Travis Goes to a Business Lecture

Earlier this year I went to a business lecture, and I was a little bored, so I took notes.  I waited long enough so that the particulars of the event are no longer relevant, but my notes still seem to be applicable.  In fact, I’ve applied them to several other seminars since…

Closed Door Policy

Having a brother-in-law in the house for a month has been surprisingly painless.
Almost completely painless, in fact, but I can’t very well fill a blog post talking about the things he hasn’t done.

Am I Serious?

So, I posted a photo of myself on Flickr recently. Several good friends said I look really serious in the picture. But I don’t think I look that serious.  In fact I think I look a little happy. What do you think?

I Went to a Canadians Baseball Game

I went to a Canadians baseball game tonight. It wasn’t just a Canadian baseball game—the team is called the Canadians.  Like Vancouver’s hockey team is called the Canucks.  So original.

Dream: The Addict Who Scratched Me

I’m up early to head to Sunday breakfast, but I’m glad to be up, because I had a fairly awful dream.
Susie and I were in Los Angeles, working not at our house, but in an office somewhere....

Noise and Paving

So, it’s mostly over now, but can I tell you how irritated I was to wake up recently to the sound of CONSTRUCTION outside my bedroom window?

Sushi + Magic == Fabulous Fun

A large gaggle of people came over last night for what turned into a rather larger gathering than I’d initially planned.  We ate Eatery sushi from the ‘00s, played some magic from the ‘90s, listened to music from the ‘80s, and we’re all from the ‘70s.

The rest of the weekend stretches out ahead of me as formless and empty as summer vacation did when I was 12.

Overheard

“BBFF (Best Bacon Friends Forever)”

...who said it?

“I find myself thinking of a checklist Wozniak wrote a few years ago describing how to become a genius. His advice was straightforward yet strangely terrible: You must clarify your goals, gain knowledge through spaced repetition, preserve health, work steadily, minimize stress, refuse interruption, and never resist sleep when tired. This should lead to radically improved intelligence and creativity. The only cost: turning your back on every convention of social life.”

...who said it?

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.”

...who said it?

“Ever have something in your teeth that you cannot stop tonguing?”

...who said it?

“ . . . the war situation has developed not necessarily to Japan’s advantage.”

...who said it?
