Today is Flag Day

Yesterday was a pretty productive day!  That is, until I turned into a grouch.  It seems, lately, that every productive day is followed by a blah day ...like today.  It doesn't have to stay that way if I make a greater effort to be productive without going overboard.  No matter that what constitutes going overboard doesn't seem like so much.  If not much is too much, I need to figure out what to do about it.  Either do less or quit fretting about what is enough.

 Today is just a down day.  My mother-in-law calls her days like this "gown days," but I am dressed!  So, for today, I can be productive by making plans for future, more actively productive days.

Three and one-half years later

It's funny to read the early part of this blog now that so much time has passed.  It looks like the pain from the SCI was not so bad in early November.  It looks like I was feeling better then than I am now. 

 Oh, well.

The pain today is not too bad.  It's a really pretty day outside.  I'm typing and it's not hurting, but it might be healthier to be outside than inside typing on a blog and randomly surfing the web.

 I am finding some interesting sites, though.  I'm not always so lucky.  One is an interactive Periodic Table of the Elements:

Finally time to turn off that tube?
I suppose I should've known that it was just a matter of time. It was just a matter of time before the living with the MBA Presidency would soon feel like working for any medium-large size corporation. It was only a matter of time before the books could be cooked to look the way we employees need to see them to stay motivated to keep our nation-corporation intact.

Maybe we are the "labor" part of the pie of things the administration must keep under control or at the very least, satisfied. Maybe we're the "shareholders" part of that pie, in which case, it's still ok to lie according to common corporate practice...or at least spin appropriately to maintain stockholder support.

It really seems to have crossed the line from spin to lies, no matter which part of the pie represents we who live here. I felt that way as a college student, but I thought things had changed. Ha. I really should've known it was just a matter of time before the machine peeked out from behind that kinder and gentler mask.

Rats, I feel like such a Democrat or worse....today's perception of "liberal." Yegads! Anything but that, right? Not right, because who cares. Only those writing the scripts really believe that polarized liberal-conservative stuff. If not, well maybe it will be that way again soon and we'll all be just people trying to live together in a shrinking world.

So this is what a blog looks like from the inside! Looks like email from here, but it may turn out to be easier than The Daily Geek. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.
