Telling My Stories and Discovering Your Stories

Now! This is what I call Tracking!

A moment by moment update on it's location.



Now ... Poughkeepsie is about 28 miles +/- from me. I'm up. I'm dressed. I'm even going to open my front door today. (OK. You've got me. The door's really gonna be open because the weather is being soooo wonderfully warm. And yes I'm almost always up and dressed by now. Still ... it all fits in nicely with being ultra prepared in case the UPS delivery route makes a sudden deviation straight to my house.)

So, you know, why couldn't UPS at least told me when the package crossed state lines? They don't have to actually rescan each box in a "truck" (aka plane). They could just do a batch update.

I still maintain that UPS can't do that because then they'd have to admit that it's not really the transportation that delays delivery ... it's really about prioritizing. Don't they think we're mature enough to chose a priority vs a methodology?

FedEx Overnight is totally based on priority. Works out pretty well in my mind.

Ok well ... I'm usually on the near tail-end of the deliveries with UPS ... so today I shall be entertaining myself with blogging and cleaning house.

I still have a few things left over from last week that I want to talk about.

Late Monday afternoon I went down to the cafe to just enjoy some time with my thoughts away from a keyboard. I got a few bloggable ideas.

Yesterday I bumped into two things. One, is the very epitome of why I hang out with moms and dads. The other is one reason why I don't miss the tech world. And it explains why I am so strict with my blog.

I'm going to do all the light-weight stuff first because I'm afraid that the last item is going to take up most of a day to compose something mostly coherent.
I enjoy your comments. And I want you to enjoy reading each other's comments. To that end purpose, I moderate comments. If you're impatient, MeeboMe.

Commenting Ideas
  • If you do not have a blog or site, skip the "web site" line, pull a name or "handle" out of your head, write a note, push the button. (No excuses!)
  • If this entry reminds you of a story of a similar place in time in your life, you are welcome to tell your story.
  • If you discover your story is taking more than 3 or 4 paragraphs (and if you have a place on the web for your writings), I will not be insulted if you take your story back and finish it at your own site. But then I will be disappointed if you don't come back and leave me a summary of your story and a link -- in the comments.
  • If you have already written a story about a similar place in time, please feel free to leave a summary and a link.
  • It's never too late to make a comment or tell a story.

    Why does this Site Exist?
    10/26/06
    My website is largely my memoir ... my musings, photos, encounters, life's stories.

    But what really thrills me is that when I let go of my stories, it's like sending out little sail boats out on expeditions. Very often they come back to me filled with other people's stories. Continue...
