THE 2008 WORLDCON WILL BE OUT HERE

This year's Worldcon just ended and things went very well. The voting for the 2008 Worldcon went in favor of Denver, so I am very happy and am looking forwards to the event, even though I have two years to wait now. You can go here to learn more about it. A really cool thing is that the Toastmaster... Sign in to see full entry.

SO PLUTO IS NO LONGER A PLANET

Not sure what some astronomers had against the poor little guy. To me it seems like they made a big deal out of nothing. I still have yet to learn what harm it did to let Pluto be called a planet. Of course 'Dwarf-planet' (The new designation for it) really does not seem to say it is not a planet,... Sign in to see full entry.

I WISH I COULD BLOCK MYSELF FROM READING CERTAIN BLOGS

As some of you know I just blocked my first blogger because I was tired of his superiority complex and his total lack of respect for me and my beliefs which he showed by insulting me in a very manipulative way and then claimed he made no insult, even though I kept explaining to him exactly what the...

XENO IS HERE

The old man is here right now. He is busy setting up Heroscape to play with my six year and my step-niece that he dragged along. That poor girl had to be trapped in a car with him for a long time to get here. I feel very sorry for her. So far the visit has gone well. Most likely the old guy will get...

HOW I DEAL WITH E-MAIL SCAMS

Just got an e-mail that was very obviously an e-mail scam. Supposedly I was being charged several hundred dollars form my paypal account for a cell phone I never bought. In the e-mail there was a link to a page so I can dispute the charge. First thing I did was go to the actual Paypal site (Not the... Sign in to see full entry.

HOW TO BE HAPPY IN LIFE

This one is for Kiddo75. I promised her I would write it and so here it is. You have to start with a very simple question 'What is happiness?' The problem is the answer is not so simple. So many people seem to want an easy answer. Happiness is God or wealth or money or some other such thing, and yet... Sign in to see full entry.

AM I ALL BLOGGED OUT?

I guess I am just going through one of those periods where I just do not feel like blogging. I have a lot to say, but just don’t feel like getting on line and saying it for some reason. I am trying to focus on my serious writing and some other stuff in my life. You just need a break from this place... Sign in to see full entry.

I AM JUST GLAD TO HAVE THEM ALL BACK HOME

With the family back home everything feel right again. The house was filled with noise and I had a lap to lay on. Even when my three year old threw a fit I smiled because it just felt right. I am much more comfortable in a house with chaos all around me than with it all silent and calm. All is back... Sign in to see full entry.

LOOKING FORWARDS TO THEM GETTING BACK TOMORROW

I just got one more night alone in this house. Tomorrow evening all the chaos of my like should be back here and I will be as happy as can be about it. Yesterday at my sister's I was really missing my wife. My hands were cold from helping to try and make some home made ice cream and neither my... Sign in to see full entry.
