Not much to say about the week, really. Accomplished a few things, encountered more than a few frustrations, pressed on through it all because I’m a goddamn professional, and, as it appears will come to pass as I write this, will make it through to the end mostly unscathed. Did most of it through the […]

So, it’s finally Friday. Been a long week for a number of reasons, though I don’t really feel like talking specifics; it’s either dull, or not my place to say. Ups and downs; it’s what we got. I do come into today feeling a little bit more optimistic than is typical of me lately. Headlines […]

Tuesday was the first day in what feels like quite a while that I saw the sun, and it was terribly welcome. After some ups and downs in the virtual office (decent forward progress of the “two steps forward, one step back” variety), I racked the bike and put almost seventeen miles under me on […]

The weekend was long, both too long, and not quite long enough, and I’m totally cool with embracing that contradiction. Our attempt to provide some sort of adventure for the newly-minted teenager was enjoyed by the kid, though we didn’t budget our time particularly well. We hit the craft store and the second-hand book store […]

SBCL (Separated by a Common Language, or any of these things). I work in public sector information technology, which means that TLAs (Three Letter Acronyms) run rampant; it’s one of this career path’s joys. I’m pretty sure if I felt like putting in the effort, I could probably knock out a paragraph or three in […]

A big chunk of my weekend involved actually getting some miles under me, and took me, for the first time in a few months, out of my typical 25 mile radius of my living room. It was, at least, novel, even if it consisted primarily of pandemic theater, manual labor, and a sore ass. Addressing […]

It’s been a week; certainly. Glad to see it mostly behind me. There actually hasn’t been all that much to report since the storm kinda fizzled earlier this week. Been just rainy and humid enough to scuttle most of the bike riding, but I spent a couple of nice enough afternoons hiking a local park, […]

As I type this Isaias is working it’s way up the East Coast, and is likely to drop 4-6 inches of rain all over us here in the center of the Commonwealth, and a bit more on my friends to the East, as well as all the states north and south. Yay. Rain’s been coming […]

Apparently I pushed myself very hard this weekend in terms of physical activity. I did almost 70 miles on the bike over 4 days this week/weekend. Felt really good while I was doing it. I woke up Sunday morning unable to move without wincing. I am not 20 anymore; I’m in better baseline physical health […]
