Subtitle: Waterless in Kansas City -- Day 2 Thursday was day two of our water shortage. It started with my checking with our home owner's insurance to see if it might cover any of the expense. The answer was no. It only covers anything within the frame of the house. Anything sticking out, like pipes … Continue reading Water, water everywhere, but none in the pipes of the house
Waterless in Kansas City
Not sure exactly when it happened yesterday, but our house is currently without water. We know we had water Wednesday morning when I took my shower before work, but when Betsy went to use the sink around 10:45 a.m. there was no water. Everything seemed fine inside the house, and nothing was visible outside … Continue reading Waterless in Kansas City
No LinkedIn
Am I doing my career a disservice by not having a LinkedIn account? I don't have a LinkedIn account. I do go in cycles where people will send my requests to add them to my LinkedIn network. Some people seem pretty persistent about it. I get invitations multiple times (and I am not talking about … Continue reading No LinkedIn
Science Fiction — A Human Wave musing
What is common about all the popular science fiction television series? Okay, I don't have enough background to really make a conclusion about anything with "all" in it on a topic like this.

Just as people make a false division of life into sacred and secular, so I think there … Continue reading work week vs week end

Chromecasting — a cast of problems and resolutions
Technology -- making one item match to another -- that has been my work and frustration of the day. We went out today to Best Buy and picked up a Chromecast. We knew we didn't have an HDMI port on our old HDTV, but there was an HDMI port on the DVD player, and we … Continue reading Chromecasting — a cast of problems and resolutions
What is the Sound of Music?
The thing about seeing a musical play of something that a popular movie has been made is that you have the movie to compare everything to. But the play isn't the movie. Things are staged differently. There are even different songs. That was part of the impression I was dealing with in The Sound of … Continue reading What is the Sound of Music?

Today I take a great leap forward. This is the first blog I try writing from the Nook Color tablet as opposed to from the laptop computer. typing is a lot slower when you use single fingers instead of two hands. I can see how it os necessary for texting, but for full article writing … Continue reading one fingered typing.

I don't have to watch … Continue reading John Wayne, Swing Out, Sweet Land
