Even though the PingWi-Fi caravan has landed in Pennsylvania, I am still California dreaming. There was so little time and so much to say from the recent trip to Socal. But … just a few last thoughts. Thoughts of yesterday … great thoughts.

The PingWi-Fi entourage just touched down in Ontario, Calif., but before we start another West Coast Wi-Fi tour, there is some unfinished business … family business … “old home week” from a recent pilgrimage to the Texas Panhandle.

There is this meeting that I go to every Sunday, now going on 24 years. It’s a good group and has grown exponentially … even has a great monthly magazine now.

This blog has detailed some pretty uncomfortable situations and nasty assignments in the ongoing stories about “The Dirty Gig” — my side job in the disaster recovery industry. Today was different.

I don’t understand it. How did I become … this? The early years were decent. I worked hard, “I helped little old ladies cross the street” … but somehow, now, I really need to join a support group. I have become a moron magnet.

My approach to viewing films at festivals is pretty nonchalant. Why stress out over seeing the best film, at the first showing, fighting the crowds and seeing everything under pressure. Instead, just get a pass, go to the theater and take a seat when I am good and ready and watch whatever is showing. If […]
