Advent of the non-response
Is it just me or does it seem like a non-response has become the standard today? It seems that if a phone call or email is made and the appropriate response is negative or less than critical, no response will be made at all. Personal contacts, friends, clients and companies among others seem to practice this with little exception. Is this as common as it seems to me? Is it right? Is it fair?...

Aiden's Talents
Aiden has definitely got a whole pile of new spoken talents. He’s most proficient at identifying and joyfully expressing “sheep”, “frogs”, “goats”, “cars”, “babies” and others.

Mobile Post
I can post from my phone (Motorola Rizr Z3 with a 2GB microSD card). Although now that I’m technologically socializing the iPhone is looking about as attractive as ever.

To an evening of wishing and waiting, hoping and...
Tonight I wait on our overseas providers, hoping for an update regarding Visual Source Safe even though I’ve told them to discontinue efforts in that regard. In reality I need to hear anything except more excuses as to why work could not proceed due to some hurdle they imply we created for them.

Diagnosis: Medicine
The Dr says a higher dose of Methotrexate is in order. Perhaps via self injection to help mitigate the side effects. I’m for that if the next few weeks prove it beneficial and my new dose causes too much suffering. I have a new supplement to try (Arthro-Complex) and a prescription for folic acid that could help with the side effects. The scale at his office is lying, it says I’m at...
