Take the simple example of going out to eat as a group. As you are deciding where the go, it is very unlikely that everyone will agree on a place off the bat. If anything, more than likely everyone’s response will be – “I’m fine with whatever”. You can be sure that’s a lie. Very few, if any, are really OK with any choice – restaurant or otherwise.
What they really mean by “I’m fine with whatever” is that they are too lazy to have categorized all the choices into:
The last may not be in everyone’s mind, but the other 3 definitely are. And there is a simple proof. Next time you are going out with your friends and no one is suggesting anything go ahead and suggest something totally ridiculous. A place that that everyone is over dressed for or something. My trick is to suggest McDonalds. Don’t get me wrong, I like McD just as much as the next guy, but it is usually not a place we go to when we go out.
Soon as I mention McD most will immediately say – “anyplace but McD”. To which I respond, “so, how about <any generic fast food burger place>?” and the response to that is usually, “well, not really in the mood for fast food”.
So, that’s #1 and #2.

I really wish I started writing something on each of my special day much earlier. I had even thought about it. But me and my procrastination . . . . .
Anyway, I am going to try the next best thing possible – thin of each of the year in the past and try to recall what was going thru me at that time. I’m sure I will be leaving out a lot – since this is more publicly available. But I should put enough in here so that I can later recall what was going through. The more recent years I should be able to recall more easily – since have pictures ;~)

I finally decided to get a eBook – “Programming Amazon Web Services”. The initial search led me to believe that
But once I decided to get it and started looking for my options I soon realized:
So, basically the very first eBook I really wanted to get – I am unable to because B&N / Nook has not kept up with Software updates 😦

A lot of these are from Triple D and other Food Network Shows and I have a separate list of them, but a few are that I have picked from friends and other sources.
Here’s a list of places I learned about from my friends.

Of the many things that are on my wishlist, one that is always on my mind is – to get my blog posts updated properly. I start too many posts / topics but have yet to finish any one of them 😦
While I work on that, I would like to someday like to learn to bake – cakes, breads, pastries and other desserts. I can’t really cook, but am able to follow a recipe for the most part. And if I do make a mistake, I am able to recover for the most part.
If I could write a book that other’s would find interesting – and if none of the above ever gets done but ths, that would be pretty neat. Some of my “book” ideas (in no particular order):
A friend of mine recently reminded me of the whole Coffee spot book.
