For some reason I feel pissed and dissed.or I am pissed because I feel dissed. Maybe this is just me stressed becoming overly sensitive. What I do know is I can get to the root of this with a few days meditation, reflection, and deep thought.

Housekeeping

After almost 10 years of blogging I am on my own server and not in a shared server hosted by a college orgmate.
Can’t seem to make jetpack work.

The moves to Bournville, Haxby Road and Somerdale weren’t mere efficiency and tech upgrades.
