2007-02-22 - Amuse me

...which is to say I do. Amuse me. I amuse me. Yeah.

Anyway, the photo which I am using for my profile I have had for a number of years ... almost thirteen as a matter of fact. It was taken in the summer of 1994 as I was being flown off an Alaskan wildfire in the back of a Long Ranger.

In all the time I have had the photo, only this morning did it occur to me that it's similar to the cover art for The Cramps "Bad Music for Bad People". Is it a stretch? Yes. But whatever. Last time I checked this was still my blog. And I'd be willing to bet that it would work at retrievr.

In other news, my wife and I hosted a condo association meeting last night, which ended up being my second evening meeting in as many days. Isn't it strange how meetings always seems to be not so much a team of people focused on resolving a single set of concerns, but rather a collection of individuals focused on expressing their singular sets of concerns. Both the condo meeting and the VFD association meeting the night before went well and the rambling was kept to a minimum, but there is always someone who apparently feels that a) they must contribute and b) this contribution will be graded on quantity as opposed to quality. This brings to mind another observation which is that s/he who talks most has actually done the least. And people tend to rise to their level of incompetence.

Have you invited other people to see your blog? Or are you just amusing yourself...which is cool if that's what you're doing. I mean, everybody does. Amuse themselves, that is. And now I'm amusing myself...but this isn't my blog. So...adieu.
