The Geeky Life and Times of …. Autumn is clearly my favorite time of year. When I grew up in Texas, there were only two seasons. Either the leaves were lush and green or dead crunchy brown. Colorado offers color and brisk air that is incomparable. Here are some quotes from famous people who felt as much allurement towards Autumn as I do. 8220;Autumn wins you best by this, its mute Appeal to sympathy for its decay.” – Robert Browning.

The Geeky Life and Times of …. Each night my children and I spend anywhere between fifteen minutes and two hours together. Most of that time is spent reading before bedtime, but that time is also used to reconnect. So I asked my kids, “Do you get enough loving touches throughout the day: pats on the head, pats on the back, hugs, kisses… stuff like that? 8221; They all answered “no”. So I wondered – how much do they need? One last thought – giving my children that access to my personal space makes m...

The Geeky Life and Times of …. Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow. I’m a pushover for kids. Especially if the child has some type of disease or disorder that puts him or her at a higher risk for being teased and abused by peers. This sympathy probably stems from personal experience, but admittedly, I choke back tears when watching Hallmark commercials. What I’ve learned over these past 20 months:. Hair doesn’t grow out at the rate of an inch per month. It’s more like 3/8 of an inch permonth. Six weeks later it...

The Geeky Life and Times of …. I’m feeling [insert adjective]. As autumn begins its merry dance and trees across the still green lawn shake gold hues into their leaf tips, the wind changes shape. The sky changes its face. The rift between the livelihood of summer and the dead of winter reveals itself as an inevitable change and plasters in colorful cracking coats, exciting thoughts and refreshing the imagination. 8221;, “I’m feeling Great! 1 Drop the TV. 2 Spend that extra time reading. That negative att...

The Geeky Life and Times of …. Nietzsche’s monster allegory. It’s just a core question about the state of our souls that most theologians have to ask by trade. Who doesn’t at some time in their life feel vanquished, as in empty. I admit that there are times at work and even at play that I have to “play dead”, myself. Sometimes a business’ survival is more important at a given time and my participation to help that business, though it may be doldrum or even maddening at times, helps ...I look back at a we...

The Geeky Life and Times of …. Persevering tenderheartedness outweighs glowing charisma over time, every time. In college I was nearly as much an outcast as I was in High School, but there were times when people gravitated towards me. Typically when they felt their life was at their lowest. When all their buddies were only hanging around to poke fun of their mistakes. And when they deject you on every other front and consistently pick you last for their team. Remember that they are victims of the ver...

The Geeky Life and Times of …. The Telecommuting Family Man. As someone who has worked from an office in his house for nearly 15 years, I have the experience to help others find the discipline and configuration they need to enjoy the comfortable benefits of telecommuting that many companies are now feeling inclined to provide. The times when the lines blur a little is when you’re running your own start-up business, in which case, as I’ve heard several entrepreneurs discuss, you’d be bet...December 3, 2014.

The Geeky Life and Times of …. The Looking Glass Zoo. During my time in high school doodles were constantly being drawn on the side margins of the class notes. This wasn’t unusual; many people doodled on their notes. However, a teacher saw the doodles and felt disturbed enough by them to call in a meeting with my parents. The doodles eventually stopped. They weren’t doodles of any teachers, but rather of myself. More often than not the images resembled Edvard Munch’s “ The Scream. June 17, 2009. So today...

The Geeky Life and Times of …. Category Archives: Random Thoughts. I don’t care if you ask or not, I’m giving my opinion anyway. It wasn’t until I was in college that I found out one of our family secrets that both my Grandfather and Great Grandfather were on the initial construction crew for Disneyland. It’s one of those things that when you tell someone you get one of two responses: “Yeah, Right! 8221; or “Wow, Neat! 8221;, though the first response is usually silently spoken behind a polite smile.
