Welcome to Baltimore

I don’t “love” many things, but I do love travelling…traveling…going places.  It makes me feel important to go places, like I have “business” to take care of here or there.  Airports have always fascinated me, train stations too.  This week I’m in Baltimore, Maryland, the Inner Harbor area for an education conference.  So far, very…

My Week with the Psychic Hotline

reposted, because very few of you read it.  and it was fun. I’m not psychic.  Nobody is.  However, that doesn’t mean it’s not fun to be a psychic.  This is about my experience working for the Psychic Hotline.  Those of you who are psychic, you somehow probably already know, so don’t bother reading.  The rest…

What are your biggest expenditures?  Your location, your supplies, and your people.  If you go cheap on location, you…

Dr. House, paging Dr. House

(reposted, and less relevant because the show has new characters than when this was written, but you still haven’t read it, so deal with it.) I don’t watch much television, maybe only three shows: some sports, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and I occasionally watch House, but only because someone else is watching it and I’m…
