I’d Be Back in the 1980s

Well, computers have been part of the corporate world for my whole life. If that hadn’t happened, I don’t know how it would have impacted my life. Before that, “computer” was a person who was tasked with doing work that digital computers now do. Maybe I’d’ be a computer myself πŸ˜€. But I’ve lived about … Continue reading I’d Be Back in the 1980s

My Dancing πŸ˜€

Truth be told, I never did much dancing, but it’s never too late to learn πŸ˜€. By the way, that’s not me in the video – it’s Stanley Laurel.

I’m pretty much retired now, but when I … Continue reading It’s a Hard Knock Life

Firstly, I’m always a little jealous of people who work in coffee shops in tourist areas. An … Continue reading Fantasy Jobs

Ireland’s Cultural Heritage

I asked Microsoft Copilot what exactly cultural heritage is πŸ˜€. This is what it said: Cultural heritage refers to the legacy of physical artifacts and intangible attributes inherited from past generations, maintained in the present, and passed on to future generations. It encompasses the traditions, customs, monuments, artworks, language, and knowledge that shape a community’s … Continue reading Ireland’s Cultural Heritage

Lyons the Quality Tea

I’m not in any way into fashion. I do remember being quite proud of my wrangler denim jacket when I was 14, but even then, I wasn’t into fashion. But I’ll list the IT-related brands that have been great friends to me in recent years. Before I do, let me mention McDonald’s. I like seeing … Continue reading Lyons the Quality Tea
