    I write this blog. It does not represent anyone else's opinions or perspectives. Regardless of employers or clients or any other associations, this is my blog and it does not speak for anyone else. I have learned that perception is more powerful than reality. So, we get to experience the joys of claiming and disclaiming. Isn't that super!

write a book
lose 30 pounds
go to hawaii
simplify material possessions
move to midwest

Those are not prioritized.  The list is limited to 5.  More would overwhelm me.  Fewer would not challenge me.  I can do it.  I will do it.  I will do it by August 31, 2008.  ~T. W. Getsch ~Saturday, May 24th, 2008

mini funk

So, I’m in Minnesota.  I surprised my mom for Mother’s Day.  I had my knee surgery.  Physical Therapy is going great.  I’ve spent good time with most friends and family that are around.  But, I’m in this mini funk.  Why?
I think it’s because I’ve been so geared up to GO, GO, GO for so long. [...]

For anyone interested or following, I had my 5th, left knee arthroscopy today.  It’s been about 7 or so years since the last one.  There was/is a lot of arthritis this time.  It should be a good recovery.  It’s been the best exit from surgery I’ve experienced so far.  Medicine is working fine, and I’m [...]

Today is World Storytelling Day!
Today is the birthday of Frederick W. Taylor – an [...]

I have been following a lot of information for several years now.  I do that with blogs, with RSS feeds, with alerts, with email newsletters, with a few hard copy magazine subscriptions, with some journals, and also a lot with listening in whatever way possible.
I’ve come to some conclusions.
I can change the world.
Everyone has the [...]
