Getting Sentimental
Friday, November 7, 2008
Totally unrelated to missing my family, who’s in Colorado visiting our family out there…
I was pouring my coffee into my mug this morning and I thought about how much I miss my job from high school and college. I was 16, and I worked at a small company in Lake Hopatcong called Digitize, Inc doing…pretty much everything. If it was technology oriented, I handled it. I ran ethernet cable, repaired computers, salvaged parts, did data entry, created their very first website (warning: early web design stuff by a 17 year old. your eyes may burn) There were barely 20 people working there, building alarm systems and selling them to places like Harvard.
I had my own office and everything. And I just realized that was 14 years ago, now. I digress.
The thing that reminded me was the coffee. First one in in the morning put water in the 2 spacemaker coffee machines, put in Maxwell House or Chock Full O’Nuts from the big BJ’s Club sized can and fired them up. Coffee. All the time.
The office I had for the longest time was right next to the kitchenette.
I really miss that place.
Vote Or Something
Tuesday, November 4, 2008
I’d say vote or die but that’s too trite. Do the country a favor and vote. I’d prefer Libertarian but at least get out there and get involved, no matter your party.
Thanks.
RIP Maggie 1998-2008

Today we put Maggie to sleep. It was sudden. She hadn’t been acting herself for a little while, and she seemed disinterested in food. She was walking around the house slowly and meowing loudly. We called the vet this morning and got an appointment at 1.
Turned out that her bad breath was a sign of kidney problems, so they took blood. And we waited for the results. And her kidneys had completely failed.
She passed peacefully with her mommy petting her at around 3:30PM. She’s climbing trees in kitty heaven now. And swatting at strangers trying to pet her.
You’re already missed, kitten.
