Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.

What If... in General
I suppose I am a bit lost. I've been caught in this loop for a few years. In 1999 I was in the midst of a divorce, but I knew who I was and what I wanted to be. I had a trajectory. I didn't k...
Post Fifteen in General
Another 6" of snow on top of who knows how much so far this winter. Another 2" or so on tap for tonight. I fired up the snow thrower first thing this morning. The young lady across the street ...
Snowstorm Number Fifteen in General
Talk about wasting a day. Computer wouldn't start up. I blame Bilbo Gate's crew and their predilection for shoving unwanted updates into the machine. Every time they do it gets wonkier and slo...
The Pre-Nor'Easter / Bathroom entry in General
I went out to coffee with Gary. The story of why we traded Thursday for Tuesday is that he agreed to drive down to Philadelphia with his cousin so said cousin can visit with his children before ...
Smattering in General
Last night a smattering of snow. No big deal except I didn't get to watch it fall. No snow when I went to bed. A heavy dusting when I woke up. If it's going to snow, I'd like to see it. Ne...
Really? Now we have to suspend disbelief while suspending disbelief. Never knowing what is "real" and what is some surreal flashback? And 4 minutes of content and 56 minutes of commercials an...
Crackers and Peanut Butter in General
So I was sitting here watching part of the Walking Dead marathon, a couple of saltines with peanut butter on a plate that fascinated my cat. And I realized that the marathon had just entered tha...
Killer Women in General
Well the last snow apocalypse was kind of a nonevent. We were supposed to get up to 16 inches of snow and instead got something around 6 or 8 inches. Unlike Atlanta the only thing that happened h...
http://youtu.be/M1L8dNVaanQ William Fitzsimmons has a new album coming out later this month. I've watched this video a dozen times trying to figure out what the images are trying to convey and ...
Post Superb Owl in General
Well. At 530pm I went over to Taco Bell and ordered up a batch of XXL Steak nachos and 6 "hot wings." The wings weren't hot, and the XXL steak nachos were a bag of corn chips with a can of refr...
Superb Owl Sunday in General
I'll be watching the two teams from marijuana legal states have their "Super Bowl." I'm not really invested in either, but will probably be pulling for Denver. The strange winter weather cont...
Mary Celeste in General
I suppose it is morbid curiosity. I keep hitting my favorites bar shortcut to OD. Mostly surprised to see it still functional after the panic of everyone trying to download their diaries all ...
Open Diary in General
I sometimes wonder if there is a possibility of filing a class action lawsuit against the DiaryMaster - not so much to get money, but rather in order to force him to fucking do something with OD....
Post Electra in General
Electra wasn't all that. 12-14" of drifty snow. I left it alone until the plows started moving it further into my driveway, then went out and cleared everything including the berm in about 20 m...
Well the first "snow event" is upon us, I think her name is "Electra." When did we start naming every storm? After a week's worth of build up, she may actually turn out to be stacked. Looks li...
There it goes again. I am not fully on board with PB, but the hiccup-ey way OD keeps going makes me think it might be time to get out of cyber-space and back to the real world. I suppose the tw...
Still Have Faith in General
I still have faith that OD will do that thing it does and resurrect. But when it takes five minutes for the screen to refresh when Facecrack refreshes in seconds. I guess I have started to see ...
