where will i be on 2005.01.03?

My time at the client I’ve been working for since June 2001 is finally drawing to an end. I’m in the middle of the delicate Knowledge Transfer Process™ whereby everything I’ve learned in 3 years is compressed into 5 weeks. I’m having fun with it this time around, and it’s a lot like being back […]

the $35 cup of coffee

This morning I stopped at the Starbucks on 3rd and Arch to grab some coffee. When I walked out I was confronted with the Philadelphia DPS ticketing lady writing me up for parking in a spot that wasn’t a spot. I told her she was a real sweetheart and in reply she told me that […]

news from the closet

I’m in my master bedroom closet where I have my Sony desktop set up. I need to get on the ball and start packing for the plane ride back to Philadelphia, but I thought I would catch up everyone on all my latest eccentric goings-on. I saw ”The Forgotten” on Friday night and ”Cellular” on […]

philadelphia versus houston

Month 40 here in Philadelphia is drawing closer. The latest nuance that I just picked up on has to do with shoes. For some reason in Texas we call Foot Locker purchased shoes ”Tennis Shoes” or ”Tenny Shoes” or some variation thereof. At least that’s what I’ve been calling them all this time. Somebody let […]
