Spatial Ed … Or English as a Second Language, Where I Have No First

Spatial Ed … Or English as a Second Language, Where I Have No First

Recently I’ve been invited by friends to participate in many trivia and puzzle games and to take a few IQ tests. It’s funny, but I tend to perform fairly well at these things, but I never feel as if it’s an accurate reflection of my intelligence, or my lack of it. Well, actually … I don’t do that well in trivia, so I can exclude that. My mind just doesn’t have the knack for silly little details like names and…

Year 2007 in Review

Year 2007 in Review

I have failed utterly in my resolutions made a year ago. I was supposed to have been on the treadmill at least 15 minutes of everyday, but that stopped after a while.

A Missed Marketing Opportunity

A Missed Marketing Opportunity

It’s Alive!

It’s Alive!

I’ve been meaning to post more in the last couple of days, but I haven’t felt well enough to sit at the computer for very long. My eyes and head have been killing me, some weird combination of sinus headache and dehydration which strikes me when I’m vertical and which has caused me to miss seeing a meteor shower on Thursday night and attending an annual Christmas caroling party on Saturday night. I’ve been lying in bed most of the…
