On Friday I spent some time talking about “The Six Month Wall”, and how the way to get past it, according to experts, is to just give yourself permission to be less productive and take a bit of a break. So, this weekend, that’s what I did. The weather was mostly crap, so I stuck […]

Not much to say about the week, really. Accomplished a few things, encountered more than a few frustrations, pressed on through it all because I’m a goddamn professional, and, as it appears will come to pass as I write this, will make it through to the end mostly unscathed. Did most of it through the […]

A big chunk of my weekend involved actually getting some miles under me, and took me, for the first time in a few months, out of my typical 25 mile radius of my living room. It was, at least, novel, even if it consisted primarily of pandemic theater, manual labor, and a sore ass. Addressing […]

Four day weekend. Not terrible, other than the slightly cloudy feeling I’m likely to have until later this week when I was able to schedule a doctor’s appointment because somewhere between the larger medical group (which ate up my wonderful doctor’s smaller practice last year) and the pharmacy system, there was a hiccup that has […]

This weekend was short, above all. Ugh. Biked both days (and discovered baby bunnies again this year at the usual part of the trail), got some excellent produce at the farmer’s market (which supported a pretty good roasted chicken and some excellent asian stir fry), returned some library books (now that they let us do […]

My least favorite part of every weekday is the ten or fifteen minutes spanning the time where my alarm goes off at 6:00am; I nearly *always* wake up shortly before the radio (or actually static this morning, since I knocked the clock radio off the nightstand some time this weekend, and it bumped the tuning […]

While I had a few thoughts in this space this week, it’s been largely, you know, the same. Get up (even earlier than usual today, because sleep, it seems, is fleeting), work, maybe go for a walk, handle some chores, watch some tv or read, go to bed. I while it’s not always obvious, especially […]

Since my last dispatch 48 hours or so ago, it’s honestly pretty much the same. I get up, I work for a few hours in the company of my cat, sit conference calls and answer emails, then I try and come up with other stuff to fill the time; and honestly, with few exceptions, I […]

I check in today to let the world know I’m still here, existing. The weekend was what it was; sticking around the house except to do a pretty big grocery run and on Sunday to pick up a new blu-ray player I ordered online from Target, because when you’re stuck in the house, the ability […]

This business is starting to become routine now, which I guess is good, because I’m pretty sure we’re in this for the long-term, at least through June, if I’m reading the tea leaves of state government and the scant information coming out of the office. I’ve been working from home for the last week (even […]
