Some good news from the new president of EMU. One is that he appreciates the power of metaphor, and apparently is rather decisive.

Also, Citino’s gonna be on the radio:

“Robert Citino, an award-winning history professor, appeared on the
History Channel July 31 to discuss Japan during the last eight months of
World War II. One of the nation’s recognized authorities on military
operations in both world wars, his seventh book, “The German Way of
War,” will be out this fall. You can also hear him discuss the atom bomb
on WAAM Radio (1600 AM), Sunday, Aug. 7, 7-8 p.m.”

So I went to a travel agent. Started talking. Good guy named Kevin that Larry pointed me to at STA travel.

Found a few things I want to see if I’m going to Puerto Rico, and would be really disappointed if I went there and didn’t check them out. I’m feeling that if we go without more fully thought out plan, we’re going to miss some very cool things — though it would be worth it just to get a chance to relax in paradise. What bothers me is this uncomfortable feeling that I’m going to spend a bunch of $$ and miss something important if I don’t do some research.

We could still do it, but T is willing to alter plans and go to San Francisco instead — which will be fun, a chance to play with some ol’ friends… but I wonder how much actual relaxing I’ll be able to do.

Cause that’s what I really need right now, some space to sit and think about nothing and everything. I wonder that I’ll find that space in SF.

It’s not that my life is too complicated right now, it’s just there’s no time to sit and trip (no not that kind of trip) about where I’m at and who I am and why I’m here. I used to take a yearly vacation…it’s been about five or six years since that’s really happend. Going to Anaheim or Orlando for work doesn’t count. Those days are more stressful than the average day…

I just want some MF’ing fun. Is that too much to ask?

/sigh

K, here’s some options, as I see’em:

Guess what, it’s not that warm in PR — note the current conditions for San Juan. The RECORD for SJ is 94F. The range is 77-87. That I like.

InterContinental San Juan Spa Resort and Casino – 7 days, ocean view, including airfare: $1,847 (that’s for 2 people). Here’s a link: to a page describing the hotel.

That, I like. Close to San Juan, on the beach. Sounds like a vacation.

There’s also the Westin Rio Mar Beach resort. More expensive (room with an ocean view and a king size bead is $2870. That includes airfare.

Simple fact. We need to make a decision. By 8pm tonight.

Wow I have a lot of different passwords, and a lot of different accounts.

I’ve written on this topic in other places before, but today I can’t seem to remember one…

There has to be a better way to do this — passphrases would be a start. Why limit yourself to a string of letters and numbers 6 to 8 characters long? In the day of 32 and 64bit computing, it seems rather ancient to be using such a small bit of information to secure your identity, your bank account, and your life savings.
