It's All About Me
by Scott Hardie on December 27, 2006
I regret if my rantings around this site have come across either whiny, as I coped with illnesses and a busy schedule, or hypocritical, as I griped about Christmas cheer while still participating in the holiday. I don't regret if they came across as self-centered.
Three Replies to It's All About Me

Hear, hear!
(Though, I did reply in another post with a question on why some of these things aren't started as discussions in TC... particularly, the news items. It makes perfect sense to me for a blog to be about yourself and your personal life -- perhaps eradicating the TC category of "Life"? -- but other events seem to ask to be on the forum. Oh, well... what the hell do I know about it.)

Good point, Amy. I struggled over whether to include the Hussein hanging item just now in TC, since people will probably want to discuss the subject there. But the thing I want to say about it is the only thing I want to say about it, and it's such a personal statement that it doesn't seem to be part of a group statement.

I can't write about why I spent the week in Atlanta because it's too confidential and work-related, but I can say that I had a good time around the margins of that event.

Last night, Kelly and I joined some friends from work at Tropicana Field to watch the Rays lose to the Blue Jays, something we do from time to time. In the second inning, I caught a foul ball that came wildly bouncing around our section. Everybody in our group got a kick out of it, and I savored the feeling.

How come I can't get through the grocery checkout lane without the clerk or the bagger commenting about how many cans of cat food I buy, which inevitably leads to questions about how many cats I own, how much I feed them, and why I need so many cans? Has nobody in this state heard of stocking up? For their information, I have one cat who eats two 3-oz cans of food a day, which is more than a typical cat but not unheard-of.

I don't often join in Kelly's craft projects, and it's even rarer for her to join in one of mine. But that's what happened last week when my company held a gingerbread house contest, and Kelly pitched in to help the team that I signed up for. We decided to make a "north pole branch" of our Sarasota office. Go »
