Claustrophobia
Had to get an MRI for my arm last night – had pain for 3.5 weeks now, and it’s just not getting better. All I think about is OW MY ARM HURTS, ARM, ARM, ARM, ARM, ARM.  I tried to soak it in alcohol this weekend for Jon’s bachelor party, but that didn’t work. […]
Learning
Man – so much learning lately. In no particular order: Photoshop – something I should have learned years ago, and now I know why I didn’t – it’s really complicated. All I really want to do is design some simple web elements, cut up pictures, etc. I am NO artist – which means that 98% […]
42 years
Birthday today. Great weekend of fun. Parties and drinking with friends. Big changes for me since 40. I was employed at Infosearch Media – the second worst job of my life. First on the list was Zenith Insurance, and both were bad for the same reason – the people I worked for. Ron and Mary […]

Medical Myths
From the world-famous Greg Husebye – medical myths that have been around forever. I always knew about the tryptophan myth (there isn’t nearly enough in turkey to make you tired) but the others were new. Enjoy.
Getting old

The Bachelor
Unreal. Pam just made me watch the last episode of the Bachelor with her. This is generally fine, because I am spared the pain of watching the whole season, and just get to see the “money shot”, as it were. Excecpt that this guy that Pam thinks is just gorgeous, turns out to be a […]
Random thoughts
It makes no sense to me whatsoever for people to bash Windows, or OS X, or Linux. They are operating systems. My daughter is so smart I just can’t even believe it sometimes. Makes he sad for all the dumb kids out there. I said it before, and I’ll say it again -  MSSQL is an […]
