Forgotten Payload

I filter my mail. Now, before you go claiming that I don't like you, I also scan my junk mail box to see if you did send me a message. Today, there was a surprise in my junk mail box. Well, there is always a "surprise". That is why I filter my mail to avoid such surprises. It looks like a certain Zhang forgot to attach his payload before he sent it. Now, I don't feel bad when I forget to attach documents to my emails. After all, even the professionals can forget.



You have to click on it to read it. I wonder how many people replied and said "you forgot to attach your payload"

Overslept

I forgot to set my clock. So I woke up at 6:30 instead of 5:30. I was shocked and saddened to be drinking water (and miss breakfast). Then it hit me (not taking the hint that was still dark outside) that with the time change, the time of sunrise changes as well.

If you want to get philosophical about it, I would agree with you that all this time change business and even the concept of night and day is silliness to the sun. But, tell me, do you have the energy to get philosophical, well do you?

Toys and Play

In honor of the impending enchilada (if not already impended), I dedicate this post to appropriate toys. An ideal candidate are plastic sea animals - graceful, colorful, peaceful. But, sometimes despite the best of the parent's best intentions, the kids have dolphin wars. That kind of defeats the porpoise.

An Analsys of Blog Posts

I realize the some of these blog posts are down-right depressing. Others are up-lefting.

Murphy's Law

Generally speaking, Murphy's Law says "anything that can go wrong, will go wrong." This usually is a proof that the universe is out to get me.

For example, if I get some coffee while waiting for someone, they will show up, right when I sat down with a nice hot cup, and i'd have have to leave the coffee and go.

Lately, I've been using this law to my advantage. For example, If I am tired of waiting for someone, I will go get a cup of coffee to make them arrive sooner. It doesn't always work, but at least I get the coffee.

I have a vague feeling that i've blogged about this before. But, I am too tired to look it up to see if I did. I am going somewhere with this, though, so bear with the duplication.

Does that include the Natural Logarithmic Base (e)?

Relationships Reviewed

Recently, somebody shared the observation that boys, once in a relationship will become more likable. They show more of those qualities one might be looking for in a relationship.

I noticed the same things about girls. Married girls seem more open and friendly as well. I can't comment about the boys.

The theory was shared with me, that, in a relationship, boys show these qualities more often. These qualities are developed and become more a part of their character.

My thought was that girls will often put up walls for protection. But, once married these walls come down. They are more free to show their qualities without misunderstanding. (Unfortunately, they sometimes underestimate the depths to which some boys can sink).

I admit, that my thoughts lacks some of the depth of the former. But, both could be true to some degree taking into account differences in individuals, faultiness of observation, and possibility of other reasons.

Web Cam Enabled

I have a web cam for the first time. Now, I have to remember not to pick my nose at the computer.

Pharmaceuticals

Pharmaceutical companies are big business. And they advertise their latest and greatest on the television. This is for prescription drugs. At the end of the commercial, they have a disclosure of side effects. This is usually at the end where all of a sudden the announcer will talk really softly and very quickly, "side effects may include vomiting, gout and decapitation." And it seems that these are all worthy of their own pills.

I am waiting for the ones where one pill will say "may cause diarrhea" and the remedy for diarrhea will say "may cause depression."

And the Good News is ....

Did I tell you that I got a free massage at the Ben Gurion Airport?
