   I spent a number of years behind a bar. Standing still and in place is indeed tiring. Pacing, with constant movement, is energizing in comparison. I still find pacing and walking to be relaxing even decades later...

   Something like the boiling wand was available in the 1950's in the US. It had the heavy coil that was immersed in the liquid but was bent so as to hang over the lip of a cup or mug. My parents made their morning (instant) coffee with o

    I had been in DOS for almost a decade when I got my first (dial-up) unix shell. I had been using ported unix utilities (MKS Toolkit) for some time so it was somewhat less painful than being thrown into the deep end. Now I have a terminal De

    I once worked for a large, urban Episcopal church. Since it was non-profit, parishioners could donate their old computers for a tax write-off. Amongst my many duties, I converted these hulks into network terminals. They ran Novell (DR) DOS

    This reminds me of a USENET newsgroup (can't remember the name) that I frequented decades ago. It was a bar/pub/dive of some sort. Patrons adopted an appropriate personae and sat around musing over their adult beverage of cho

    I knew an osteopath in Tulsa. I asked him about the popping thing and he gave me a straight answer (I think). He said you have a fluid sealed into your joints and like all fluids in your body, there are gases dissolved in it. If you distort

    As luck would have it, today is my birthday. I am now officially 72 years old. My approach to the inevitable is, while getting older is certainly no picnic at the park, it definitely beats the hell out of the alternative. So far at least...
