The Nerd's Eye View

Part of the "charm" of my blog is the spontaneity of it, and of course the fact that I am not filtered in the slightest. Like a pack of Lucky Strikes you get the full impact of my observations, with not even those flimsy cylinders of fiberglass that save you from premature lung cancer. This sets up an interesting moral dilemma for me, namely do I show any restraint at all in my writing?

What brings all this up was the fact that I was sitting in a meeting today with a young man who looked like he'd been unfrozen from glacial ice in the Pyrenees scant moments ago. His hairline seemed to be rolling downhill towards his nose and he looked very much like someone who didn't especially need to ever wear a baseball gap. I sat across a conference table from this specimen and forced myself not to log in and comment on this. My fingers twitched and I began to sweat. This restraint thing is not quite as easy as one would have thought. Lucky for me I have great intestinal fortitude and managed to avoid it ... but it's only a matter of time before the urge overtakes me again... God help me!
