Another week mostly in the books. Apart from recording my virtual Dragoncon set (and catching up with my friend running things) on Wednesday night, it was mostly just work, sinus drainage, bills, and exercise. The lovely spouse and I did make a late night of it on Thursday heading out to the Drive-In to catch […]

Bruen. Dobbs. Kennedy. OK v. Castro-Huerta. WV v. EPA…. From my perspective, this was not a great couple of weeks for this country. These decisions, along with some other things, have not made things better. More guns. Right to privacy gutted. Establishment Clause crossed out. Tribal Sovereignty rolled back to 1839. The government’s ability to […]

Y’know…four day weeks, longer than five, etc… It’s cliché for a reason, though. As I started this Friday morning, I already had 29 hours on the books (out of a four day week total of 32), most of it in active conversation, either on the phone, via collaboration apps, or, horror of horrors, in an […]

Same verse, same as the last thousand…long days, long nights, etc… Specifically, though, I got home in the early hours of the morning after spending the evening in Norfolk watching some chosen family graduate in the ODU arena on Thursday. It was worth it for seeing and supporting friends, though, when a man’s gotta put […]

Most of my week’s been way too deeply invested in developing a couple of sales pitch decks for the C-suite pushing a new organizational scheme for requirements in the program management center…Well, I say “new”, when I really mean “a”, because currently, there really isn’t any rhyme or reason to things. My boss and our […]

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; […]

The excessive life has slowed down somewhat, but I’ve still got way too many balls in the air, so to speak, and seriously don’t have the energy or free brain cycles to go on about it here. Once things settle a bit more? We’ll likely be back to our regularly scheduled web-hosted bitching. Suffice it […]

Still too much life; memos, insurance, horrific news (and our unfortunate numbness to it as a nation), insomnia, graduations and transitions, bizarre requests, and a whole bunch of rain. I’m exhausted. I fell asleep before 7pm last night watching the new Chip n’ Dale’s Rescue Rangers movies on the couch. Yeah. Here’s a list of […]

Too much life this week, friends. I’ve got nothin’. Here’s some music: “Madonna of the Wasps” – Robyn Hitchcock & The Egyptians “Try Me On…I’m Very You” – Deee-Lite “Head Over Heels (Dave Bascombe 7″ N.Mix)” – Tears for Fears “The New World” – X “The Hook” – Stephen Malkmus “Turtles Have Short Legs” – […]

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 […]
