Where did the time go?

By Kirk M | Published December 7, 2009

Good god where did the time go? Seems like I haven’t been here since November 11th. Must have been unbelievably busy or something (we were, no doubt about it).
Unfortunately, it’s really late and I need to get to bed so I’ll have to do some catching up tomorrow sometime. Sorry about that but ‘tis the [...]

Turned out to be one of those days, today. You get up, chock full ideas, subjects to write about, research you want to finish, comments to answer and what happens?

Question Before Bed

By Kirk M | Published November 29, 2007

I wonder which glue would be most effective for reattaching the loose soles of my favorite pair of "comfortable sneakers". Super glue, hot glue, Gorilla glue or rubber cement? An inquiring mind wants to know.

The Four O’Clock Shower

By Kirk M | Published November 29, 2007

I discovered something yesterday afternoon that I should have discovered when I first had to leave the workforce for good: The four o’clock shower.
