Now I only lean on the wall

Get out of the way, no time to begin

2009-09-30T16:26:45Z

Every month I need to find something new to blame for not blogging more and this time it’s going to be Evernote. Since I got back from CA I’ve been working heavy-duty with this program and by now am well into the refinement part of the process re...

Some time back on another blog I did a number of “10 years ago” posts detailing what I was doing at this time, approximate or exact, in 1996 and 1997 and etc. Those posts were fun and better yet they were valuable but I stopped because reminisci...

Home from the hills

2009-08-19T19:06:11Z

Never made it for the 5-spice chicken, nor into San Francisco at all on this visit. Instead I went to the former Gray Whale Cove beach near Devil’s Slide and ate a leftover burrito, which was a lot better than it sounds. Though it was only a tok...

Landed and grounded

Here I am in the Bay Area and totally loving it. Of course. The flight in wasn’t all that great but it wasn’t that bad either – just remind me next time to check in online well ahead of time like all savvy Southwest passengers do. Got a nice sh...

Removed from expectations of being who you really want to be

2009-07-16T14:33:27Z

Come this December 15 I’ll have been online journaling/blogging for 10 years. Not all here, of course, and what a circuitous journey it’s been: started on Diaryland, moved to Diary-X, moved again to Typepad (and lost all my Diary-X archives when ...
