This weekend, our family adopted a new family member.  Meet Thor, our kitten.  We thought he'd need a tough name to live with Aslan, our mean tabby.  The rest of the pets are pretty laid back.  The "rest of the pets" are two dogs and two cats.  When I told Dad we adopted a kitten, he said (sarcas...

Each week, I'm waited on by the same cashiers at the grocery store.  A high school friend manages the local movie theater.  My bank teller knows me and what I drive.  The guy at the gas station picks up our conversation where we left off last time.  (Yes, I go in to pay because it would be rude n...

I'm reading "The Cluetrain Manifesto" right now.  I'm enjoying the book, already a classic as it was printed way back in 2000.  One thing that strikes me as funny is that the entire book is trying to sell me on blogging, but they didn't even have the word for it yet.  It's like a creativity exerc...
