compulsive compartmentalization

Captured thoughts…on exhibit in the zoo that is the blog-o-sphere.

There is no such thing on earth as an uninteresting subject; the only thing that can exist is an uninterested person. - G.K. Chesterton

Four more days to teach classes
Then sweet sweet freedom

a vacation posting

Saturday, May 27th, 2006

Sarah is in bed reading her latest mystery novel. As usual, I’m at the computer, doing a little surfing and blogging before bed. Just another normal night, except that we’re in Wilmington making our yearly visit to our favorite bed & breakfast. Funny how we just fall into routines.
We’ve eaten too much, [...]

small victories

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006

This evening I managed to do my fastest 3 mile run to date. At 29:35, I only felt like I was going to throw up for about 6 seconds after my new record. There was a time when I would have felt like vomiting for 10, maybe even 20 seconds after pushing myself [...]

Whitewater rafting
I never fell from the raft
I’m sore all over

syrup, jogging, and comics

Thursday, May 18th, 2006

Do you know what it’s like to try and run full speed through three feet of refridgerated syrup? If you do, then you have a good point of reference what these last few weeks of the semester feel like for me. If you don’t, then I commend you and your uneventful life. [...]

profound truths

Tuesday, May 16th, 2006

I have come to terms with the fact that if I ever want to be in a management position, I’ll have to annoy a lot of people, leave reason and logic behind, and overract to the slightest problems. You can infer from this that I will most likely never be in charge of large [...]

spur of the moment pre-work postings

Thursday, May 11th, 2006

Good morning world. In a few minutes I’ve got to head out the door and trudge through another day. In the meantime, how about a blog?
Now, If I could just think of something interesting to write about. Hey! Did you know that in high school my friend Danny and I filmed [...]

Here’s a little tip. If you ever have a book to promote…take it along with you when you go out of town to promote it.

the middle for all ages!

Thursday, May 4th, 2006

I mentioned at my other site that I delcared today National Middle-Ages at work day. There are few things as demoralizing as a sea of cubicles in which people are forced to sit all day like eggs in a carton, so why not try to make the best of it?
After all, cubicles [...]

It’s Wednesday. That means I have a new comic strip up. And that, ladies and gentlemen is called shameless self-promotion. Mayhaps one day I’ll have a million dollar marketing juggenaut pushing my work on the hapless masses. Until then, I’m passing the hat around.
Whatever that means.
Also, I like the [...]

Haiku Monday

Monday, May 1st, 2006

It’s mental health day
Catch up, then walk in the woods
And now I will blog
It’s very sunny
The temperature is good
Bless you Claratin.
Celery for snacks
Hey, don’t look at me like that
I’m getting pudgy
I have lots to do
Yesterday I took three naps
I couldn’t help it
I’d been feeling down
My menu, Vegetable-less
Sometimes I forget
Nutrition? What’s that
Two weeks with nothing green [...]
