This week, in honor of the fact that I have been on crutches since Saturday (due to a severe sprain of my left ankle), I thought I’d do something different from a Caption Fun Comic. So, I present to you:
10 things that suck about crutches!
Stairs might as well be mountains!
Can’t sneak up on -anybody-.
Everyone asks, [...]
Well.
Some of you who haven’t known me very long, are completely unaware of my ability to hurt myself.
We’ve sort of touched on the fact that I am a FANTASTIC QC type person for software. Heck, I’ve broken things that people said were unbrokable. But I am also quite adept at finding myself at an ER [...]
*Silently, the jungle Panther stalks across the bed, hunting the unknown. Focused, attentive, nothing gets past his watchful eye. He pauses, sniffing the blanket before him and the gentle slope rising and falling just a step or two away. Could there be some fouls beast waiting, just on the other side? Could this be the [...]
*pretends to be asleep, opens one eye, rolls eye around – no sign of cat. Slips out of bed as quietly as possible, pauses, listening. No cat.

I was thrilled and honored to be asked to join in [...]
I once participated in the planned creation of a new religion.
When I was living in Chattanooga, TN, I worked for a corporation called Gemline. Sadly, that company is no more (it was a great / fun place to work overall). Anyway, almost every day, I had lunch with my friend Todd. Among the plentiful and [...]
Okay folks – help a guy out!
I’ve got the podcast listed on iTunes again! What I need from you is a little love. I’m back on iTunes (I even put all the past episodes up on the new domain!) but, as you can see from this screen shot, I don’t have any Customer Ratings or [...]
*sneaks into the living room looking for the cat. finds him sound asleep in his bed. Pauses, listening to the gentle snore, then sneaks out of the living room.
