That song is still in rotation on the FM station I regularly listen to. Love it.

My computer has one on its mouse.

I always enjoy stories about your career. Sounds like you have enjoyed a lot of widely varied and challenging adventures in your corporate life, just as I have. Keep 'em coming! Thanks John. I'm trying not to be "that guy", but as I'm crushing 71, I'm becoming the old guy with stories of ...

In Mr. V's Northfork thread I tell about my work on LIRR equipment, and about the trips Mrs and I took together. My sister found a photo album from the period. Most of it is of buildings and boats. But I have a couple pictures of us in Boston.

Meanwhile on the North Fork...........

The LIRR is one of my success stories. It's the 1990's. Telecom and communications companies were thriving. Our company had a strong presence in the west coast public safety market, but very little in the utilities and transportation markets. We also wanted a national presence. My task was to find s...

He's become Beetlejuice. I didn't know he and Bobo were dating. Or maybe this is him being aspirational.

Up Here in Bathysphere (or wherever it is)

Very good. Marvelous in fact. Better than most. When my Mother died, I folded a garbage bag full of paper angel airplanes from subscription cards in magazines, and flew them off a cliff with one of my brothers. When my Father died, I did nothing. That was as much as I could muster for him. I gave hi...

Up Here in Bathysphere (or wherever it is)

True. When my brother died I was thinking about some common experiences we had, and a memory popped in my head. I was a young’n, about 20 or so, and I was giving him a ride to our Dad’s. I got in a fender-bender (my fault). The cops were called. No big deal. I got a ticket and we went on our way. (...

Corrosive stories like this come out after a death. It will be impossible for you to do this, but those of us that love and respect you have to tell you from personal experience "let it go". Our experience also says you will have to chew this rumination for a bit, but you'll get through it...

Protests at Universities across the fruited plain

PSU (Portland State Univ) in downtown Portland presently has its own student occupation going on. Our PNW meetup was just four blocks down the street from the campus a couple weeks ago (Sat Apr 20th). The news announced a bit ago that police and sheriff will begin clearing the campus today continuin...

“It’s time that Mayor [Muriel] Bowser gets aggressive in keeping safety here on this campus and the surrounding perimeter,” she said.
Same person/party who doesn’t care about school shootings.
Imagine her reaction to armed students expressing their 2A rights.

First rule of negotiating - You have to give and take Bobo. So, if you're threatening to cut their funding if they don't do it your way, will you actually fund them if they go along, or still cut their throats later?
