I am on day 3 of not smoking.  Today has been the hardest so far.  Everybody has gone back to work and school.  There’s no one here to entertain me today, just me, myself and I.  And we are not always good company for each other.  There isn’t much excitement in cleaning house or talking…… Continue reading The List, Me, Myself and I

I spend a lot of time being ‘tech support’ for my family and friends when they have issues with their computers, cell phones, digital cameras, microwave ovens, whatever.  Usually, I do this over the phone and sometimes with little to zero intimate knowledge of the software or hardware in question.  It is a gift that…… Continue reading Career Change?
