Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
I’ve watched a number of friends and coworkers retire, and one of the things that always seems to happen is the realization that they are doing something for the last time. Although I’m still almost a year away from that milestone moment in my career, I have just experienced my first last thing. Every November... Continue Reading →
Earlier this week, I was up near Boston for a few meetings. Traveling for business is a thing that I am used to after 40+ years. I don’t travel nearly as much as I did in the early 80s, and travel isn’t as unpleasant as it was back then. Well, I should say travelling to... Continue Reading →
It’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday, so it’s time to take Linda’s prompt and head to the bar. Linda sets the stage for this week’s conversation by giving us: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘flower/flour.’ Use one, use both, it’s totally up to you. Enjoy!” She’s kidding, right? If we were having... Continue Reading →
Norm declared a mid-summer break from Thursday Doors, so there’s no link up today, as he and the little blue frog take some time to recharge.

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. Barman, what’s that all about?” “Sorry, I’m trying to use words with ‘man’ in them.” “Why?” “Actually, it’s your fault.” “How’s that?” “Your... Continue Reading →
