Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
It’s time to visit the bar and try to incorporate my and my buddy’s conversation with Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. This week, Linda says: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘instructions.’ Write instructions for anything you know how to do. As detailed or as rambling as you’d like....

The other day, Jill over at J-Dubs Grin and Bear It, offered a plea of a post, complaining about having to pack for a business trip. I can’t say that I was much help. I informed/reminded her that packing for a short trip is one of the things that’s just easier for guys. Despite that... Continue Reading →
A funny thing happened on my way to talking about WordPress technical support – I told a story about a mortgage company I worked at while I was a consultant. A couple of weeks ago, I told you about how a crude flow diagram helped me “figure out” where the problems were – hint, they... Continue Reading →
I am planning to share a couple of other stories from the mortgage company disaster, in which a team, collectively known as “Antion’s Cleaners” found $93 million dollars that had been misplaced, misused and otherwise had gone missing.

I thought I’d give you an update today, because…OK, you want the truth? Because yesterday was Mother’s Day and I didn’t want to spend... Continue Reading →
Welcome to the #Free48, as Cheryl would say. We gave Cheryl the weekend off, but I’m wishing her, the Editor, Linda G. Hill (our host) and all of the moms in the audience a Happy Mother’s Day, as we strain against the pressure of another Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. Oops, it looks like I...

Monday night, I had dinner with an old friend. More than a friend, he has been a mentor to me and a supporter as I entered an area of Information Management, I had never considered part of my responsibility. Prior to meeting Ed, I had spent my career dealing with data – input screens to... Continue Reading →
Last week, I dragged you guys into the bowels of my technical support journey with the WordPress Happiness Engineers. Along the way, I offered some hope that the future wouldn’t hold too many of those technical travelogues: "Computers can do those things, easily, but they have to know all the steps in the workflow,...
