a while back I wrote about a trip to San Diego and meeting a fellow named Robert. At any rate, he was doing well for a while but the latest report I got from Jim is that Robert isn’t doing well and was not given very long. At any rate, I wish I had better […]

Well, I’ve had an interesting week. Busy as hell, but not bad. My BOA gig had me trying to break a new software system.. my specialty. I can do that without even trying .. unfortunately. The month of October has started. Halloween stuff is out earlier and earlier each year. I hate seeing Halloween stuff […]

Matt number one is my hero.  You should see his website http://wherethehellismatt.com/. I wish I had the guts to do what he did. I have a fairly secure job and income, the idea of dropping everything and taking off for a while seems VERY appealing, but I don’t think I could do it. Matt number […]

I just read the first few pages of Alan Greenspan’s new book “The Age of Turbulence: Adventures in a New World”. It looks amazing. I’m ordering it right now. I’m always on the prowl for something good to read. I tend to like Politics, History, mystery/sci-fi/, and Computer reference books. Basically, if it has pages, […]

The week in review. The Linux class started at Pace University this week. I have seven guys in the class (in all the Linux classes I’ve taken & instructed, not one woman; go figure), and it seems like a good group so far. Pace has been a bit disorganized in having the materials, computers , […]

A lot of people ask me to explain Quants to them. It’s a bit difficult, so I I found this ARTICLE ON QUANTS that is a fairly interesting read as well as a reasonable explaination to what it’s all about. While I’m not on the financial end of things, I do write software for the […]

In a stunning last minute decision, I’ve decided to register for school again.  I’ve taken a semester or two off because I’ve been teaching the Linux Engineering course at Pace University’s Computer Learning Center, and wanted to take a bit of time to see what that would do to my schedule.  I wasn’t  really planning on […]

I don’t generally go away on Labor Day weekend, mostly because everyone else goes away that weekend.  I’m not a huge fan of sitting in traffic on the way home, or crowded airports, or hotels jammed with idiots (everyone else who’s not me). So, it was a quiet weekend for Rosie and I. We worked […]

This weekend Rosie and I attended a Chinese Wedding in Manhattan.  The recption was held on 39th Street between Park Avenue and Maddison Avenue. We had a really good time. Most of the girls from Rosie’s Dragon Boat team were there, so lots of shots and dancing ensued. One thing I’ve noticed during my travels is that […]

Rosie and I went to a Murder Mystery Dinner with Lynn and Larry last week. It was good for a bunch of laughs. I’d say the Killing Kompany put on a good show. Rosie went upstate to her dads house for a few days with her sisters, so it’s been kind of quiet at home. […]
