Down On Ferry Farm

I am so glad to be back in town. It's nice to travel but sometimes you miss the familiar surroundings. Here, I can find the nearest 7-11... there, I can't even find the airport. Whatever happened, either there or in transit, has really zapped my energy. I swear, I have never felt so tired. I've caught up on the sleep that was lost but I have no energy to do anything. Today, I must have consumed more caffeine than usual because, well, I'm still up. I'm as awake now as I was earlier today at noon. Let me tell you my harrowing travel story: I was going to visit one of our remote sites in Escanaba, Michigan. I flew out Monday morning to Detroit on an uneventful flight. I even paid the extra $50 to sit in first class (I'd never flown in first class before -- long story short: not impressed). Anyhow, I get to Detroit just fine and I'm sitting at the gate for my next flight. This flight is on a much smaller plane, the kind of plane where you have to walk out on the

I've been traveling on business this week and it looks like I'll be staying another week. The only thing I find wrong with that is that I didn't bring enough clothes for two weeks so I'll probably end up washing some clothes here in the hotel. You know, it really is a different world from where I come from. I'm in the north central part of the country. They call it the Midwest, but I don't know why. The think I DO like here is the women. They're what I call 'healthy' women. Not fat, not skinny... just healthy.... a little thicker than most, but nice. The kind of woman that I'm looking for. It's also interesting to note the age difference between the married couples. In our office here, we've got a young lady who just turned 18 who is getting married (already married?) to a 41 year old man. This is not unusual here. And these are NOT fat and ugly young women. They are, however, not very attractive men. It gives me hope. There's just no

I haven't written down all the inane things that are going on in my life so I'll catch you up on what's going on: L-girl: She's acting really strange lately -- even to me. She's been under a lot of pressure lately to conform to the strangest things in the office to which I cannot help. I try to come over and visit be she's been told very clearly that I am not to visit for any length of time. About a minute into any conversation she abruptly stops and tells me to leave "before we're caught". While I was on vacation last week I asked if she wanted to go out to lunch one day. She agreed, but when I called to confirm, she admitted that she wasn't taking a lunch that day. Apparently there was some drama but she didn't want to get into over the phone. Whatever... DubDub: After our tryst on Saturday I was hopeful that DubDub and I were going to get together (as planned) on her day off. True to form -- no word. I have left messages at her home, o

After the Imesh fiasco earlier this year, I was off looking for another place to download music. Superman had mentioned Bit Torrent a couple of times and I had heard of it through some other sources, so I decided to give it a try. I went looking for a song... figured I'd throw up a softball and see what happened. Didn't find the song. Huh. Searched for another. Well, it found the whole album -- I just want the song. Searched for another... and another -- it's not finding any of them. I have about 40 songs I'm looking for currently -- It didn't find any of them. I try my 'baseline' check: I put in the search term "50 cent". It comes up with more than 1000 hits. Hmmm... so that's how it is. So I go looking for some pornography. Well, it finds those search terms just fine. So I pick out a file and start to download. Now, I'm not embellishing here -- it literally took 1 hour and 5 minutes for a 35meg file. It should have taken less than 10 minu
