First Steps

Uncategorized 1 Minute

I was watching Bull Durham one day recently and Crash said that once in while he just needed to “howl at the moon”.  That is the way I feel.  The weather this winter has me feeling listless and hibernatingish (yes that is a real word).  I have had to take several “stop and breathe” beaks just to avoid going completely off the tracks.

HOWLING:

I hate (really hate) cold weather and ice.  I hate it that I can’t ride my motorcycle.  I hate it that people can’t come look at our house and buy it so we can move to Florida.  I hate having to wear lined pants just to walk the 100 feet from my car to work.  I hate it that the best time to look at the moon and the stars is when it is 5 degrees outside.  However, I do like it when our prissy dog won’t do his business cause it’s too cold outside and he wants to come back inside.  He just turns around in a little circle and stands at the door waiting to be let back in.

BREATHING better

I feel some better now, hope anyone reading this does too.

Ciao

I am a retired geek who is just trying to stay sane and healthy. These blog posts are my ramblings and a way to let off some steam or talk out loud about interesting issues or maybe joust a few windmills.

  3. I’m starting a new internet blog directory and was wondering
    if I can submit your website? I’m trying
    to grow my directory slowly by hand so that it maintains
    good quality. I’ll make sure and put your website in the proper category and I’ll
    also use, “First Steps | The Purposeful Geek” as your anchor
    text. Make sure you let me know if this is alright with you by mailing me at: tabithahimmel@gawab.com.

    Thanks!

  7. Heya fantastic website! Does running a blog
    such as this take a large amount of work? I’ve
    virtually no understanding of programming but I had been hoping to start
    my own blog in the near future. Anyways, if you have any ideas or tips for
    new blog owners please share. I know this is off topic but I just wanted to ask.
    Appreciate it!

    1. It takes me a few hours each week. I use WordPress as my hosting platform so basically all I do is write the posts and publish them. If you want to blog or write in general, don’t wait. just start. It costs nothing except your time to setup a blog on a free hosting site. It can be very cathartic and scary at the same time. Good luck with your writing.

  21. Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
    The words in your article seem to be running off the screen in Opera.
    I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something
    to do with web browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know.
    The design look great though! Hope you get the problem fixed soon.

  31. Hello, There’s no doubt that your blog might be having web browser compatibility issues.
    When I take a look at your web site in Safari, it looks fine however,
    when opening in Internet Explorer, it’s got some overlapping issues.
    I just wanted to provide you with a quick heads up! Apart from that, great site!

    1. I think it depends on the version of web browser. I have had some notes from folks who can’t read on safari and others who can only read it on IE. I use safari and chrome and haven’t seen anything crazy, but who knows. It could also be something WordPress is doing, formatting, etc. Keep reading.
