No, I didn’t fall down again…
No, I didn’t fall down again, yes, I was going to push myself to write every day even though these days it’s about as enjoyable as my regular thirty minutes on the treadmill (which I always look forward to with a sense of dread). Hadn’t been sleeping at all well last week, usually falling asleep…

First Bad Experience on Facebook Marketplace
I’m a Facebook Marketplace frequent flyer. It’s where I get a lot of my cameras. Most of my experiences range from very good to ho-hum. Very good example: I tell someone I’m interested in what they’re selling. Within a day or two I hear back from them. We exchange a number of polite messages back…

Back to it?
Couldn’t sleep last night. Went to bed around 1am. Woke up around 4am. Laid in bed until about 6:30 at which point I realized I might as well get up and be productive, or at least read a book or something. I should honestly do this more often when I have insomnia like this–actually, I…

I wonder if this still works
Answer: No it didn’t. New answer: Now it does. Haven’t written in over six months so the sites have been pretty jacked up. Wonder who’s been checking in on me. On the bright side, I did get SSL to start working on both blogs. Woot. Now I wonder if I’ll just rid of the damn…

I’ll meet you again
I’ve probably mentioned it before, but I don’t have any friends—and to be clear, I mean, I have no one within fifty miles of me who calls me up on a Friday afternoon asking me if I’d like to out for drinks or a movie. I have cats. A lot of cats. And a wife….

Tired
So tired. For a few weeks I thought it was for the antibiotics. But I haven’t been taking them this week because they were wiping me out. So I stopped and still, at least once during the work day, I find myself falling onto the nearby bed and falling asleep. I’m starting to feel like…

Congress…oh congress!
Congress is inept. I don’t say that because it’s an opinion I’ve recently come to as I adhere to this general feeling the American public has been overwhelmed with about government; it’s been a realization I had back in the early 90’s when I was first able to vote. Let me provide a recent, specific,…

Health Follow Up
I know, I know, it’s been awhile again. And yes, it’s health related. Here’s the quick follow up. A little over a month ago I was diagnosed with strep B. I wasn’t tested because doctors weren’t listening to me; I didn’t have the typical symptoms of strep throat, but instead because I’ve known for a…

Last Night’s Fresh Air
I’m an NPR junkie. While at the gym yesterday I listened to a Fresh Air episode about an evangelical group called Aliance Defending Freedom. It’s worth listening to. I reference a few random thoughts here. 1. Beware of any American conservative group with something like the name “freedom” in the title. It nearly always means,…

No Excuses
I’ve modified my server so now I can write posts from any linux capable machine on my home network so now I really don’t have an excuse not to write every day (for awhile there it was because I didn’t have my blogging laptop nearby and/or wasn’t putting time aside to sit at my small…
