Please - If It's Not Too Late

-
Honey. First off, let me tell you I never meant for this to happen.Losing your trust wasn't what I wanted. If I could go back and undo it, I would. I know that saying it was a mistake doesn't do any good. I've made mistakes before, but never this big. I thought telling you on the phone would make it easier. I thought that if I didn't have to see you when I told you, it might help. Now I feel that was just selfishness on my part. The truth is there's no easy way to tell you. I know there's no excuse, but I do want you to know why it happened. I think I owe that to you. The truth is, I was alone and vulnerable. The temptation was too much and I was weak. She was young, sweet and passionate. I wasn't able to say no. She took advantage of me.
It was like you told her how much I like it.

So, when you get home tonight the pizza will have pepperoni on it. I know you say you hate it. But after 30 years I also know you scarf those little meaty discs of goodness like they're your last meal. Sure, it gives you late night undercover gas ,so in a way I guess we both will suffer because of my poor decision. I already know that you're going to say that I brought that on myself, but I'll still expect your apology in the morning. Oh... and btw, I still love you.
This post was written as an assignment for a class I'm taking online from Chris Brogan.  The assignment was to write three paragraphs in a 'conversational' tone. The conversation was something that should be 'important' to the listener.  I wound up writing the above 'tongue in cheek' apology to my wife, for ordering a pizza with pepperoni, rather than italian sausage. Chris' notes on my home work asked me if I had ever heard Lyle Lovett's "Here I Am". I promised to give it a listen. Once I did, I felt it fit the feel of the 'tongue in cheek' of the homework!  What do you think? 

And if it's not too late...make it a cheeseburger

Give it a listen!

Video Not Available In Your Country Fix

So you just made friends with somebody cool like Paul Bond  . Even though he works for Brix , which is "only" the  4th largest workwear store in Monaghan , he's still got great taste in 'artsy fartsy' stuff. Unfortunately, he's not that bright   aware, when he sends out links sometimes.  Consequently, he sends out links to really cool stuff that YouTube says  'aren't available in your country'. Well, that's simply not true. It is available, and I have no idea why they even want to make you think it isn't. Connectivity is what all this stuff is about.  Or at least that's what I thought when I signed on almost 30 years ago. I'm pretty sure it's not the band that doesn't want you to hear their music, unless of course they are Lars Ulrich .  So what do you do? How to get around this? Read on...

Change The Format Of Blogger's Popular Post Widget

     If you're reading this, you're probably not a 'code warrior'.  You're probably like me.  You can't just sit down and pound out page after page of ampersands, brackets and ampersands. You're more of a tweaker.      That doesn't mean you can't usually get the results you want from a template.  It just means that sometimes you have to search for helpful websites to give you some guidance. Something sort of 'specific' in context, but 'general' in terms of offering the solution. That's what this is.  It's a way to change the way your 'Most Popular Post" module in Google's Blogger application appears on your page.  Currently the widget's choices of formatting are limited to the title, how popular in what number of days, whether you show an image and a snippet of information about the posts, number of posts, and how many of the posts you want to display.  That may not be enough selection for you.  You might w

Keyboard Failed (and so did you)

Everything around you says you aren't performing. It's all digital. It's all data driven. It's all the time.   Relentless reminders of how much you should be doing, seeing, or tasting. You're the only person that's never been to Disneyland, used a smart phone, and are overweight. Here's the reality . It's just data. It has very little to do with you as an individual. It's usually based on averages in a database some propeller head thought up.  Here's a newsflash . The data dobbers are just as goofy as the rest of us. Want proof?
