Some days it just doesn't pay to get
up. Question: Why does that describe most days?
Every time that I swear I am going to keep this
more current, the world chooses to descend upon that
intention with a vengeance. Time rushes and my
patience wears thin.
So....
Something
that I have been meaning to say for a while now -
2012.01.12a
SPRINT: Why would anyone
limit the i-Phone?
BECAUSE A 3 YEAR OLD
DOESN'T NEED A CELL PHONE.
There. I said it.

A piece of dog philosophy...
All movement should be contemplated carefully.
Movement should be avoided wherever possible.

It's been a few weeks longer than
planned, but it has been 2 weeks from hell.
Just a thought - I hope
Barenaked
Ladies is getting royalties now that there IS
pre-wrapped bacon!

Sometimes I think the world
conspires against me updating this site on a
frequent basis.
Take tonight...
FIRST
the computer (Alice) didn't want to wake up. I can
relate - I hate waking up myself.
SECOND the
wireless failed to connect. In fact, the wireless
couldn't even know it was there.
Everything
got straightened out in the end, hence this update.
Anyhow...
tonight is one of those rare occasions where I am
cooking. Stuffed pork chop.
I made the
mistake of cooking on SUN (2 days ago).
Again, stuffed pork chop.
In a wild moment of
stupidity I had gone out and bought two of the
things, a matching pair.
Then I brought them
home and realized I didn't have the appetite for
two.
Cooking one, I was rudely reminded of
all of the reasons that I hate to cook. Preparation,
Patience, and the inevitable, evil CLEANUP.
Having totally ruined my Sunday evening, now I face
the second PORK CHOP.
It is cooking even as I
write this.
The Jades are waiting for water
and I am sitting here waiting on a pork chop.
I think my tolerance for culinary activity would
have left me happier with a 7-Eleven sandwich.
POSTSCRIPT: This was much better than Sunday. So
good, this time wish I had a second. I'm
writing this now, before the cleanup. Better close
on a happy thought. :)

Well, just updated the
NETMARES section. So
many dead links to clean out. At least now
everything should be live and updated.
Also,
been trying to get a "real" blog going on this site,
but WordPress doesn't want to
be happy on a Windows SBS 2003 server.
So
far, no luck.
On the bright side, looking to
put in a new server, so MAYBE that will open things
up.
In the meantime, working on consolidating
the pics, so hopefully we'll get some up here soon.

SURPRISE! An update for all you loyal followers.
OK... I know... Been so damned long, THERE ARE NO
FOLLOWERS, much less loyal.
Anyhow - hope we can change that.
Woke up early this morning and spent a lot of
time thinking. I decided it is about time for this
old dog to see if he can make a living in the 21st
Century being ME.
Spent most of the weekend organizing my digital
photographs. About time to get them up here on the
web. More importantly, I need to get to digitizing
my OLD FILM pictures from back when I used to really
be a photographer. Those deserve to be seen. I
bought the scanner (a real film scanner, not a
wannabe flatbed - so it's about time to put it to
use.) With the coming of winter *shudder* that would
be a good project.
Anything you see on this site will be available
as prints. Time to start using my PayPal account (alx@alx.com)
for making money instead of just spending!
I tend to be a bit of a recluse (make that a card
carrying HERMIT), so social media hasn't been my
style. Guess that has to change to if I hope to make
a living being me.
Look for Facebook and Twitter soon. In the
meantime, you can always follow my little jade
friend Alice on Twitter.
www.twitter.com/AliceTJade She will pass along
your thoughts. :)
And there are all those pet peeves of mine. Time
to start POSTING instead of just muttering to
myself. (Muttering in silence.)

We are in the process of migrating to a new
server.
If you experience any difficulties, please email me

Well, I am embarrassed.
It seems that all the "improvements" look pretty
- and resulted in knocking me off the search
engines! So much for progress.
I discovered this when I went looking for links
to the poetry... links that used to be there, and
now are GONE!
You would think that search engines would grow
smarter over time. Well, they didn't and I guess I
got dumb.
Anyhow, hopefully a few changes will correct
this, and I'll be back in searchable mode before too
long.
Meanwhile, I'd like to welcome my little buddy,
Deenamite to the
web. Check her out and say hello at
http://www.alx.com/deenamite.

New
look and feel to the whole site here, so please forgive
the fact that everything isn't totally where I want it
to be.
The hope is to greatly expand the photo section. Once
upon a time, I used to do photography for a living.
(Seems like several lifetimes ago.) Thousands of slides
will take quite a bit of time to analyze and convert to
make this reflect my vision.
As you may have guessed, I am addicted to Hawaii.
Years of trips and tons of film, all lying about,
sleeping as it were. I think it is time to share.
Other passions of years gone by have been airshows
and the beauty of flight. Ah, thousands more pictures...
If every picture tells a story, I think they have
been too quiet for too long.
