Curse the Internet!

Curses! The Internet is causing people to lose their jobs! Perhaps some occupations will become obsolete much like typewriters, encyclopedias, VCRs to an extent, and so on.

It's funny too, one of the companies I work for recently started using new software to help make our lives easier. The thing is, people will still be needed to interpret the data gathered by the software, so the staff will be safe... :-) Being the team leader, I had to personally reassure one of the staff not to worry. Haha!

Go Cubs go!

Rick and Trout mocked me for not understanding the difference between "like" and "cheer for" in terms of picking teams to win.

Cliff picked the Dodgers to oust the Cubs in four, and that prediction is looking pretty good right now, with L.A. up 2-0.

But I really don't want to see the Dodgers win, especially since they were a mediocre team during the season and because of the Joe Torre/Manny Ramirez/Nomar Garciaparra factor. They're all annoying. Hope to see the Cubs pull it out... Go Lou Piniella and the Cubbies!

I mean, you just don't forget how to win suddenly, right? The Cubs were the best in the NL the entire regular season, after all... (ahem, the 2008 L.A. Angels, the Ottawa Senators of recent years... cough cough...)

KP Wee Author Reading - Vancouver

If there is enough interest, perhaps I will schedule a KP Wee author reading.

I believe CK and GG probably will be interested, but we'll see if anyone else is.

Should anybody who views this site would like to partake in this reading and is in the Vancouver area, feel free to shoot me an email at:

kpwee1@yahoo.com or crc.pan@gmail.com

Don't you want to know about "Chasing Rainbow Trout"?

Cheers!

Shame on the AL Central

Some of my random thoughts on the White Sox-Twins rivalry... Interesting quote from Jim Thome--which I bashed.

Enjoy!

"Mission at the J."

After putting it off for a couple weeks and re-writing and editing my manuscript, I've finally decided to submit my title "Mission at the J(essop)." It's a story not unlike "Fess Up, Jessup."

My goal for this is to have both stories put together in one book, since the two of them have strikingly similar titles (because I'd done that on purpose).

Time to keep my fingers crossed!
