Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
“Oceanic, that’s it.” “What are you talking about?” “My wife asked me about the full name of the seafood place over in East Hartford – it’s Mickey’s Oceanic.” “I don’t like it when you guys come in here talking about other restaurants.” “Don’t mind my young friend, Cheryl, he’s having a senior moment. Besides, Mickey’s... Continue Reading →
If I’ve been slow to press the ‘Like’ button on your blog or if you’re saying “hmmm, I didn’t see a comment from Dan, he usually leaves a comment…” – well, I’m here to tell you it’s not my fault. My editor would say that it is my fault, because I’m a technology worker, the... Continue Reading →
I didn't participate in SoCS and I miss the permission to ramble on. I was on the road last week, and, as often happens I'm caught with a hole in the schedule. I wrote the posts for last Wednesday and Thursday before I left. I wrote Saturday’s post in the airport and I gathered ideas... Continue Reading →
The title might not mean much to you, but it saved you from a recap of the conference I attended last week. I was going to try to wrap a story around Intelligent Information, or perhaps intelligent information managers – a group in which I hope to be counted. Still, this isn’t a technical blog...

If we were having a beer, I’d be trying to keep a secret from you. “I don’t think there’s a barman on duty today.” “Cheryl’s on duty. She’s probably in the back.

“Cheryl, vacation boy is going to be buying the first round. I’ll have a glass of Meomi and, well, you know his choice.” “Oh, a little snarky, as if I’m boring, even though you drink the same wine all the time?” “I don’t drink the same wine all the time, I just switched to Meomi.”...

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. I’m confident, there’s an agenda and things usually go according... Continue Reading →
I don’t travel a lot. Seriously, I know people who travel farther and way more often than I do. I once described myself as a Travel Wimp, and it’s still a good description. I check bags, schedule long, safe layovers and I pay a little extra for comfort rather than gamble on the chance of... Continue Reading →
