Cookie time
May. 29th, 2014 04:08 pmI have again built up a supply of fortune cookie fortunes. Here is the latest batch in the order that I grab them out of the pile:
1) Fear drives you and makes you better
2) You cannot manage men in battle. You manage things, you lead people.
3) Don’t be hasty; prosperity will knock on your door soon.
4) You feel restless-change is just around the corner
5) You are a traveler at heart. There will be many journeys.
6) Go after what you want: there is no time like the present
7) The architect of your destiny is yourself
8) Avert misunderstanding by calm, poise and balance.
9) A merry heart does good like a medicine
10) Accept compliments and give praise
11) All things come to him who waits
12) Courage is the mastery of fear- not the absence of fear

Feeling old
Feb. 11th, 2014 08:42 pmNo, it wasn’t getting the AARP card in the mail. It wasn’t baggers at the supermarket asking if I needed help carrying things to my car.
What’s really making me feel old is this Slopestyle skiing at the Olympics.
Skiing on railings? Skiing down the hill backwards?
That’s not how we did it when I was a kid.
Maybe I shouldn’t have given up skiing back in 78.
But, when your instructor is run over by a train while skiing, it makes you think.
And, he wasn’t even going backwards…

Perhaps my clock is broken
Jan. 15th, 2014 04:22 pmMy clock said 4:20.
I looked in my desk drawer.
There was a key there that said 420 on it.
I tried it in the lock on my file cabinet.
It did not fit.
My clock must be broken.

New year’s cookie review
Jan. 2nd, 2014 09:40 amEvery time I get Chinese food, I keep the fortune in the fortune cookie and
post them when I’ve got a bunch.
Here’s the bunch now:
1) You emerge victorious from the maze you’ve been traveling in.
2) You cannot love life until you live the life you love.
3) This is your day! Expect great results with those ongoing works.
4) Pure logic is the ruin of the spirit.
5) A light heart carries you through all the hard times.
6) Be cautious while walking in darkness alone.
7) You will win success in whatever you adopt.
8) Find a peaceful place where you can make plans for the future.
9) Win as if you were used to it, lose as if you enjoyed it for a change.

Another failed apocalypse
Dec. 16th, 2013 07:51 amI don’t know who has been put in charge of the apocalypse, but they’ve got
to get a better team.
I can just see their status meeting now.
“OK, we’ve got snow on the pyramids for the first time in more than a
century! When is the comet going to reach maximum?”
“Ummm, it melted.”
“What? Do you know what it took to get snow in Egypt?”
“I wanted the comet to be really bright, so I sent it very close to the sun
and it broke up.”
“This is Kohoutek all over again!”

Wow, what a mistake
Nov. 26th, 2013 09:00 pmOne of my high level characters is a hunter in World of Warcraft.
I was running one of my wife’s lower level characters through an instance to get her more experience points.
When we came to the end of the instance there was a cool monster. So, I used my hunter powers and tamed it to be a cool pet.
Sadly it was something my wife had to defeat to finish the adventure.
Ah well. We just had to start over and run through it all again.
But, I got to do it with a cool pet…

It is obvious when you think about it...
Oct. 9th, 2013 03:34 pmI've heard from several people things like "The Back to the Future movies say we'll have flying cars by 2015. That's only 2 years away, where is my flying car, hoverboard, self drying clothes and all the other stuff they showed?"
I guess it's my fault we don't have them since I'm working on giant robot freezers, right?
But, it occurred what the problem is.
We're in the Biff version of reality, not the Doc Brown one. Somewhere in Vegas, Atlantic City or Connecticut is Biff with that guide to betting he got in 1955.
This explains so much!
Now, we just have to wait for Marty and Doc Brown to get the book back in 1955, and the universe will reform around us with flying cars and all!
I hope they do it soon...

I guess he shouldn’t have counted on me
Sep. 14th, 2013 10:49 amOh no! I exposed him and betrayed his trust!
Does this mean something?
Jul. 30th, 2013 08:49 pmDoes it mean something when my Tardis key gets tangled with my GPS receiver, a patch cord and my memory stick? It sounds like one of those things that on the show they'd say "How could you let that happen?!?!"
