Wow, i cant believe I just did it!!!
Yep! After many times contemplating the thought, I went right ahead and finally did it! I pushed the button. That's it! I quit!!!! So, I guess I might be around until my subscription ends. It's been a slice! I've enjoyed most of my time on here. I've made some great friends and now it's time for me...

A hard week has come to an end...
Well, it's been a hard week. Not because I've worked hard. That rarely happens. I believe in the value of work, sure, but if it's creative work and sensible. Most of my work is not creative and sensible, so I take it easy and just go through the motions. This past week I was in Corfu, a beautiful,...

today I killed a blog...
Yes, today I killed a blog. It didnt live long, about ten days or so... It was just my attempt to make myself feel better and prove (to myself) that i'm just so superior and that i can slum with the worst of us... But you know, when I take the long view, after a couple of glasses of very good red...

I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your empire down...
Every passing year, it seems, brings new disasters that impel and fixate our attention to the television, the computer screen or any of the other media that covers these events. Throughout my wanderings across the netscape, I see people wonder whether God is punishing us, asking if the end is near...

The fall has come at last...
Summers in greece can be very dry and hot. As the years have passed, it seems to me and to the statistics people, that the summers have only been getting hotter and drier. This year, although not as hot as previous ones, was certainly very dry. This week, thou, right on schedule, fall came and...

The dreams that signal change...
Every few years, a dream will come to me in my sleep and signal a major change in my life. To be sure, I have dreams all the time, but once in a while, one will stand out from all the rest and then I know that something is up. Last night I had one of these dreams. I saw a woman whom I had met a...

A dash of HOT sauce for a friend...
After a strong dose of Tobasco from Tapsel's post in her Perplexities Blog, I remembered something from my time with NBC last summer, during the Athens Olympics. I'd been stationed in the Media Building. Being a media building, as you can imagine, it was stuffed to the gills with media equipment. I...

Watching them go by...
For the last couple of days I've been heading out in the morning to the city just across the water. I live on the outskirts of a small town, there are about five or so houses around our house and off in the distance, over fields, highway, and across about 5 miles of sea, is the city of Patras. About...

That felt good. Thanks folks, I feel better. Hmmmm, if blogit is good...

I got the new job!
Yep, it’s official! I got the new job! Soon I’m going to be riding around Greece, visiting English Language Schools, trying to convince the owners that ‘our’ books and software are the best. The truth is, no one’s is the best. Everybody copies from one another. So it’s all the same. What I count on...
