Gee, you'd think with a two year pandemic, a lay-off, and general lack of focus, I'd have found some time to write. Well, you'd think wrong. Let's see here, where to begin... How about a quick catch up: 2018 - I remember nothing after April. Nothing. 2019 - Bought a house! Be thankful you missed … Continue reading WHAT YEAR IS IT?

AN ALTER EGO EVENING
After the vacation posts, I've had trouble getting back into the regular swing of writing. Work is insanely busy. The boys came home from their respective colleges for a visit. Work is insanely busy. Did I say that already? Really, really busy. So busy, in fact, that we (the marketing and graphics team) went to … Continue reading AN ALTER EGO EVENING
ANOTHER YEAR OLDER, BUT NOT MORE MATURE

If you are and you haven't heard of "Let me Google that for you," allow … Continue reading LET ME GOOGLE THAT FOR YOU
OPERATOR ERROR
Have you dealt with someone recently and discovered they have absolutely NO computer common sense at all? I'm not talking about your 60-year-old mother, I mean someone you consider a peer? I have. It's surprising in this world of Facebook, Twitter, email, iPhones, and Blackberries, but it's true - some people are just a little behind the curve. What … Continue reading OPERATOR ERROR
DISTRACTIBLE ME
I either have A.D.D. or unrealistic expectations. At one point I had a mind like a steel trap. Nothing escaped me. Now, I think I’m senile. I blame technology. More specifically, email. For some reason I feel I have to respond to every request as it comes in. Instead of working on one project at a … Continue reading DISTRACTIBLE ME
