I don’t enjoy mornings as much as I used to. It’s not just that I am getting older, having trouble sleeping and just hate to get up. At least it’s not all due to that. I think it is because right now, in a sense, the mornings are no longer mine. There are a few [...]

I think by now that just about everyone who might be connected to any electronic device or back-fence communication knows that Osama bin Laden is dead. The news was announced yesterday after first hurtling around the world on Twitter and other social networks, then the media. Too many reports to choose from for my obligatory [...]

So, I think I’ve come to an agreement with myself on time. I wake up before the dawn on most mornings, get my coffee, feed the obnoxious cat, and almost immediately start dithering about which to do first while everything is quiet. My stuff, or stuff for work. Well, no more. Dawn, I have decided, [...]

I don’t know what to think. I am anti-war, but is a “humanitarian” war better than an offensive or defensive war? I think, often, the same people wind up losing out in the end. Still, you see and hear stories of people being killed and maimed and wondering where “the West” is, how come we [...]

Or, rather, I have been writing. A lot. Probably doing more writing in a day now than I’ve ever done before. But I’ve not been writing. And, of course, there is a difference. My book? I open the software, look at it, perhaps tap out a couple of ideas or so, then… well, I don’t [...]

That’s the way it’s really supposed to work, huh? I am learning the value of that, though my natural inclination is more toward “think. do. plan.” Which, sometimes, does not work out so well.I am dwelling on this this morning because I am in the middle of two things, both of which I want to [...]

My mind has been like a butterfly lately, unable to settle on just one thing. Or, since I seem to be more distracted by online poop equivalents, toxic posts and threads and such (well, as well as some really good ones), perhaps a better comparison is the common house fly. But even when I am [...]

Well, I accomplished not one thing from my list of goals yesterday, but I’m neither sad nor sorry. (A distinct lack of guilt when I fail at something is one of my issues, I think.) Anyway, once I got all my goals out of my head and down on paper (sort of), that seemed to [...]

You know what I realized this evening? I need to do some writing that is more professional and presentable, as opposed to just nattering on like I usually do. Only, backwards though it may be, I am not going to do that here. (Well, unless I want to, that is. This is finally my place [...]

So, I am at the end of this block of classes and I have to come to terms with a horrifying realization. I really, really dislike the studying of literature. Mind you, I realize that I spent a good portion of the class sick as a dog and that has colored my perception, but I [...]
