It’s time to take a full three day weekend. I know my buddy Allen is, his email’s already responding that he won’t be back until Tuesday and I know he means it – and he’s out of cell range, high in the mountains for the weekend. I don’t have plans quite so grand, but I’m […]

Wanna Zoom Again
Boy do I ever want to buy a motorcycle. I used to ride, then sold my bike when my sons got to the age where there T-Ball games, Soccer games, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts etc. were more important. Those were great times, and I don’t begrudge one bit the time that I spent in a […]
They Just Don’t Want To Know
Twice within the last 10 days or so I’ve gotten phone calls from survey firms. The first wanted to know about my radio listening habits. The second was asking about how I get news on the Television.

I had been “living” on my PowerBook, using OS X’s mail client, address book and calendaring program.

Congratulations, Josh and Allison

Drive Carefully
Not that you shouldn’t all the time anyway, but it’s time to keep an extra eye out for the kids as you head off to work in the morning and return in the afternoons. School’s beginning, at least here in Georgia – some counties started last week, Fulton county’s kids went back to class yesterday […]
