I’m not sure who invented dill pickles but I’d like to shake that guy’s hand.

Email signatures
This has bugged me for quite some time now. Whenever I send a professional email, I do the standard thing at the end where I put my name, company name, phone number, etc.  It’s the bit just before that which has me longing for more.  Here are signoffs I sometimes use: Thanks, Sincerely, Best Regards, Respectfully, All boring. I’m thinking of trying something new.  Here are some...

I have been eaten by a bear
If this post isn’t replaced by a new one in about a week, then I have indeed been eaten by a bear. I’m setting of tomorrow morning for a long solo backpacking journey in the remote wild forest of the Adirondack mountains.  I’m carrying everything I need with me and sleeping in a hammock at night.  Just me and my thoughts - it’s gonna be wonderful.  Unless I get eaten by a...

Dear Establishment,
I think I need three day weekends every weekend. It’s perfect really: Day 1: Chores and other housework. Day 2: Active recreation. Get out there and have fun. Day 3: Rest, relax, sleep late, do nothing. Every damn weekend. Sincerely, Glen

Tumblr oddities

Wake and Bake
I got up in an energetic mood this morning and have decided to make fresh bread to start the day.  I’m calling it “wake and bake” - I sure hope that name’s not taken. Side note: the batteries in my remote died, but I believe if I wait until Sunday they will magically start working again. I love not working on weekdays.

Frugality
Here’s an awesome idea I discovered: Go to Home Depot and get a few free samples of Pergo flooring - the high end stuff with the high density foam attached to the back.  Bam! Instant set of drink coasters!

Show me your junk?
not-quite-true: In 1989, the American Salvage Council filed suit in a Los Angeles courtroom in an effort to prevent pornography actors from referring to their genitals as their “junk”.  The council’s assertion was that this practice is demeaning to salvage specialists, also known as “junk collectors” and causes confusion in the market. I feel like Cliff Clavin knowing this fact.

I'm mortar-fied!
not-quite-true: Warriors on the Greek island of Crete used their dead soldiers to help solidify the defensive walls around their cities. This is where the term “concrete” comes from - literally meaning “with Cretes”. Makes sense!

Following...
I often wonder when I start following people on Tumblr if the message they get says Hooray, Whee, Score, Whatever, Love, Bummer, etc… I hope Tumblr makes me sound exciting.
