I want to write something but I don’t know what. So, I’ll just throw out some random comments.
There is a group called “Code Pink” protesting a Marine recruiting center in Berkeley, California. I’ve been keeping up with the story for a while. It’s official now, though. They are crazy.
I want to live closer to my friends in Dallas, but I also want to keep living in the country. Moving to Dallas would, I’m sure, shorten my life.
Sometimes I want to quit my job, sell all of my stuff and just head out the door. Sometimes I don’t. Nothing stopping me, though. Mmmmm…….
I bet Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are tired. Not as tired as I am, though, of hearing about their race for the nomination.
Speaking of politics, if the Democrats win the White House and Bill O’Reilly were to suddenly be cancelled, would Keith Olbermann cease to exist?
Why is it that, at a time like this, when my job is making me exhausted, I can’t sleep? I get home, sometimes in the wee hours of the morning, and just lay there watching infomercials and “Planet of the Apes.”
Technology is great, but I think I hate it. We have recently added IP phones to our office, which means modifying all of DNS records, and our MX records for email, and our internet provider, who is using multiple T1 lines to accommodate our IP phones and dedicated lines for data amongst our three distinct office sites. Of course, our VPN settings have changed as well, although supposedly we won’t need them with our dedicated lines. We might use DSL as a backup in case the T1 QOS isn’t met. And I hardly need to mention that our internet gateway settings have changed since our internet access is now routed remotely. We also need to add new A records to our DNS settings, because we’ve also mover our website host server. This means a whole new IP number for DNS record with Network Solutions, which, of course, trickles down to everthing website related. Hopefully our nameserver update has propagated by now….I’m so glad I got into the summer camp business. (I don’t know what any of this means, by the way.
I’ve grown to really like sushi. And, I’ve learned to eat with chopsticks. Except rice. That’s crazy talk.
My 25th high school reunion is coming up this summer. I don’t think it’s possible that I could care less. I hated high school (except wrestling.) Scariest wrestler of all time:
Ok, that’s it. I have to get back to work.
Oddly enough, it sounds like we’re in the same business when it comes to technology. The only difference - you get a beautiful background and get to walk around in shorts. Hmmm…I envy you sometimes Daver.
Marques, I’d really like to talk to you sometime. Why don’t you give me a call, or email me your number. Hope all is well.

Hey! Your random thoughts made me chuckle! I’m with you on the feelings about the class reunion. Mine is this year too. Hmmmm…I think I will just happen to have other plans that weekend. lol.
One of my favorite books is Thoreau’s Walden. I can spend all day pulling quotations from it but your picture of Dallas traffic made me think of one of the more famous. Its from Chapter 2 entitled Where I lived, and What I lived for, “I went into the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.”
Hey Dave,
how are you? We’re living in OKC these days with three little girls…life is crazy, busy.
would love to hear from you

I am glad you admitted to not really knowing all that tech jargon…I was about to go and study my brains out and we all know studying your brains out well, leaves you brainless!
