“I know people talk about freedom, but I learned growing up … with freedom comes responsibility. The decision to be unvaccinated impacts someone else.” It seems the President and I are of a mind on some things. That quote above is from his remarks on Thursday announcing new plans for stepping up the pace on […]

As I do most mornings after clearing out the inbox and before diving into the day’s litany of meetings and paperwork, I can the news headlines of the day, as being informed on the world around me is part of my responsibility as a citizen, as well as telling me what the weather’s going to […]

The work week itself has been exceedingly dull. Other than chasing around one of the data trading partners’ sending of a bunch of duplicate transactions and checking on the status of the few remaining FY21 requirement acquisitions, there’s not been a lot, because, as I said, my pile is largely worked through, and everyone else […]

A mixed bag for the weekend, honestly, but the good was a nice surprise, and the bad at least made some progress. Finally had the poor, overworked A/C technician come by to address the A/C unit (poor guy is ridiculously overbooked and has way too large an area to cover); diagnosing was easy enough (bad […]

In most respects, this week has been pretty darned typical. Apart from my taking the day off Monday, it’s been work, bike, read, watch some stuff on TV. And Oh yeah, deal with the frustration of things breaking or wearing out…again. The VPN at work has been crashing hard all week, especially on Thursday. There’s […]

Congregate was a pretty decent time, all told. I saw plenty of friends, played some music, including getting my own reasonably well-attended (in comparison to average attendance for musical performances for the weekend) last minute set when I filled in for my friend Keith on Friday afternoon (which went way better than my impulsive open […]

Doing this today, as I’m making a long weekend of it and heading down to Winston-Salem NC this weekend for Con-Gregate to see some friends and play some music, as one is wont to do at these sorts of things. As for where one can catch me doing those things, here’s my tentative schedule: Friday, […]

Been another week. Work. Bike. Play a little guitar. Standard in this time when half the world has decided that the pandemic’s over, and the other half is focusing on rising infections of the Delta Variant, especially because a good third of this country (and a much larger percentage of the localities surrounding mine, even […]
