Sick day guilt

https://www.completerehabsolutions.com/blog/edqrrkxq1 Many months ago (and 2 blog software iterations ago), I did an experiment which involved waking up every morning at 5AM. It was difficult, but I made a video podcast every morning, and it was fun. At the end of the 30 days, I went back to waking up around 7AM, and life went on as normal. Ironically, my work … Read more

So now I have to get famous

First off, I fully believe that “famous people” are absolutely normal people. Often quirky, but that’s not an attribute reserved for the famous. They’re just people. If there is a difference, it’s the huge disadvantage they have because they’re known by so many more people than they know themselves. So what’s a star to do? Good question, and one that … Read more

Review: My free Senseo

I signed up for a free coffee maker. (The promotion is over, sorry) Part of the deal is that I share the coffee with friends, and they’ll love it so much they’ll rush out and buy the $70 machine for themselves. Here’s my review. 🙂 First off, I wish they’d have sent me a different color, but beggars can’t be … Read more

So I walked into the ladies room…

Apparently, to me, this sign means: “Women, men in kilts, or people who enjoy sitting in recliners are welcome in this room.” Since I fall into the last category, its OK for me to stroll in, right? Here’s the deal: my wife and 2 youngest daughters were looking at “capri pants” or some such girly thing. I thought we were … Read more

Procrastination, the precursor to perfection

In an irony that I just relish, this post has been in my “draft” area for about 5 days. Are you a procrastinator? I am. My whole life I’ve been trying to avoid being a procrastinator, but I think I just needed to redefine the rules to fit my tendencies. (nothing like redefining reality to suit your own needs, eh?) … Read more

From My 10 to his 8

I was going to post about 10 ways to make blogging fulfilling, but while I was surfing earlier, I came across a much better post. His list was slightly different, and only 8 points — but I’ll just send you a link. It was a great read. I’m going to follow his advice, and leave him a comment. Maybe he’ll … Read more

My vaporware journal

I must admit, I’ve never had a journal. I know, I know, for someone who loves to write so much, it seems a shame not to have a journal. I never really realized how sad it was until I started regularly blogging. I wish I had a journal for the last 30 years or so. It saddens me deeply that … Read more

Escapism, or playing poker with a purple pony…

There are some words that have bad connotations bestowed upon them. We’d argue some are deserved, like the evils of “murder”, “adultery”, “saturated fat”, or “LA Clippers.” (I had to take a cheap shot at SOMEONE, and it’s unlikely that either Clippers fan will ever read my blog…) Escapism, however, often gets a bad rap, and I don’t think it’s … Read more
