Need to DISABLE Autopilot

Running on autopilot has gotten me again. I came in to work and made several bad decisions which ended up with the packaging department having to throw out over 79,000 newspapers and the Pressroom having to reprint the corrected ones. It's just over 1/3 of the night's run. I don't know how much that... Sign in to see full entry.

Knights and Knaves

A few days before Thomas Jefferson died on July 4, 1826--the fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence--he could see that the revolution he had helped to spark was burning throughout the world. He wrote: "All eyes are opened, or opening, to the rights of man. The general spread of the... Sign in to see full entry.

Coke Zero

It has two names. The second both describes and overshadows the first. It would be more descriptive if they had a slashed circle under the word Coke. I have a tiny bottle of this in the fridge. I think I have made it down about two inches. It sucks. I have taken several sips, each to see if the... Sign in to see full entry.

My Schpiel

This is the intro I wrote for my profile on match dot com In search of a feeling that will last a lifetime You don't want to pass this up. There've been five times in my life when I have felt like I have finally come home. The most recent was two months ago when I became a member of a very old... Sign in to see full entry.

Shoulders Back, Gut In

After last night's two hour walking bout I had some lower back pain. I realized that this is due to my posture when walking. I have been relaxing and on autopilot too much while walking and this is creating problems. So for this hour paid attention to what position my upper body was in and kept...

There is no I in TEAM, but there is in BULLSHIT

Disclaimer: I know that there are people who read this blog and may not appreciate my use of language from time to time. I ask their forgiveness and indulgence. Twenty-five years ago I was in an Engineering Physics class at UT Austin. Most of the class made grades below 40 on the tests, but there... Sign in to see full entry.

God I HATE those lines

I keep my cell phone ringer turned off because when I do get calls, it is most times when I am asleep or in a meeting or something. Well this was one of the few occasions when I got a call and needed to have the ringer turned on. One of our image processors has a problem which the techs cannot seem... Sign in to see full entry.

Cured, I think

For the better part of a week I have been feeling kind of nauseated. Not really bad, just enough to be annoying. At first I thought I had gotten hold of some bad fruit. So I stopped eating fruit and decided to go strictly vegetables for a while. Then today I noticed I still had a bit of the nausea... Sign in to see full entry.
