Great pic Jeff.
Ain't that almost torture for you when the air biscuit is rising or the barking spider is barking or the O-ring oboe needs to be played? The ole sphincter whistle starts a tune or thunder from down under and out back is rumbling or the Tushy tickler starts tickling.

Good over the hump and on the downhill slide to the weekend Thursday!

It was super foggy on my commute to work today. I would say it was about the foggiest I have ever seen in this area. It was not Florida level foggy since we don't have a ocean close at hand, but it was thick. For sure it was creepy and eerie. It would be great to have that on Halloween.

Get well soon, David.

Mornin' y'all. Overcast morning here. The boat is still in the yard but is nearing completion. Hopefully this time next week it's sitting in its slip, or better yet, it's out for a nice sail. Arrr!

Went for my follow up with my PCP today. Going to have a colonoscopy in about 6 weeks to see how much damage there is. Surgery is still not being ruled out but he told not to worry about it too much. Everything else is great AND he took me off of the BP meds for a few weeks.

He did say that it probably was not such a bad event due to my physical condition, meaning that I am not a grossly overweight, alcoholic, smoker.


When I advised my wife of the visit I told her "He said that because I am so GD awesome the problem wasn't as bad as it could have been".

Yea, it is difficult to remain humble when you are almost perfect like us.

At the seminar yesterday I found out I was a green followed by gold and orange and had the lowest possible score for blue. I was the only real green and she asked if I was the smartest person in the room. I said of course.

Amen to that Glen!

I went through a similar seminar about 10 years ago Brent. Looks likes they haven't changed it much.

Is it for sales or just generally how to deal with people?

Mine was called "Quest for Customer Satisfaction, Satisfaction, Satisfaction" I add the echo effect but you get the idea.


No dietary restrictions for me, either. He told me the sesame seeds thing has not been proven to cause inflammation. I'm still going to stay away from things that could be an issue, though. I do not want to go back to the hospital.

I am not in sales. It was management on how to talk to each other.

Our CEO likes short, concise emails. I told the speaker I had the distinction of sending emails to the CEO that were too short and concise. Some people are never happy.

I am sure not much has changed in ages for this type of thing. I did find out they had a lot of preconceived notions about what IT people like to do that were totally wrong.

Ya know, I think the folks that sell these seminars get the most out of them.

That last is one of my favorites. The PHB reminds me of someone from my past.
