I had the pleasure of a phone call from someone that found my business card on a board at TCBY. I had forgotten I’d placed it there! I was able to solve their problem in a few minutes on the phone gratis. Hopefully it will come back around.

Ether
Well now. I was having a very surreal moment at the office and emailed a post that went to the ether. How funny.
Quality Programming rule #1: If you are not given a spec, write your own. I broke this rule on my current project. Today I fixed the problem and it both sent me reeling as well as gave a definite end to the work. There is much to accomplish in a very brief time.
I am going to sit down and spend a few minutes each day writing, reviewing, and revising specs on the projects I am and want to do both personal and professional. It makes all the difference in the world!

Amy Speaks
Amy says, “Save us from the evil poop Daddy!” Apparently the dog had an accident.
She followed it shortly with “bad hair day.”

He got respect
Rodney Dangerfield has passed away. His spirit was overheard saying, “I met St Peter and asked, ‘so are you letting me in?’ and St Peter replied, ‘Like Hell!’ I never knew Heaven and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences were run by the same people. I get no respect!”

This Morning
Woke at 4am and could not get myself out of bed. I slept like a rock! I needed the sleep as badly as I needed to be working. -

Student: Once a good man always a good man?
Master: If you are feeling evil, perhaps it was always there. -
Progress!
Actually pulled myself from bed for a 2am-5am programming stint! Got some cleaning in also as I started through a pile of old mail and had fun trashing ads mailed to me in 2002.
Time for a quick nap.

The Eagle Has Landed
“Gordon Cooper, who was the youngest and perhaps cockiest member of the original seven Mercury astronauts and set the space endurance record that helped clear the way for the first moon landing, has died. He was 77.” [from CBSNEWS.com]

Continuance
And the boy stumbled upon where the crowd gathered in silence. They held the limp body of the Genie above their heads and with sadness and confusion declared, “We killed him and the nightmare did not fade.” The boy fell to knees with anguish in his face and tears pouring from his eyes. “You fools! You killed the wrong beast for this is MY dream!” The boy momentarily collapsed until an unusual calm beset him. He slowly rose to his feet and there stood the Man. “It is my dream. And it is still alive!”

Sunset at tonight’s soccer practice. This was from a camera phone. I wish I had the good camera with me! Of course, the funny thing is that was over Oak Ridge so it could have been a sunset or a nuclear meltdown.

Of Grasshoppers
Student: How much fight can one man have in him?
Master: When you draw your last breath there is no more fight. -
Realization
After spending some relaxing moments admiring his work, the boy left the oasis with an optimism that the rest of the world could be brought around. He could repair his damage. As he stepped from the calm of the oasis and laid eyes on the rest of the world. It began to spin. His stomach knotted. His head grew light. The tasks ahead are formidable!

This Morning
I went to bed last night with that fluttering in my lower right side just at the base of my rib cage. My heart seemed to race. I am anxious to see more progress on the house, the programming, financial stability and health insurance. I am torn between going into the office to work today and staying home to swing my shift and spend the morning fixing the dryer and the afternoon/evening programming. My gut says that won’t work.
