The plan

Well, after much thought and solitary deliberation, I have decided I am going to pursue a career as a physician in cardiology. I am not totally committed to the idea at the moment, but I’m sure the more I think about it, the less likely I am to cancel the thought. Plus, the more I [...]

The big decision

Before I joined the Air Force, I was working as a EKG Technician, training to become a Cardiovascular Tech II. My intention was to spend some time in the Air Force to earn a college education, whereafter I’d attend medical school. But things changed while I was in the military and I ended up in [...]

Yee-haw! Snow!

Snow! I hear thunder and lightening all night last night (and quite a few good ones, I might add), and I look out the window this morning to see SNOW!

Web development hiatus

I have done very little or no web development over the past several weeks. In fact, the only web development was the hour or so I spent with my grandmother while working on her business’s website. Other than that, I hadn’t opened Dreamweaver at all. Just hadn’t had the will, I suppose.

I hate when that happens

So, Cox Communications, the provider of the DivergentSystems.com Internet connection, fouled up for the second time in a row and shut off the connection, claiming I hadn’t paid my bill. I found this out Monday evening at work when I couldn’t get to Webmail. At first I didn’t think much of it because Goodfellow’s network [...]

Woops. Sorry, kitty

Here’s the latest thing with the cat, and it’s a bad one. Before I continue, though, I’d like to mention something. Many of you hear stories of the crap my cat pulls, but it’s only about four percent — the rest of him makes him a pretty good kitty. Yesterday I noticed a blob of [...]

Allow me to gloat a little

Last week I had Steve, Diana, and Kiesha over for Monday night football, pizza, and you know what else: beer. It was a great evening, and half-way through Diana noticed my array of remote controls spread out on the coffee table like a deck of cards on a casino table “Geeze, man, you oughtta get [...]

More than I can chew

“Hi, thank you for calling Pizza Hut, may I have your phone number please?” … “Okay, and what would you like?” “Large, thin-crust pepperoni.” “Okay, would you also like some cheese sticks with that?” “Um, well, that sounds good — sure.” … Did I fall trap to what I’d like to call the “impulse offer”?
