So I'm trying a little "experiment"...

which is not really an experiment per se. I've been trying to drive slower in to work so that I save fuel. I have to say that after 20 years of driving on the fast side it's really hard to slow down. It's like the muscle memory in my right leg makes it difficult to keep the pedal at a position that keeps my speed at 105-110km/h. I think I'm saving fuel but I haven't really approached it in a manner that allows me to quantify the savings so I think I may start tracking this a little closer so I know what the impact is.

I know I haven't posted much in a long time, mostly just giving links to things I come across that I find interesting so it doesn't surprise me that I don't have the same number of visitors that I once had. In fact, I believe I may be talking to myself at this point. :)

So by way of letting some of my thoughts out for a change... I'm sure Jim is not too happy with me... we haven't talked in a long time. Some weird things happened there and things feel different. It's weird, I never thought there would be anything that would change our relationship in a negative way but it may have turned out that way. I'm sad about that. I mean, I always felt that we were like long lost brothers but it seems to have lost some of it's luster. I have a tendency to withdraw at times when my life becomes hectic and that doesn't go over well with some people. I like to cut it down to the basics... work and family while I get things sorted out and figure out how I'm going to fit everything in. There are two people in my life that it works with and the rest seem to struggle with that habit. I guess that means I should change, eh? (especially if I

I also have a bad habit of thinking I can fit more into a day than is humanly possible. :} Marie has often said that to me and I think that's what sometimes gets me into the situations I find myself in. I commit to too much and then feel the need to pare it down to basics to recover. This is never a personal knock against anyone, it's just me "recycling" my system. It's something I have to work on I guess.

I'm not sure where I was going with this... it was a bit of a GeWilli mind dump kinda thing (although he has focus more often than not lately compared to his early posting days) but I feel better for having done it. Not completely satisfied but a little better.

Perhaps I need to do this a few more times to get things out but for now, I should get some work done before I have a job hunt to worry about. (kidding)

Have a good day.
