A boat into the night flies among the stars.

In this episode, Captain Sisko has a mid-life crisis.
His son is getting much older and shows little desire to follow in the old man's footsteps, Jake and Dad find that they are growing apart because time is passing fast for them. His Son Jake shows no interest in going with his father on this handcrafted spaceship. But little by little Jake realized his father really wants to connect with him at some level and this is it. The story really connected with me as I have teenagers that want to spend less and less time connecting with the old man. Jake has some irritation with his dad and they encounter some dangerous misadventures but both are up to the task. They reflect on their par and their love for each other. Moments to connect with your children are few and far apart, but these moments are all that matters whether sitting planted on this gravitational rock or when galavanting on a garage built solar sail ship into a new discovery. Enjoy then and cherish your sons and daughters every day while they still are at home.

Or created due to my repetitive 20 year work as an IT professional, but it is what creative intellectuals do to cope with the inherent lack of creative challenges. There are those who create and those who consume. I fortunately or unfortunately am the creative type and sometimes my work does provide a challenge that requires my creative thinking, but most often than not it only offers repetitive mundane yaks that must be stamped out. So in the meantime the brain creates problems or attention getters that really do not need attention at all, like keeping up with the news or Facebook. These are subconsciously implanted as tasks to be completed to make the brain perceive that it has more to do than what is really present. Over time this becomes the nor and things like this be one the norm at home too. You try to sit patiently and listen through your Childs story and you catch y

Productive Day

Enjoying a productive day studying business communications and Human Relationship Management. Sat at Scooter's Coffee and really enjoyed the atmospehere, although the lack of the famous Totty coffee. Had a wonderful family lunch with my kids and wife eating Tropical Smoothy Cafe food. Decided to be a good son and water my mother's garden. As I turned on the hose I worried a little about the water consumption regulations, but I was quicly at ease at looking at how long there poor plants had gone without water, and watered away. The ADD'ness of the NET is wearing off more now and learning to read at least 3 pages without checking gmail and facebook!! Reading books is such a cool concept, I am sad that the Internet multitasking overloadingness is slowly training people to consume at max speed and not enjoy content. Less can me much more gratifiying than more.....
