It has been a little while in coming and, given what this weekend is, I wasn’t surprised when I boiled over today and had to leave work early. The combination of stresses in my life just got to be too much so I left rather than say or do something that could come back to [...]

Exception Refund, Part II
Posted in random on Dec 20th, 2005
The saga of my US Airlines exception refund continues. Shortly after Michele’s death I contacted Expedia about getting a refund for plane tickets we were never going to use. After some initial difficulty getting the paperwork into the pipeline, Expedia at least is working on it for me. Since it had been a month since [...]
I don’t even know where to start about Christmas this year. I’m tempted to just say, “bah, humbug.” However, that feels too much like giving up and I’m not ready to go there.

Today, quite out of the blue, I received an offer to purchase my domain name. I’ve had zanshin.net registered since February 1996; i.e., this site will be ten years old in just a few weeks.
I really don’t know what to think about the offer as I’ve never considered not having zanshin as my domain. My [...]

Posted in life on Dec 12th, 2005
The hardest part about going through this grief process isn’t that other people can’t experience what I am experiencing. They couldn’t experience what I was going through when everything was great either. No, the hardest part is the loss of the one place where I was assured of a response that worked for me. No [...]
