    I finally got some traction on my story, “If By Reason of Strength…” I’ve had a good idea for some time but haven’t felt like I could handle the idea. Add to that the fact that I didn’t know my problem and solution, and I wasn’t making much progress. But this evening, I came into…

    01 Dec 2006 » 1 min read

    This really wasn’t all that hard. I’d guess that both vickyandnorm and strausmouse will score better than me and then see fit to humiliate me over my mere 91%.

  • Final chapter in the DirecTV saga

    01 Dec 2006 » 2 min read

    This morning, I decided to cancel DirecTV without having them try to fix the problem. There were two reasons for this. First, I’m not convinced they would be able to figure it out in one visit. Second, was a matter of cost. Third, was how the problem has dragged on all summer. I mentioned how…

    I had to reschedule my DirecTV service call tomorrow because it turns out I have to be in the office for the interview that I am supposed to do. As luck would have it, however, the next available slot that I got was Saturday between 1-5 PM, which works for me. When I called to…
