’re TV Equipment is Outdated!” I’ve been getting emails about this for several months. I don’t really care. I switched to Hulu and YouTube TV over a year ago. This mailing called attention to a series of events over the next 90 days, where I... Continue Reading →
That’s not a typo. This isn’t a post about Facebook’s research and development. This post is about Facebook’s razzle-dazzle attempts to get me to spend more money. I’m sorry, that would be spend money – I’ve never spent my own money on anything Facebook. I qualified that last statement because I did once place an... Continue Reading →
It’s time for Linda G. Hill’s double-stuff Saturday, where Stream of Consciousness Saturday meets Just Jot January and we’re left with: “Your prompt for #JusJoJan and Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: ‘last call.’ Talk about the enterprise (sales or service) conducted by the last phone call you received from a business you’re not associated with...

I like this train, and I’m thinking about taking a ride just for the fun of it.... Continue Reading →
As some of you know, buried under the About menu at the top of this page is a menu option for “Conversion Util.” Several years ago, I wrote a simple US/English-to-Metric conversion utility. I use it all the time for temperature (since we are the only place on the planet that still uses Fahrenheit) but... Continue Reading →
If you’ve been around here for a while, you know that I don’t usually do awards. I haven’t declared this to be an “Award Free Zone,” but I usually have something else going on. Yesterday, I woke up to several inches of snow, a light coating of ice and some thick fog. Later, I saw... Continue Reading →
Here we are at another multi-purpose Saturday. We’re going to gather at the bar, and work on Linda’s Just Jot it January and Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompts. I rarely watch movies, and yet: “Your prompt for #JusJoJan and Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: ‘movie title.’ Take the title of the last movie you watched... Continue Reading →
