When I was nominated for the APA Distinguished Scientific Contribution
Award (still pending, so there's still a chance in heck), I felt
great. Noam Chomsky, B.F. Skinner, and Carl Rogers won that award.

And then I found out that one of these idiots picked up the phone and
called up the APA and whined to them about me.

The APA rep din't pay them no nevermind, mind you, but still.... what
gall!

The very thought that these people exist ... lurking ... waiting ....

Well, I shall get some "revenge" ... one of the courses I'm designing
is Cyber Law and Privacy, and stalking and reputation bashing will be
a component of the course.

In fact ... something else "good" has come of this. I'm now working on
a non-fiction book called "Reinventing Yourself: Using Your Gifts for
Self-Improvement in a Digital Age."

Going on the "if life hands you lemons, make lemonade" approach just
feels so ... right.
