One-Liner Wednesday – Impossible

Last week, when I rewrote my story about my early days of employment, I was trying to cut about 200 words out of the original story, ‘cuz I care about you guys (he says as he’s meandering around the point of a One-Liner Wednesday post). Anyway, I rewrote a bunch of sections, left out some... Continue Reading →

Hashtag #nuffSaid

If we were having a beer, you’d have a technical question for me. “So, Mr. Wizard, I have a question for you about your blog.” “And that would be...?” “Are you actually up and writing these things at 6:04 am?” "No, not as a rule.” “So, they’re scheduled in advance?” “Yes, it’s a fairly common...

Modern Lies

I have written about salespeople lying to me, too many times to link to. Still, it’s not only continuing, it’s getting worse. I expect lies about products and features: “This copier will meet all your copying and scanning needs forever.” “This is the lowest price you’ll ever see on this product.” “This car has the...

Winter Coats

This is typically the hardest week of the year for me to publish on this blog. That’s because I write most of my posts for the week on the previous weekend. Not the whole posts, but a good working draft. I find that once I have a draft, I can smush it into some sense... Continue Reading →

At the Bar with Star Trek

If we were having a beer, you would be picking on me…again “So, how did you celebrate on Thursday?” “Huh?” “Thursday. I heard that it was the 50th anniversary of Star Trek. I thought you would have done something special.” “Ha, no. We had a Board Meeting at work. I don’t think a Star Trek... Continue Reading →

Close the Door – Open Your Mind

I was on the road this past week. Not the whole week, but a good-sized chunk of it. It was one of those travel things that I do that involves meetings during the day and social functions in the evening. I’m OK with the meetings.

Sooner or Later Strange Things Happen

I’ve been on vacation this past week and a half. I was actually thinking about skipping my blog for today. I thought about it and decided to leave it up to Linda. If she had a particularly interesting prompt for SoCS, I’d let something flow onto the page. If not, I’d skip Saturday. Of course,... Continue Reading →

If We Were Having a Beer

You would take a sip of whatever you’re drinking, look over at me and say “how many friends of a different race did your parents have?” “Whaaa?” “Seriously, that was one of the questions some bonehead in Seattle wanted your barista to ask you while she was messing up your coffee order.” “Fortunately, I avoided...

By Way of Introduction

I have been working my way through the DVD collection of Star Trek Next Generation (STNG). As I near the end of the series, I have been planning to write a couple of posts that are inspired by Star Trek, but not Trek-heavy and not a “series.” Just a post here and a post there... Continue Reading →
