I’m reminded of one of my favorite books - ‘Illusions’ - hanging out in the blogosphere
I was reading a discussion over on Liz Strauss’s Successful & Outstanding Bloggers site (because, you know, I aspire to be one!) about a dangerous new form of comment spam, when one of Liz’s remarks in the comments caught my attention. Turns out, she is a fan (a HUGE fan) of the book Illusions, by [...]
Are you a drive-by reader?
I believe that by immersing myself in a day-long commitment to a single book, I probably get more out of it than I would if I were to read it over several shorter periods.
Do you have sufficient arrogance?
I don’t mean to ask, “Do you think you’re better than everyone else?” What I mean is, do you know just how knowledgable you really are, and do you believe in the value of what you do know?

Celebrating Dad
We had a lovely father’s day weekend here, motorcycle “bike night” on Friday and then a little shopping excursion on Saturday as the DD and I gathered our materials to celebrate on Sunday.

*Photos, and Dad, and how time gives you perspective
“It’s only when you hit your 40’s that you can look back at a picture of yourself when you were in your 20’s and realize just how much potential really lay ahead.”

*A message from Janis
Why did Janis Joplin call me today? While dressing for work I decided to take a few CD’s with me, and Janis’s “Greatest Hits” was one I happened to grab. At work, as I popped it into the computer to play, I studied the photo used for the cover art. It’s Janis in a red [...]
