My last post ended singing the praises of the live-action Japanese Spider-Man tv show. I believe I mentioned the machine gun guitar cowboy? And didn’t post a link to this wonder of 70s television? Well, click here. With that bit of business out of the way… Not sure how I feel about the week…when I […]

I am very tired. We were way too busy this weekend (well, okay, too busy Saturday). The baby keeping me up past two am didn’t help either. Luckily, I have a nice wife who lets me sleep in occasionally while she gets showered with baby gifts. I am going to bed early tonight. I think […]

With this week begun, I’m easing myself back into the daily work grind; not that I’m actually in the office (that’s next week), rather, I’m taking the third week of my training for work at another of the fine hotels just the other side of I-95.

I haven’t posted much this week, as, unsurpringly, we’ve been busy getting used to the new addition to the family, and I’ve been spending a great deal of my not playing with the baby time at one of the hotels down the road for some work-sponsored training (second […]

…though it still feels like sharp kick to the guts. The initial selection (the list from which they pick the people to interview) for those other jobs I put in for came out today, and I didn’t even rank.  Apparently, my cunningly included keywords were less cunningly included than everybody else’s; at least so much […]

yay. Now the real fun begins. ….later that day So, we’ve been home a few hours now, and things are settling in. The cats are tolerant of the new presence, and unsurprisingly, Jersey is very happy, as she has a little person to look out for again, our old dog has perked up again. Anyway, […]
