Scribbled some ideas
Waiting for the phone to ring
Very productive day. I did laundry, folded my socks and sorted my clothes, backed up my home server, read a couple pages of notes from my orientation while waiting for Boeing computers to catchup on paperwork and someone call me. My job is so secret they won’t even tell me what I do.

It will get better.
Consultants have to have patience, Senior consultants have to have infinite patience.
I have been asked
I have been asked by people to open up a little and share how I overcome my health problems and actually create what I do. Look for a posting soon where I’ll let you in on the secrets to having a productive pastime while being less productive than younger people. It’s a knack. A planning habit I learned while working inside nuclear reactors while they were running. Think one step ahead, keep the tools at hand, and then think two steps ahead. One mishap inside the reactors was bad. I have not been able to have children since I was 20, an accident in a nuclear facility and not my fault. Life teaches hard lessons.
In case you are wondering
Just in case you are wondering what all this computer modding is doing on a blog about dealing with a nasty disease, I’ll tell you.
I refuse to let this disease rule me. I did the whine and moan and feel sorry crap. Non-productive all around. I found an outlet that appealed to my natural tinkering bent and allows me to make friends, be productive, help others, and help myself feel good about ME! I love modding and modders, especially the younger ones just beginning. To share whatever I have gleaned in 6 decades of life and make it easier or better for someone else = WIN! I haven’t done everything but it’s on the list.
Work on this site
I’ll be experimenting with themes, adding pages and links and images and just making this site more representative of the current me and my lifestyle. I really need to address the computer modding forums and the people there who have helped me out immensely psychologically. I have been a very quiet person and carried my own counsel for many years. I need to add pages here for some of my computer modding experiences. I have met many warm, friendly and helpful people and I need to recognize them. Most are quite a bit younger in years than I am but that’s what makes it more fun.
As they are, I once was. As I am, they might become.
It’s been a while
I’m back and will update WAY more often. New Year’s Resolution. Promise. New PC and good to go. And I am still inflicted with the dream in “Do Dreams Matter”.
