Woe is me…

03.14.2006

I hab a code in my node.  Ad my sinuses, especially the left one, are killing me.  But I can’t take Advil because it can give you heartburn and I’m already suffering mightily in that arena because Blue Cross put a whammy on my Prevacid.  Still, I’m trying to be cheerful, because last week our [...]

Dana Reeve

Like everyone else, I am shocked that she went so quickly.  But an article in today’s Sac Bee said she had known for the past six weeks or so that the end was in sight.  What must that be like, to know the time of your end of life on earth is so near?  I can’t [...]

03.03.2006

I’m having a pity party; wanna come? I recently let my LiveJournal Paid account lapse and the only thing I lost that I regret is the ability to create a long, definitive blogroll. LJ has reduced my total connections to ten, so I’ve had to cull a lot. This has raised for me the issue [...]

Am I Too Old To Blog?, in which I mount my hobbyhorse for a long ride…

02.28.2006

Today’s turn through my blog roll turned up this little gem from NYU’s Digital Journalism class group blog. A whippersnapper named Zack Baragan wrote a heartfelt piece entitled “Sometimes You *Can* Be Cool Past Your 30s,” in which he managed to unearth many of the ageist cliches that my generation came up with in the [...]
