See you in a month!

EDIT: It looks like I succeeded in reclaiming control of the domain. I’ll do a simple domain forward to “GregoryLemon.WordPress.com” which has been powering the sight for a while anyways. This will have to suffice until I can get a full install up on my regular servers.

(I’m showing some of WordPress.com Features and using this as a test post.  Enjoy!)

In the past, I have joked with others that I wasn’t sure what I wanted to be when I grew up. Well, now I do. I’m not going to share what that will be but it will take most of what little free time I don’t have for the next few years. To be able to keep my professional, family, and personal commitments, something had to give.

I have not produced a new episode of either of these shows for many months due to these commitments. I still love these stories and sharing them and the new path I’m starting down will allow me to share these and other stories more than I ever have before. When the time comes, I’ll let you know.

Thanks, Greg

When I saw a movie trailer on Hulu.com I was excited but concerned about what they did with the book. Here’s the trailer:

Hulu.com Trailer Link

I thought that this is a great trailer. I like how they took the story of a grandfather’s “recollection of his past” into a story about a lovable “mad” scientist/hero. I look forward to seeing this when it comes out. This may even be good enough to see it in the theaters!

A great video that shows how “Everything is Amazing, Nobody is Happy”. It’s a video of Louis C.K. on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien”. Thanks to Krishna at PCWeenies for the link.

It’s amazing, I’m sitting at a laptop that has probably has more power than the NASA rockets that went to the moon and wishing I had something faster. I think we can all appreciate the funny perspective that this video provides.

Thanks for visiting.

My wife shared this poem at her Weight Watcher meetings this week. I don’t know the original source, it came from a very creative WW Staff Member.

Twas the night before Christmas and what thoughts did It bring?
My mind said to me, “Why not have a big fling?”

There were pies in the oven, sugared nuts in the jar
There were snacks for the party and booze in the bar

No! I’ll resist the temptation! I’ll keep a strong head!
I’ll not eat a bite! And I climbed into bed

When out of my stomach there came such a roar
I sprang from my bed, landing flat on the floor

Away to the kitchen I flew like a flash
Tore open the fridge to do something RASH!

The light from within gave a heavenly glow
To the objects of food laid on trays there below

And about to indulge in a goodie or two,
I heard a bell jingle and stopped right on cue

Before I’d give in to a snack food to eat
I’d put on my coat and get out on my feet

Was it hunger I felt? Or was I just bored?
This year I’d think first, before my points soared

I put on my coat, my warm gloves and shoes
Determined to contemplate goodies I’d choose

The moon on the crest of the new fallen snow
And on houses and trees gave a sparkle and glow

As I walked down the street, my mind did recall
All the things that we’d said at the Weight Watchers hall

At my meetings that served me to motivate
With words of encouragement to help shed this weight

I spoke not a word when my walk was done
I felt so renewed — I knew I had won!

I walked into the kitchen, my Momentum books read
Had an orange, with a smile, and headed for bed

And I said to myself as I turned out the light
I will jingle, not jiggle — I have fought the good fight.

May this holiday season fill your hearts with joy and your souls full of peace. May the next holiday season find you healthier (and possibly lighter) than this one.

New Approach:
This focus of this website has changed to be more of a blog than an online portfolio. All of the previous content is still available, but the blog posts are now the central focus. Topics that belong on my other websites will be found in their respective sites, but I will include blog posts on a larger variety of topics on this site.

Until next time…check out my twitter feed (in the sidebar.)
