A friend of mine from high school came to visit this weekend. I don’t actually talk to many people from high school. He is, I believe, one of two, maybe four if you start to get really relaxed about how to define “high school friend.” What I remembered primarily about him was that he sat… Continue reading

I quickly parked and ran inside. The lights are still on, I thought to myself, surely they are still here. As I opened the door I noticed a man, apparently in his pajamas, sitting at the top of the stairs. “Hi,” he said, sounding forlorn.“Hey,” I replied, smiling. “How’s it going?”“Oh good, you’re not a… Continue reading

I’m having SEO growing pains today. Just launched myself on a mission against a previous client (nothing aggressive toward them, just a race they are unaware of). Call it a case study about what the best way to gather followers is, I know that’s what I’m calling it. I have a huge book I need… Continue reading

I’ve received a letter from my ISP letting me know that they think I have a virus. They think this because someone has reported me as having a virus. This letter also let me know, that if I didn’t remove the virus I’d be in trouble. They will remove my internet and I will die. Continue reading

Apparently my order was smashed beyond recognition two weeks ago. A day after it left the warehouse it had been so badly damaged in Texas that it was deemed undeliverable. I would never have known except that I happened to check on its progress. That’s fine, I suppose, but I had to call Customer Service… Continue reading
