My personal journey.

Well, that's the end of my multi-year run on Twitter.

Can't find the link here, but the original was via Twitter and I'm not linking there.

Needing to check some data for my insurance, but my insurance web site won't let me in unless I type in the six digit code they're emailing me.

Except their system is not sending any email. Technology sucks, but implementation of technology sucks even harder.

Several years ago, my wife was in an accident and had to sleep downstairs, so our daughter wanted to sleep in "mama's place." I covered my daughter with stuffed animals as a joke.

Later, as I went upstairs, I found my daughter left a gift for me on my side of the bed. ❤️

Having a lovely time in #Macedonia. Sad to leave so soon. Fascinating country.

For once, the "scare quotes" are appropriate.

Venus is an amazing world and there are mysterious "dark absorbers" in the clouds that, as one scientist remarked, are difficult to explain without life (but probably aren't life).

When my daughter was nine, she begged me to start teaching her pre-algebra because math was too easy in school. I started by teaching her simple things like "solving for x" in "3x+2 = 17".

She "paid" me for her lesson by teaching me how to draw a panda.
