Why is that I have not noticed this before? Now I have to retrain and refrain. I wish Scribefire would make a release that would be double space proof. Its hard to break a lifetime of spacing out (or double spacing out). Writing blog entries suddenly got a bit harder and I will need to go back and reread each post if I am concerned with the quality of my production. Come to think of; this blog has no real or implied quality. So its okay to have non-breaking spaces strewn throughout. Sometimes I feel like a non-breaking space myself.
Perhaps if I was writing for some big media conglomerate, I would actually give a damn. Now I sorta give a damn. Its annoying at the least because I was taught there should be two spaces at the end of each sentence. Writing that way and insisting on using parallel structure has been the dilemma I have faced since graduate school in anthropology. Why, oh why did I learn to write that way? Because the graduate dean had the power.
Meanwhile, my Sierra Broadband card rocks on. Its a solid networking performer on Linux and I love the flexibility it gives me.
Now I need to attend to a few other things. The kids want to go on vacation. The wife wants us to go to the snow. I have some questions about work. Its all about life. I told my wife this story of a work colleague and his wife when they went to see Into the Wild. They both walked out after feeling overwhelmed and affected. He turned to her and asked if she enjoyed it. She said “yes but never take me to see it again”. My wife thinks it has an affect on people that seems to go on. Perhaps Sean Penn knew this and often movies are made which take us to this other place away from awards and fancy clothing and walking the red carpet. Instead we walk another carpet and we see things that are hidden and they make us better. Or at least make us ask a whole series of other questions about what exactly it was we accomplished and how we did it.
