Things that I have been thinking about lately:

– Whose idea was it to have a holiday on Tuesday? (For all of you international readers – yes, that lonely guy in the back corner – tomorrow [Tuesday] is Veteran’s Day in the US.) I’m all in favor of veterans – my Dad was one (WWII Marine, service in the South Pacific). I am in awe of their service to our country. And I do get tomorrow off.

– Why are all the domain names that I think of already taken? I keep having these ideas of a web site that will make lots of money with minimal effort, but somebody has already done it first. Yeah, I guess that means that I am not very creative. Or timely (see next item).

– Why didn’t I go ahead with that money-making idea 15 years ago? I wanted to take the kid’s bikes on a trip, but there wasn’t really a good way to carry them along. The only bike carriers were those half-hoop things that strap to your bumper. I was looking for a bike carrier that you could mount on a trailer hitch. Not available then. Now they are everywhere.

– How can you make easy money during a recession? Oh, that’s right. Be a failure in your company, then get them to fire you with a big ‘exit paycheck’.

I’ve got to get a refill on my medication…..
