Brownie points if you know what movie or book the above line is from. Last night, I dreamt I went back to the house I grew up in, and though we no longer own it, I dreamt the people living there were incredibly cordial and invited me in to see what they had done to …

First Log Entry of May
One of the aspects of working in the tech industry, and especially in any twenty-four by seven center is that someone’s got to work weekends. I am that someone. To be honest, even though it means I miss out on fun and my pitiful excuse of a social life suffers, I don’t really care. I …

Too Early to Tell
I try to stay out of politics, though I do vote. I read the issues, try to stay away from the propoganda by keeping the channel permanently tuned to Playboy TV (which still did not save me from political ads… they ran Mary Carey ads every hour), stayed away from news media outlets such as …

No World Series this year…
After a tremendous season of baseball, the San Francisco Giants were knocked out of the first round of the playoffs this year by the wild card team. Now I know how Atlanta and St. Louis felt last year, when an upstart team came into the playoffs via the wild card and kicked the living shit …

The Changing of the Season
Since it is now officially autumn here in the Bay Area, I thought it would be appropriate to remark a little something about the changing of the seasons in reality as opposed to marking a day on the calendar. Nature doesn’t really give a shit about our calendar, it changes whenever it feels like it. …

Warm Jackets and Cold Weather
Yesterday’s work day was pretty hectic, considering that I work for twelve to fifteen hours depending on any given day, and the fact that I work alone for such a long stretch may also contribute to the mundane nature that is “hectic” in the eyes of most people. Of course, in the type of environment …

Fortune Favors the Bold
There was a definite intention to get back to writing this week. For those of you who actually take an interest in my work, you should know that after six solid weeks of nonstop writing, I promised myself a week off to recharge the old creative batteries. It’s important to any writing process that you …

A .470 Batting Average?
I’ve decided to add batting practice to my exercise regime. I needed an upper body type of activity to start working the arm muscles a little more, so every day, now, I’m starting to head to the batting cages to get in a hundred pitches in the affectionate “slow speed” cage at the baseball pro …
