Bill Roper's Journal

And it was back to work today. It's always fun to pick everything up after a long weekend. :)

I have promised to get back on the exercycle in the mornings.

This means that I should probably get to bed now...

I finally ditched enough of this damned respiratory infection that I got back on the exercycle this week. As a result, I am once again reading back issues of Time magazine, in this case from 2003.

In the issue I just finished, there was an article about Oracle launching a hostile takeover bid for PeopleSoft. There were a number of companies discussed in the article. Save for Microsoft, IBM, and SAP, I think Oracle has now acquired all of them.

I pulled the last issue off the current stack of magazines, then dug down to a deeply buried shelf in the closet to pull the last massive stack of Time up to the now empty and more accessible shelf. When I did so, two comics from 2003 surfaced: H.E.R.O. #1 and Harley Quinn #27.

Did you know that they used to print comics on newsprint? In the current millennium?

As of tomorrow morning (assuming that I get out of bed and do it), I'll have been back on the exercycle for three weeks. My legs are feeling much better, which is partially due to finally healing up and partially due to the exercise, or so I suspect.

The Time Warp with old issues of the magazine that I'm reading on the exercycle is currently in the first half of 2003. It's remarkable reading.

It's not what you know that gets you in trouble. It's what you know that isn't so...
