Living with Devotion
A web of deceitful offense
May20,2008
Since I am
now a card carrying member of the “over
the hill club”, and will continue to be
until my membership forcibly expires, I
will start with an old time adage - “Be
careful of the company you keep.”

Where have all the hippies gone.
May13,2008
The other
day, while filling up at the gas station,
I had to ask myself “where have all the
hippies gone.” You know that “were not
going to take it generation,” the ones
who left home, left school, and every
other material security to stand in front
of national guard troops placing flowers
in the barrels of guns to stop a

many slogans were prevalent and common in
the vernacular of everyday life to
fortify work ethics and values, two of
which were “if its worth doing, its worth
doing right.” and “God is in the
details.”

Many years
ago, before personal computers were the
norm or even available, I worked
implementing computerized accounting
systems by replacing an office full of
typists, accountants and secretaries with
computers that spit out fancy invoices
and kept tract of everything with the
push of a button. As you can imagine good
software was had to find in those days,
and a majority of my time was spent
looking for good accounting software that
worked without (major) bugs. Eventually I
found one very wonderful software product
that did it all, and did it with style
and elegance. Interestingly enough the
developers had a strange sense of humor,
every time you quit their program a
simple message was displayed on the
