She's Got A Great Personality But...

I remember being single about 30 years ago and living in Kansas City . The Internet wasn't invented at that time, so you couldn't Tweet, Text, or even Login to Facebook. The closest thing to a social network was Nickel Draft Beer night in Westport.  On Wednesdays they let the girls go in for free drinks starting at 4PM.  Two hours later, they let the guys in and sold us 'Nickel Drafts'. I'd spend the two quarters burning a hole in my pocket within the first 30 minutes. Obviously it was a popular hangout. I would say it was a lot like  "Cheers' except, nobody could remember anybody's name.

How Do I Read Thee, Let Me Count The Ways

Like everyone, I am presented with an opportunity to read stuff. Everyday I get links to the latest, greatest, mind expanding articles. Each one is a revelation, an epiphany, and of course 'awesome'.

Hypefully Speaking

According to the linkster, nobody in the universe has ever quite explained it this way. Apparently, I should feel fortunate just to be allowed to read it. Sometimes I get lucky.  But most of the time it's a picture of a cat. Not just any cat though. This one has a funny quote on the picture. Awesome.

Today I Got Lucky

The members of The Circadians are not only voracious readers, but they have a high bar for article sharing. All of their shares are interesting, but sometimes they share something that should be required reading. This was one of those shares.

Don't Waste Your Time Catching Up!

Take a look at the stream to the left. Imaging trying to fish upstream in that current. You'd have to be a strong swimmer, and it would take some time to go very far.  Now imagine fishing downstream in the same current. Even if you catch something it's going to be a struggle getting back to your campsite. Neither scenario sounds like much fun.

Now Imagine Staying Put

And try to catch what's passing in front of you.  The fish have been going upstream and downstream all day. That's what fish do.  You didn't have to move.
