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 […]

It’s Hallowe’en. Enjoy, celebrate, do your thing. Get silly, get scary, indulge your inner cosplayer. I don’t advocate vandalism or that sort of thing, but if you’re gonna do that, TP and chalk graffiti don’t do any permanent damage, and it’s supposed to rain late tonight around here anyway. Me? I’m probably not going to […]

It’s Friday…now; I spent a good bit of Thursday unable to shake the impression that it was, in fact, Friday then. It was not the best feeling. It’s been another week of a lot of the same sort of OG Herbert Kornfeld life; writing thousands of words few if anyone will read in the service […]

As mentioned last week, the kids’ 2008 Scion xB consumed it’s own motor and has become a subcompact, boxy-yet-attractive, towable paperweight in my driveway. Work is underway to obtain some measure of value back in salvage, though it won’t be nearly what we’ve put into it over the last couple of months since we bought […]

First off, it didn’t suck. It was, honestly, pretty much everything I was looking for. Waiting impatiently for next week. Otherwise, not much to report for the week. Work, bike, read. Looking forward to getting together with some friends downtown on Saturday, checking out a band at the local historic theater this evening. Tunes this […]

I seem to have lost mine. The thought of staring down over five hours of online meetings will do that, I suppose. This short, pointless post has been brought to you by…y’know? who cares?

It’s Friday, but you’re not getting a playlist today. I took a couple of days off, just for me, to deal with some medical appointments, and because the “vacation” I have lined up for later this month is definitely of the working variety. Go listen to your own music; I’m busy spending a good bit […]

As indicated in the last post, I spent a lot of time in the company of other humans this weekend. The birthday party was low-key, but attended by a bunch of people I didn’t know all that well. That said, we spent a pleasant couple of hours chatting with our elders, and watching the birthday […]

If one were given to wallow in cliche, absence, they say, makes the heart grow fonder. Honestly, though, based on the stats, mostly don’t think anybody much cares. Apart from a couple of playlist posts the last couple of weeks, I’ve been largely absent from this space. And if I’m absent, pretty much everybody’s absent; […]

As I’m still fighting off this respiratory thing, I spent the weekend largely down, trying to rest and medicate this thing away. The weather cooperated with me by being largely garbage all weekend, so I wasn’t particularly tempted to push myself with outdoor exercise. I watched a couple of movies, played some Pokemon, read some […]
