I have started traveling on business for Microsoft. Travel has become a lot stranger since my time as Zorro in colonial California. Remember, I rode around on a horse in a mask, cape and carrying a sword. So, things getting stranger is quite an accomplishment. My psychiatrist suggested that I start practicing Buddhism. It should help with the impluses to carve a Z on people's bottoms. Buddhist monks are vegetarians, but the rule for the laity is more lax. It seems that we can eat meat as long as the "food" was not specifically killed for us. This means no lobster right from the tank, for example. Some weird non-violence thing happened when I was in Hong Kong. Some colleagues took me to a restaurant in Hong Kong and ordered dishes for the table. One of the dishes was "fresh fish." I wondered how fresh. If the fish is alive, I cannot eat it. I did not tell this to my colleagues. It would kind of diminish the fear of Zorro. I asked if the fish is ...

I did my first customer visit yesterday. The customer is building a "composite application" for property insurace application processing. I am having a little trouble getting my mind around the concept. You have to remember that Zorro has been out of the loop for a while. I could not follow the terms. I wasn't quite sure what a composite was. I had gone to the dentist earlier in the week and heard the term composite. The dentist said he was going to put a "composite filling" into one of my teeth. BTW, the dentist office was pretty nice to me. My advice is to wear a cape and carry a sword the next time you visit the dentist. They'll give you some stuff that knocks the socks off of Novacaine and Nitrous-Oxide. Plus, they do not give you the injection in your mouth. They use one of those "dart gun things" you see on the National Geographic Channel when they tag polar bears. Make sure that your parole officer and psychiatrist calls ...

Why is Zorro blogging and about what? Hi. This is Zorro, and I joined Microsoft. Why am I blogging? It is a condition of my parole. Obviously, this needs explanation. I have had a little trouble finding my way since the Spanish colonial control over California ended. I like fighting oppression, but had trouble finding something to sink my sword into. This doesn’t mean there weren’t worthy causes. My problem was that the authorities had developed better firearms. A rapier might work against a musket, but taking on a Glock is bad idea. Eventually, I went to a Red Sox – Yankees baseball game, and this really interested me. I used to go to ballgames all the time, but things went horribly wrong one day at Yankee Stadium. A few of the Yankee fans were ridiculing some Red Sox fans. This was the 200 th time I had seen this happen. The Sox gave a lot of opportunities for Yankee fans to tease Sox fans. I knew I was the only armed spectator. The police made sure that people ...
