The Happy Moron

I went back to school this week.
Here’s how it was – I saw a notice in the church bulletin for a three session course on Christian Life and Witness, sponsored by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
I thought, “That has to be good; I should go.” and so I went.
Part of the little course package they [...]

Blogging has been sparse lately.
During the week that I logged my time, I blogged every day. It wasn’t any more difficult of a week that this week, but I managed to find time to fill out the log and post it.
Really, it came down to a decision. I remember feeling tired and wanting to go [...]

Wherefore art thou, Time?
A little classic literature today. Aren’t we all looking out the balcony longing for a little more time? But Romeo and Juliet is just so… sappy idealized. I like the practicality of Mr. Micawber.
“Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen nineteen six, result happiness.
Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds [...]

Nothing too special about it.
A. Lurkar rightly raised the issue that I haven’t yet protected my schedule from being indexed by the search engines and other web-crawlers. It’s possible that my week of Feb 01-07 will live on the internet forever.
I’m just not sure what kind of trouble this could cause me. There’s nothing particularly [...]

The log is up.
Not much to see on a Thursday, I’m afraid – Work – Clean – Cook – Bible Study – Blogging – Bed.
The response to this little jaunt has been positive from all manner of folks. And my Mom hasn’t nagged me yet although she’s been on poor Shaun’s case.
Maybe come end of [...]

Wednesday log is up.
Don’t forget to pay Shaun a visit!
Poor time-tracking during work hours today. I didn’t dedicate as much thought-space to logging as on Monday or Tuesday. I think it showed. In reality, I spent more time websurfing than might meet the casual eye, perhaps because I managed to break up my surfing into [...]

As you can see, I didn’t manage my time well enough to talk too much.
Shaun’s day is here.
A pretty average Tuesday. The lesson of the day is that an engrossing, story based game is very difficult to pull away from. I started playing Dragon Age with the intent to play for just half an hour, [...]

The log for my first day of detailed timekeeping is up.
Approximate time on the internet: 2 hours 15 minutes.
Says Janet,
“ooh now this is a dangerous idea… I should try it!”
Is it responsible for a person with my controlling and obsessive tendancies to log everything he does at a high level of granularity?
I’m checking my watch [...]

A while back, I mused about treasures.
Treasures are, by definition, those things that we treasure. But what is the act of treasuring? How do we express, how do we manifest the act of treasuring?
Does it mean we get a warm fuzzy feeling inside when we think of our treasure? Does it mean we are willing [...]

I’m posting this here for the benefit of my sister – she’ll probably stumble across it here. But you might enjoy it too

Cheating is a thin slice of human nature that doesn’t change. We can grow up, but we can’t grow out of it.
We want something. Our experience tells us it is a good [...]
