Is that my lawn or a jungle?
It looks like a jungle to me. Very embarrassing. I didn’t like the work of the last lawn maintenance people so discontinued their service without hiring another one. Huge mistake. Good news is I’ve retained another service provider and by Saturday my lawn should be back to civilization. In [...]

Driving in downtown Atlanta during peak hour is exasperating. I dislike the one way roads because if I miss one turn that means I’ve to drive few more blocks before I can turn around. Total madness. During those moments I just have to remember driving in New York to instantly appreciate Atlanta roads and drivers. [...]

Last night I had the pleasure of meeting a few interesting people most of whom identified themselves as Internationalist, an individual of international community. It was good to meet same minds. It’s not often I meet people who are well traveled or look upon the universe as one world. At least not in Georgia.
I’ve a [...]

I plan on attending Google I/O. I’m looking forward to meeting and sharing with great minds. More importantly, I want to meet the brilliant minds behind one of today’s best technology. This time I’ve managed to combine a few meetings into one trip. I’m feeling pretty good about it.
On the other side of the globe [...]

I can’t wait to take time off. I’m now leaning towards being away for the rest of the year, extending planned travel to over 2 months. I so need to get away. I just want to switch off. Even if I’m not able to build the work structure that I’m hoping to before my departure, [...]

I love good humor. Give me humor and my music, and the day will fly by no matter what. I used to receive great jokes in my inbox nearly every morning from a friend. Starting the day off with good humor used to lighten me up. I miss that. Oh well. I was surfing the [...]

I’ve slipped a little this weekend with steak and party food, not to mention chocolate ice cream all of last week. Stress was the contributing factor. I need to compensate during the coming week. I’ve got to stick to being vegetarian. Of course, no sweets.
Events of the weekend included the error of me getting into [...]

I’m having a technically challenged day, from dropped calls to dropped wireless network. It’s late afternoon and I don’t feel in the least bit accomplished for the day. If I had a private jet, I’d fly to another city right away for a change of scenery. Everything is getting on my nerve at the moment. [...]

I’m back on coffee this week. I hadn’t brewed coffee for so long at home, I forgot the measurement, or how I like it, to be more exact. My third try was a charm. It’s Wednesday night, or rather early Thursday morning, and I’m far behind at work. It’s going to be a working weekend.
I [...]

I just visited a Middle Eastern store to get a CD for an associate who is leaving the US. I took Azi’s advice and got him an Arabic CD. The owner of the store informed me she is out of basmati rice. By out, I mean there is a shortage of rice supply in the [...]
