Old Man Morgan

Today (for me) it is December 31, yep, another Monday. After a long (3 day) and very quiet weekend I am up at my usual 330 am (yes, I am a freak as Chris calls me). I will work today, then Decy and I will go out and celebrate the new year.
Last week [...]

Well all, I am back at least in body, if not spirit. The long weekend / mini-holiday with the family although good, was incredibly stressful – the fundamental issue was there was so much we (or at least I) wanted to do – and so little time. But, before I get into that, [...]

First, Today (19th December) is my mother’s birthday …. I won’t say how young she is … but I will say that I am 49 years old. I love my mother very much. If I wrote down all the wonderful things about her it would take me weeks or months of typing. [...]

Wow !!! Hard to believe it is true … but … this week I work all 5 days. Next week (17-21 Dec) I work 2.5 days, then (24-28 Dec) 3 days, then … the year is done …. what a year … what a year coming in 2008.
In the meantime, I have a [...]

To Much To Do !!
After working MORE THAN a full day yesterday … had the joy of taking a 1 hour conference call at 730-830pm last night. I am sooooo … behind in my work. Need to try to get some done now (415am) so that perhaps I have a bit more spare [...]
