What Is This Morning Thing Of Which You Speak?
Why am I now (typically!) up before the sun? Does not compute!
Quitting Smoking – Day 10
Tonight I went out for dinner with a fellow employee and a couple of customers. It turned out that the fellow employee and one of the customers were both smokers. (I could totally smell it on them from the get-go, which is a new thing for me.) It felt pretty good to sit there and [...]
Quitting Smoking – Day 9
Today I travelled on business as a non-smoker for the first time in my 14-year career! I’ve got to say it was quite enjoyable (although the exit row aisle seating probably helped) in the sense that I wasn’t out huffing down three cigarettes while cutting things too close before takeoff so as to spend as [...]

Dear Register.com, Get Off My Back!
Some “legitimate” spam I receive is just stupid. Note to companies: If you are going to spam me with your marketing crap, please try to make it less crappy.
Register.com sent me the following chuckle:
Weird Scrabble
Maybe this isn’t as weird as I think it is. My friend Kai is a wicked-smart Scrabble player, and here’s where we’re at: We have each exchanged a few tiles, Kai has passed a couple of times, and I just played “bEBOP” to try and break us out of the wall we’ve managed to create. [...]
