I was driving down the expressway the other day and I saw a sign that said that I had 25 miles to go until I reached my destination. So I got to thinking (I do that from time to ... http://www.theglasspen.com/?p=64 What is it about hanging up from a phone call with someone that tastes so good? It seems like anytime people hang up they always say the same thing, "mmmm, bye." Do you suppose that maybe this is where the saying "parting is such sweet sorrow" comes from? Do you ... http://www.theglasspen.com/?p=63 I have been contemplating a career shift lately, and have been taking a good hard look at crazy. Not like the dangerous kind, just the docile, catatonic kind. I mean, think about how easy life would be if your entire to do list consisted of, take medication and drool on ... http://www.theglasspen.com/?p=62 I stopped off to pick up some groceries for my wife the other day. Have you ever been in the produce section of your grocery store and you reach for a head of lettuce and it starts raining on you? What in the world is that?! Ambiance? What's next?

It's not that I am unhappy with my nose, I actually quite like it. But I would love for the opportunity to be able to send out an inner office email explaining that I am going to be out for the ... http://www.theglasspen.com/?p=58 I often watch Canadian geese as they round up the troops to make the big trek for the travel season, and it often occurs to me; why is one side of the V formation always shorter than the other side? Is there some sort of aerodynamic benefit to be found ... http://www.theglasspen.com/?p=55 So, we've been thinking about getting a new t.v. lately, something nice for the bedroom. I'm thinking that we should go ahead and upgrade to an HD now before the big switch in 2009. I think one contributing factor to our lack of having bought the new t.v. by now, ... http://www.theglasspen.com/?p=53 The body is an amazing machine of self diagnosis. We turn red when we are embarrassed, brown when we've been in the sun too long, pale when we are ill, and chartreuse when we are about to be sick.
