Sometimes you want to slow things down. The first time I read The Hobbit, I wondered how long the Misty Mountains song would go on in the chapter. I also remembered thinking Thorin as a jerk. Not just any jerk, but a bonafide, numero uno, block-headed, stubborn, and curmudgeonly as Tolkien described him as older … Continue reading Music Monday: Misty Mountains by Richard Armitage and Dwarf Cast
I wrote about crossing my fingers for a spot in a Web Design introductory course. I can uncross the digits as I got the call saying they have a spot. It's a good deal: Work pays while I wait for a spot after students register. It's a fair exchange.

The new CPU has Windows 8.1, but I save my work on a stick, attached to my lanyard around my neck. My office computer, a laptop … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Technical Support

Many people my age either have kids entering elementary school, or kids ready to graduate from high school. Some have married more than … Continue reading Music Monday: I’m An Adult Now by Pursuit of Happiness
I like to write. I belong to a writer's group, and we published an anthology, I blog here, and now I blog a little more for Red River College's Library. I also tweet. Most of the time things go into out into the world, a few people replying in kind. The comments are great. I … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Stats Magically Exploding, or When Richard Armitage is Your Patronus’
