Meandering thoughts

I’m considering redoing my home office which currently resides in a perpetual state of mess. It seems to actively resist my attempts to simplify and organize it.

I’m a silent and amazed subscriber to “unclutterer,” a blog about getting and staying organized. The amazement comes from seeing how some are able to have such wonderfully simple, neat workspaces and the silence comes from a personal shame at how unsuccessful I’ve been in doing this for myself.

I’d be a perfect candidate if the folks at “unclutterer” wanted to do a renovation/organization home workspace project similar to shows done by HGTV and TLC. My home office would certainly provide them a chance to practice the principles they preach. Contact me! :-)

We did some upgrading to computers here this week. With Apple’s recent new model announcements and a small reduction in prices it seemed a fitting time–doing our part for economical recovery! Bonnie’s the proud owner of a MacBook Air and I upgraded to a MacBook Pro. I’ve gotten the MacBook Air completely configured and it’s been getting a real workout the last couple of evenings. It’s one sexy and functional laptop. Bonnie will use it both at home and on business trips. I’m still setting up my MacBook Pro. The MacBook I upgraded from has been passed on to my son where he’s making use of it in his return to school.

Did any of you hear that Michael Jackson died? If you haven’t, what rock are you hiding under and may I join you? How long will it be until Neverland Ranch is the new Graceland? If there’s money to be made it’ll happen!

For me personally the saddest thing about the whole Michael Jackson story is the terrible waste of musical talent. While he had some outstanding musical contributions during his early and mid years, the later years were a freak show, more sad and pitiful then anything else. Personally, I feel greater sympathy for Farrah Fawcett and Ed McMahon who also passed away recently.
