Original Law and Order

I like the original Law and Order. I have a friend that loves Homicide. But any way, one of the reasons that I like holidays is because of the marathon Law and Order runs. Inevitably, I spend quite a few hours watching several episodes. All the new wannabe shows that have come out since the success of L&O are just that: Wannabes. They all seem to lack the oomph of L&O. They always seem to have interesting story lines. And I am a sucker for the twists. Everytime I wonder what kind of twists could the story have and then...BAM! it goes another way. But at least it is not like CSI. Sometimes they spend a whole hour on a case only to find out that the death was an accident. I don't want to hear that! I did not watch for a whole hour to find out that no one is ultimately responsible. Some might say, "But that is what happens in real life." That is when I say, "I don't watch drama shows for real real life." By that I mean, I want it to real enough to be believable but I want their hard work to produce results.When I want reality police work, I watch "The first 48 hours". That is a cool show but I will reserve my rantings about that for another post (I have not seen any marathons for that yet...but I hope its on the air long enough achieve that status).

Yoders in Abbeville

Can I get shout outs from all the Yoder's fans? I love their fried chicken, broccoli casserole, cream corn, pecan pie, strawberry pie, and their extra yummy coconut cream pie.

Friday is the LONGEST day

I am so ready to go home right now. And I know that I have to go to work. Although I won't disclose what I do. I watch the news and see people losing GOOD jobs because they don't have the sense to keep private info from work off of the Internet. But I digress. So I want to go home. I have had a long hard week at work and I am ready for my 3-day weekend. Does anybody else get President's day off? Woo-hoo. I did not even know that was a real holiday. I thought it was something the furniture stores used to have a reason "slash prices". I say "slash prices" because all that cheapo furniture is overpriced anyway. I think I am so tired I can't even stay focused on my post. So you know that this will be a very long-g-g-g day.

This is my travelling buddy and me in London...and it makes no difference that she is over 80 (I think she get energy from the plane trip) 

IT departments

I think I want to take this time to say "Thank You" to all the computer programmers and other IT people who help me at work. I know there is "Secretaries' Day", but is there a "Nice IT People" day? There should be. When I say "Nice IT people" I am talking about those down-to-earth-cool-"You got a problem, let me run some numbers and see what I can do" type of IT people.
If I was giving out IT awards:
#1 IT guy - DT
Top programmers - Roy, Dan, John

This is Cyro in his fave pose 

Too cool for words if you ask me 

Teaching Time

I am a professor at the local technical college. I never considered myself to be a tech-ie type of person. But I am quickly realizing that a lot of people have no clue how to use a computer...I have found some purpose- teaching the benefits of Internet. They took notes when I said that Google is the best search engine. They are taking notes from what I am saying. Imagine that! I was wiggin. I think when the class is over that they will probably not be at the point of online banking. BUT they will be able to send e-mail. And I think that is enough for one semester.

Getting Started

Ok ok OK
I am going to finally let all of you know about my OH so interesting life. Well basically, I go to work, go home, and on occasion, have fun....Let's see how this blog thing goes. :) Can you tell that I am optimistic? One guy at work said that I was "perky". So lets see if this translate via the Web.
