    I just got back from Hawaii and I am still decompressing. Or rather I am compressing since in Hawaii the whole point is to decompress. Certainly losing five hours from my day yesterday from jet lag is compressing my day in a very real sense. So it’s welcome back to cold and snow. It was […]

  • Intimations of Immortality

    A few entries back I mentioned my pal Lisa’s recent experience with a psychic. I’m still waiting for the full report, which I am sure I will get in time. While ruminating on the subject though I’d thought I’d throw out a few of my own observations in the course of life that have made […]

  • Let’s keep doing more with less and less!

    Schools out! I teach a class in Web Page Design at Northern Virginia Community College and I gave the final exam today. Just as well because we are off to Hawaii on the 20th.

  • My very own blog

    I guess it’s time to share my opinions with the world. Not that I haven’t been doing that already. I share lots of opinions, mostly to captive audiences like family and members of my email lists, or people on my forum. But until now I had no way to reach the larger public out there […]
