♫ Bicycle Man, Bicycle Man Bicycle Man meets Pine Cone Man They Have a Fight, Pine Cone wins Road Rash Man ♫ …but at least I finished the Capital Trail Summer Challenge Virtual Birthday Challenge…413.6 miles down, the last four bleeding.

So it’s been a quiet a couple of weeks in terms of posting missives here that no one reads anyway. It happens. I’ve honestly been mostly working too much and neglecting much of the rest of life, at least until I got to the end of June and it’s big work product deadlines, then I […]

Been a bit of an overwhelming week and change. LONG work days involving going into an actual office for several days in the interest of meeting deadlines and doing our part to quash the “drinking from the fire hose” mentality my workplace just can’t seem to let go of. Lots of personal stuff to do […]

Not a lot of engagement with the world, online or otherwise that hasn’t had to do with work these last two weeks. That can happen when you get assigned a seriously time-sensitive and poorly-documented requirement that somebody just dropped and abandoned four or five months ago, and needs to be solved now or the organization […]

Not loving this week. In particular, Thursday. I’m not sure I mentioned it previously, but we’ve been down a car the last week and change after somebody forgot the emergency brake and the Honda rolled back into a gas pump pollard and hyper-extended the open door. As such, I’ve really not had the range of […]

Been a hell of a week all around. Don’t feel like talking about it. Here’s what Spotify spit out this morning while I’ve been doing my best to smile through the despair That’s a link, btw, to a track from my quick-and-dirty bandcamp release of fawm two-track demos – the whole six-track record may be […]

It’s been another long week, even if the end of this particular project is in sight at work. We’ll get there. But that’s not what I’m going to focus on this morning. What I’m going to talk about is watching one of my favorite things in the world destroy itself in real time. I’m not […]

This weekend was something of a struggle; I know you all know this – if you’ve been reading, you’ve been watching my downfall in real-time. Friday’s work wasn’t terrible, though I was just kind of numb. They dropped one of those Friday bombshells in the morning; a new agency manual for my corner of the […]

I’ll be honest, I’ve been struggling this week. My boss has been out a couple of days for a well-deserved break, and as her designated emergency out-of-office reply contact, I’ve been putting out a few fires in between all the business case review meetings and getting awfully frustrated with the way that our re-alignment of […]

Objectively, this weekend was largely successful and productive. I addressed a lot of regular #adulting responsibilities, stayed in line with my fitness objectives (weather permitting), managed a relatively successful family outing, did some preparatory work for my previously mentioned brewery gig in a couple of weeks, and even managed to book two more music gigs […]
