I thought of a good idea for a blog post. I intended to jot down a reminder to myself when I got to work but I forgot. This evening when I sat down to write my blog, I couldn&#8217;t remember my idea. That is the very epitome of frustration.<\/p>\n<p>I thought perhaps if I wrote about the event, it would jog my memory. So far, that hasn&#8217;t worked. I think that by the time I do any necessary errands after work, pick up dinner, and come home, I&#8217;ve run out of stamina to do anything else. My mind is a total blank.<\/p>\n<p>I spent a little bit of time reading Wikipedia. I have occasionally found that I am inspired to write something by reading arbitrary articles that I find interesting there. That works better when I&#8217;m not at the end of a hard day. I&#8217;d actually prefer to write my blog post first thing in the morning. The problem is, I don&#8217;t have time to do that before I go to work.<\/p>\n<p>I have started giving some serious thought to looking for another job and retiring from my current job. I have considered trying to write for a living. I&#8217;m not confident in my ability to do that yet. Jumping in the deep end on faith is a young man&#8217;s game. I may not consider myself that old but I&#8217;m definitely not a young man any longer.<\/p>\n<p>I am interested in writing about the history of computers, the history of computer science, and the history of computer languages. As I browse Wikipedia and search the internet with Google, I discover there is a lot of studying to be done before I know enough about it to tell a coherent story. And after all, the most important part of history is story.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Sweet dreams, don\u2019t forget to tell the ones you love that you love them, and most important of all, be kind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Something interesting happened to me on the way to work this morning.
