Oh... I screwed up pretty bad, but fortunately never got caught. er... depending on the statute of limitations, which I think are mostly expired by now.
I still maintain the the most valuable part of a college education is not what you learn. It's what you realize you don't know.
Stick around a blue-collar bar full of folk that never went to college, for an evening or two. You'll find a bunch of people that think they know everything. Knowledge may be knowing stuff, but wisdom is knowing when to shut up. :-) I'm still working on that.
Another great learning place is the military. Again, it's not about what you learn, but it is about what you learn about people. When your life will in fact depend on the person next to you, you learn to assess people quickly and efficiently. You find out that you can tell right off the bat whether this newly met person is somebody that you can trust holding the other end of the rope, or trust behind you with a gun.
Hah... how do people have the time to do these things? Man...
That's a hoot... :-)
It is always that way...but I expect ecurbh will appreciate that regular income for a long time to come.
Next week, the wife and I are going to head over to Idaho for some skiing (no snow here) and meet up with my nephew who graduated from Air Force Academy last year (he based in Mountain Home, Idaho until flight school starts in May). We're meeting him, his girl friend and his mom and dad for a few days skiing at Bogus Basin near Boise. So I'll have some time then...but still not in front of the computer!
'zactly. :-)
Congratulations, ecurbh!!
Warthog over Battle Creek yesterday.
They're as common as 2Js heli-buddies, and for the same reason.
Email still down. Can't get work done - ack!!
Good mornin'.
Vey quiet here. Lot of people out. Hope nothing goes wrong...
Did you see were I read the "Pippin" story you were talking about?
A little practice never hurt anything...
How fun is that! Thanks, Rose!
Morning, folks!
I will definitely remember those words and I promise not to wield this power unless it is in the defense of the innocent.
Namely me. ;-D
Mornin', Ruthy!
~sip~
Gosh, I'm stoopid today. Stayed up too late. I just tried to explain a few things to a user and ended up completely tongue-tied.
hehehehe...
I know the feeling. I haven't gone to sleep any earlier than midnight for over a week now.
Most of it is my fault. Between the computer and reading novels. I don't finally turn off the lights and close my eyes until I force myself.
This weird schedule all started because my mom was letting Alyson take naps at 5pm and naturally, Aly wouldn't go back to sleep until midnight. I had to train my body to stay up later because I cannot go to sleep if she is still awake.
*shrugs*
I need coffee......
HAPPY 34th BIRTHDAY, SEAN ASTIN!
