There Was No Pain

Thursday, November 12th, 2015

There is no pain There is no pain. Not when I keep my arm still. It has only been eleven days since the accident. I’m sure it’s all part of the healing process, even the sharp pain felt during lateral arm movement. My Doctor thinks that it is just a slight tear in my rotator […]

On the loss of a pet

Friday, April 5th, 2013

I had both a cat and a dog while growing up. I wasn’t there when either one of them died; I had moved away and they were no longer as large a part of my life as they once were. I was sad when I heard, but I was able to move on. Then there […]

Adjustment

Thursday, April 4th, 2013

In the past I’ve attempted, in many posts, to stay in character. I may do that again in the future, but for now, I’ve decided that I’m going to be a bit more real for a while.

Engagement Story

Sunday, February 24th, 2013

Part 1 A formal discussion I missed a phone call. When I look back at my call records neither method shows that my phone rang. None the less, the voicemail was there. “Would you give me a call please?” He must have finally received the telegram! Telegram? Oh yes, I went shopping for a ring […]

Offsite Storage Utilities

Tuesday, February 8th, 2011

I have been recommending (and using) Mozy unlimited personal backup for quite some time. On February 1st, 2011 I received notice that they will no longer be offering unlimited data backup for a low price; as this is what sold me on Mozy, I have decided to cancel my account. The advertisements and reviews of […]

A Reminder of Future Things

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010

I spent a brief allotment of time in the quarters of a shipmate today. Gazing around, I observed pictures and place-mats hung with care, doubtlessly colored by his fledglings. This reinvigorated my desire to have children. I absolutely look forward to the day I become a father, when I will hang my son or daughter’s […]

Wil Wheaton Has Changed My Life

Monday, June 28th, 2010

Earlier this year I attended Phoenix Comicon, this is when I broke down. I broke down and started looking at Twitter – no, I do not have an account, but I started watching people’s tweets. I now have several people, including Wil Wheaton, I follow using the RSS feeds provided by twitter in Google Reader. […]

Trust the Internet, the Internet Knows All

Saturday, June 5th, 2010

Last weekend the ship’s company went to Phoenix Comicon, it was thoroughly enjoyable. During the last days of the convention we were holed up in a hotel for a night, rather than spending it on the ship. As the crew remained awake for a few hours past normal, it was apparent that a food run […]

No Reservations

Saturday, April 3rd, 2010

Four customers were refused entry to Cheeburger Cheeburger during regular business hours. The entire week we all looked forward to going to Cheeburger Cheeburger. It has been some time since we have been to this wonderful place, and at least one member of the group had not been before. When we arrived, at 8:03, we […]

One of the Five Worst Burgers

Sunday, March 14th, 2010

After watching a film at the Chandler mall I found that I was hungry, though I did snack during the movie. It was eventually decided (because Chili’s was closed) to go to Applebee’s – this was a mistake. I ordered the “cowboy burger” a dish I have had in the past. What came out looked […]
