Normally, I’m setting up equipment for conferences, but today I gave my own (mini, mind you). It was a “Lunch & Learn” about the Intranet redesign I just finished. Eight people showed up, so it was nice to have a small group. I liked the tall chair to sit down in and the podium to [...]

A Cool July
Literally. The weatherman said that this is the least hot July we’ve had in ages. Normally, Omaha is drowning in 100F+ temperatures by now. It’s not too late, though. These days might come in August, and perhaps we will have a warm October after all, which would be nice, because I want to get married [...]

In Omaha, we have the two obvious factions of gangs, along with some Mexican gangs. I wasn’t aware, until today, that every high school in Omaha has [...]
Rainy Days and Wednesday’s
I spent some of last night and some of the first half of the day in a panic attack. For awhile, I wondered if I should really go to the hospital. My pulse was 96. I’m not sure what my blood pressure was. I used the company’s automated bp cuff and it measured me super high [...]
