Under the Weather

Things sure got wet and heavy today. I must have been blowing for two hours straight. If this had been a cold I would have run right out a facial tissues before the end of the first hour. Of course it’s going to freeze solid tonight and get up to a balmy 17 degrees tomorrow [...]

Open Source Software. I just don’t get it. | A reply

You never know what kind of response you might get from a post. Anyone who blogs realizes this.

Where did the time go?

Time flies and all that

They say time flies when you’re having fun. Well, it also flies when you’re too busy to notice it too.
