01 Apr 09 Adam’s Gift
One day The Lord came to Adam to pass on some news. “I’ve got some good news and some bad news,” the Lord said.
Adam looked at the Lord and said, “Well, give me the good news first.”
Smiling, the Lord explained, “I’ve got two new organs for you. One is called a brain. It will allow you to create new things, solve problems, and have intelligent conversations with Eve.
The other is a sex organ. It will give you great physical pleasure and allow you to reproduce your now-intelligent life form and populate this planet. Eve will be very happy that you now have this organ to give her children.”
Adam, very excited, exclaimed, “These are great gifts you have given to me. What could possibly be bad news after such great tidings?”
The Lord looked upon Adam and said with great sorrow, “You will never be able to use these two gifts at the same time.”

22 May 08 The Week Flies By
It’s already Thursday, isn’t it? I think so. Heck the days fly by so quick, that it’s difficult to keep up sometimes. I don’t really have a demarcation between weekday and weekend, so it’s perhaps sometimes more of a blur.
One good thing is that I don’t get that Monday morning feeling really, although having said that, I do seem to get more phone calls on a Monday morning, after the weekend computer gremlins have been out to play.
It sure seems that way quite often anyhow. Everything is OK on a Friday night, and all gone west by Monday Morning. Sometimes I feel like getting in the car and heading west too.
Not really, although I do keep promising myself a coast to coast road trip one fine day. One fine day, when I have the money, and more to the point, when I have the time!
You see, not only do the days seem to fly by, but the hours do as well, and no sooner am I started on something than I’ve been at it for hours.
Still, I’m not one to be able to sit about and do nothing. Oh, I’m good at sitting about, too darn good at that really, but sitting about doing nothing? No. I have to be engaging my brain in something – a good book – usually something historic or scientific – or some music.
So, back to a very old concept, one that has often been used in the workplace, and some music while I work.
