Converting to Dog-Time

Lightning at the Dog Park

Because I’m pressed for time, I take the dog for a short walk this evening, just long enough to take care of the essentials.

My wife is concerned that five minutes isn’t enough exercise for the little guy, but isn’t a five-minute walk equivalent to a 35-minute walk for dogs?

Going Back in Time

19 Jul 2009 / PE

Here’s something I didn’t know: If you fly straight from Sydney to Los Angeles, you arrive before you left!

I’m looking at an itinerary here . . . leaving Sydney at 10 a.m., arriving at LAX at 6 a.m. — on the same day! It’s like going back in time!


20 Years Went By Like the Wind

25 May 2009 / PE

I found a former colleague on LinkedIn this weekend — he was my boss at my very first IT job as an entry-level programmer.

He mentioned that his daughter had graduated from college and is now an ER nurse. That doesn’t sound right because I remember when his daughter was born and it seems like just last week, but I’m doing the math in my head and sure enough it was more than 20 years ago . . .

On love, on grief, on every human thing,
Time sprinkles Lethe’s water with his wing.
