Is this thing on?

Hello?
Testing 1, 2, 3.
Can anybody hear me?
Is there anybody out there? (just nod if you can hear me)

I know, I know. It's been a while. It's been a long while. Trust me -- I know. I don't have anything new to say, just the same old stuff. There is sickness, there is life, there is love ... and sometimes eating and sleeping.

At work, we removed the equipment that was tracking our Internet usage so I feel a little more free to write something here. I've been busy since the end of last year and now the work is starting to taper off. Due to some scheduling, I'm going to be busy doing other people's work until they return. I'm not looking forward to that. But enough about work.

There is a young lady that Superman introduced me to that I've been hanging out with recently. I guess it was last Friday I was over there because she made me dinner and then we watched a movie ("Going The Distance"). The spaghetti was good and the movie was awful. I brought her flowers and she blushed appropriately. It was cute.

I'm not sure where it's going but, we'll see...

Top 10 Cartoon Duo's

This time out the subject is Top 10 Cartoon Duo’s. I was only going to make this a Top 5 list but I had so many entries to work with, I added the last 5. Here’s the list is no particular order – wait, that’s not right… 10. Ren & Stimpy: Call this entry the ‘Odd Couple’ of the group. A cat and a dog (I think) living together and making their way despite their obvious instincts to be sworn enemies. I have to admit that this cartoon was hard to watch sometimes because of the ‘gross’ nature of both characters – pooping and boogers a big part of the vernacular. “Oh, Re-e-e-n?”, “Yes, Stimpy!” 9. Inspector Gadget & Penny: An uncle and his niece go around solving crimes against Dr. Claw. It was actually Gadget and his dog, Brain, that tried to solve the crimes and Penny that actually solved them. She would tell Brain the solution and that crazy dog would expend a great deal of energy trying to make the Inspector understand the solution. Finally, when Inspector Gadget would ‘stumble...

The Memory of Lists Past

I was cleaning out a closet tonight and found a lot of papers that held some kind of memory for me. Some were newspaper articles, some were funny memos... most were written or drawn by me. I came across the following, entitled "List for 1990": 1. Reorganize your life 2. Evaluate your feelings 3. Take a risk but be smart 4. Take care of #1 (yourself!) 5. Don't do anything you don't want to do 6. Reward risk-taking 7. Don't be afraid 8. Change the way you do things 9. Go somewhere when you get bored, don't just sit around 10. Find out how to take a compliment 11. Generally be more aggressive 12. Don't worry how other people feel 13. Learn to like yourself 14. Have fun! You will note that some things never change. It's most interesting to see what I thought about myself back then. Just thought I'd share...

Only Always

Parents – You know, my parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary a few Saturdays ago and I didn’t even mention anything about it. That’s quite an accomplishment. The weather held out (meaning it wasn’t overly hot) but I’m finding that I got bit all to hell by the bugs. My legs are tore up from the floor up. Date – Yea, I had a date on Saturday but it was so un-interesting I didn’t even lead off with it. She had really pretty eyes but that’s all I can say that was positive. Everything else was neutral. I don’t know that I have much else to discuss. I was thinking this was going to be longer but nothing much is happening. Workdays are going by faster because there’s SO much going on and a lot of people are out. One of the women in Accounting just left so it leaves them short-handed. To catch up it is estimated they need about 12 people in that department. Currently there are 2. The woman that reports to me is out on vacation for another week so I continue to do her job. I shoul...
