Tweet tweet

Friends, I've been wondering how many of my loyal readers are also active on Twitter.  I don't "tweet" that often, but sometimes do, just because I see, hear or experience something worth mentioning.  And I can tell you that I don't have that many Twitter followers, but a few that are active and take note of some of the stuff I post.  Here's a sampling:

Just complimented a delivery driver on his Batman sox. Answered that his visor and shirt matched, adding that his name is Bruce Wayne.

How about Blazin’ Billy? Another base hit, RBI, ten game hit streak, and oh, by the way, he just stole second.

Neighbor was out with a chainsaw at 4:00 AM clearing a tree that was partially blocking the street. Civic responsibility is great, but…

I must be living right, as I’ve been to four of these spots: http://t.co/kSFN9XfkZH

If you were as taken with the @COSMOSonTV as I was, here's the passage read by the late Carl Sagan: http://t.co/mZA5LWIy4T

You get the idea.

That's my Twitter "name," "richardlexsmith."  If you have any interest in Twitter, set up a free account and follow me.  I like it because I can follow friends or famous people, learn about interesting articles and lots more stuff.  Fun and informative, and a lot faster than sifting through all of that without some sort of filter!

Hope to see you in the Twittersphere!

Replacement value

Hope everyone's week is off to a good start. My premise today is rather simple.  When is it best to replace something that's older with a similar item that's newer?  What criteria do you use to make that decision?  Is it something you give a lot of thought to, or is it more impulsive? My answer, for better or worse, is that it depends. And I stand by that response. For instance, for fourteen years my car was a 2007 Honda Pilot SUV.  Bought it as a demonstrator with 4,400 miles already on it.  Went a lot of places in that car, numerous business trips to St. Louis, Birmingham, Atlanta, Nashville, Cleveland and many other destinations.  Transported me and my son to Cincinnati to see the Reds countless times, and later took along his two older children for games.  Survived a couple of multi-state baseball trips.  Went on vacation to Colorado for other lots of other weekend excursions.  I did all of the major required maintenance, but after the second timing belt was installed,

Thankful every day

Good morning and happy Thanksgiving to everyone! I just wanted to stop by to share a couple of brief thoughts on this, our national day of gratitude and appreciation. I am most appreciative that I have a wonderful family who loves me in spite of my failings, and who accept my love unconditionally! I am fortunate to have a job that I like, where I feel I am doing people some good (finally, after many years of NOT feeling this way!), and that I am very good at performing! I am grateful for the core of good friends I have upon whom I can rely for strength, support and comfort.  Some of them don't even know how much I feel for them, so I need to work on that.  But most all of them know who they are! I am thankful to live in a country that is not under military assault by another, and where I have the ability to exercise my right to help choose our leaders.  Let us hope that we are able to continue to provide this freedom in perpetuity. And I'm appreciative of this forum, where I ca

Latest and greatest

Happy Saturday, friends!  Hope.you had a good week and are ready for some down time. I don’t consider myself an early adopter of most anything, but I suppose that’s always a little subjective.  I resisted the iPhone when it first came out, not only because I really, REALLY liked my Blackberry at the time, but also because I didn’t want to have to switch to AT&T’s cellular service, which I believe was called Cingular Wireless at the time.  I have had Verizon Wireless for a long, long time, and like their service overall.  So that didn’t interest me right away. When I finally did get my first iPhone, I was pretty well blown away, and have been an enthusiastic user of various versions of this device since.  I actually had an iPad before I had an iPhone, but learned enough with the workings of that tablet that I was able to troubleshoot for members of my work team who had iPhones.  The rest came rather naturally, of course. I was also a little slow to adapt to HDTV, which is, of course
