COVID-19 – Fourth Update

It is 6:40 AM on Thursday April 30th, 2020. There is a dense fog outside which is so thick it is almost like a light rain. Since there hasn’t been rain for a few weeks and none in the forecast the moisture is welcome. The shelter-in-place order was just extended until the end of May.…… Continue reading COVID-19 – Fourth Update

COVID-19 – Third Update – How things change

As time advances we as human beings forget what life was like for our ancestors. Yes, we can read the history books and watch old movies but we never really understand all the differences between the past and our current environment. We may live on the same planet but the worlds of each generation are…… Continue reading COVID-19 – Third Update – How things change

Data Catastrophe Close Call

I almost had a data catastrophe last week which is worthy of its own post. It all comes down to not being able to remember a password and this is the second time this year I’ve almost had a catastrophe like this. The first time was when I woke up in the middle of the…… Continue reading Data Catastrophe Close Call

I put in my favorite quotes but then it just sat, forgotten. So without further delay let me get to it and post it. While people brood, time skips…… Continue reading Einstein’s Dreams

COVID-19 – Coronavirus

It is 5:26 AM on Sunday March 15th, 2020. These are strange times. I wanted to get this post in because we are in the middle of virus hysteria and it will be interesting to read my thoughts many years from now. The future is always uncertain and hindsight is always 20/20. This is so…… Continue reading COVID-19 – Coronavirus

My Versace Belt

I’ve worn the same belt for over 20 years. In October 2019, I finally decided that the wear on it was enough and it was time to consider buying a new belt. This was no easy decision as I am fascinated with time and highly value items that are sentimental, things that are part of…… Continue reading My Versace Belt
