Things People Want To Know
Once in a while, I will get someone leaving a question in the comments field. Whether or not these questions are rhetorical or not, I don’t know. However, I’ve received enough of these to consider them valid.
I also get some of these questions via e-mail. I figure that if people take the time to e-mail me, I should answer them, whether they care or not.
I’ve grouped some of them together as I believe they are related…
1. How do you remember those conversations you have? Are they for real?
Most of the conversations I post are from chats I’ve had with Dave. Some of them are from years ago. I remember them because I have a pretty good memory. Are they accurate? For the most part. Whenever I am not sure about a part, or I can’t remember a particular line, I’ll consult with Dave.
Dave, though, isn’t the only one I have conversations with. The other conversations that I have logged on here stand out in my memory for some reason or another. It is because they stand out that they are easy to remember. Funny things are also more easily remembered than boring things.
Unless I have stated otherwise, the conversations actually happened.
2. Do you write all the haiku poems yourself?
Yes. I do. Are all of them good? No. They are not. It is when I get a small number of requests at a time that I can properly address each one. To be honest, I would say for every twenty haiku, I have one that I feel is good. Given that I am at almost nine hundred right now, I think this is pretty respectable.
3. How do you find the time to do this blog?
Well, every night, I leave my computer on. At around 2 AM the keyboard starts clicking as my two cats write my entry for the day. I proof it, and then send it out as my own.
Seriously, I usually write down ideas and store them in a folder. When I am ready for the idea to hit the paper, it usually takes about a half hour to write an entry. Entries, on average, are between eight hundred and a thousand words. I’ll write them at night, or on my lunch break and then post them.
4. Is that picture of the Moon for real?
Yes it is. It’s also on sale. You should buy one, as it is a run of one hundred prints. For the month of November, half the money will go to help kids get better computers for their schools and such.
That’s good for now.
Please feel free to e-mail me if you have any more questions. You can also use the comments field.
I’m still looking for a tenth entry for my top ten.

This is probably an oft-repeated rant, but I really have to profess that I am sick of the media giving cutesy names to people.
Bennifer, TomKat and Brit are some of the idiotic nicknames given to celebrities.
Shortening people’s names is not always cool.
It makes you wonder what would happen with folks named Peter Nestor, or Vargas Regina.
I find that the whole move towards shortening everything is just causing people to become lazy. So not only do we get these hip ways to refer to people, I’m seeing teens writing complete crap and then wondering why they don’t do well in school.
