Just what it says…General

Whenever I fly, I recall this video.

Today, I watched it on my flight home.

Via WiFi.

Sitting in a non-reclining chair.

With my teeth floating due to the extended turbulence.

Trying not to laugh too hard…

Grandpa Elliott

January 17, 2011 — Leave a comment

I’ve been in New Orleans the past few days for a meeting and tonight, while walking around the Quarter, saw Grandpa Elliott – New Orleans icon and participant in the Playing for Change project (he is at 1:05 in the video below.)

I watched him from a distance for a bit and noticed people simply passing him by – almost not “seeing” him sitting there on the corner (the way most do when walking around and seeing street people or musicians.)

If I Had A Time Machine

January 14, 2011 — 8 Comments

Today’s post prompt on “The Daily Post at WordPress.com” was:

If you had a time machine that only let you spend one hour in a different time, what date would you go to?

One additional, self-imposed caveat: …And, in going to that date, you COULD NOT change the future.

My answer:

Since I added the caveat above, I’m going to cheat slightly:  Rather than a specific time, I’m going to share about two.

Why I started

Today’s post prompt on “The Daily Post at WordPress.com” was:

What made you decide to start a blog? If you’ve blogged about this before, go back and read it. Is that still the reason? What’s changed?

My answer:

I started blogging back on March 31, 2009 and actually wrote about the “why” on April 16th of that year.  You can read that post here, but in a nutshell my reason was:

January 11, 2011: Day 365

January 11, 2011 — 5 Comments

Yes, today is 365.

One year ago, I changed the way I eat/think about food.

OK, so this is the umpteenth time I’ve done this.  Been there, done that, got the t-shirt, it fit, then it didn’t.  But dag nab-it, I’m trying to make it stick this time.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so here’s one that shows this past year: Continue Reading…

In an effort to declutter my various inboxes, I’ve been clicking the highlighted link below a lot this past week.  I get so much email that I don’t read…why not declutter?

Still thinking about my Twitter and Facebook lists…

Are you decluttering as well?  Give it a shot!

Today’s post prompt on “The Daily Post at WordPress.com” was:

Share a story about a memorable job interview

My Answer

Quite a few years ago, I got a call from a headhunter looking to fill a job – they actually were calling a number of people where I worked as they had quite a few openings.  They weren’t telling all of us…but we still figured it out.  I ended up finagling the company’s name out of the person (hey, I’m not stupid!) and said I’d interview for the position.

I’m sure that process happens quite often – though for me it was a first.

On to the memorable part…
