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 […]
So, returning to the indifferent embrace of the bureaucracy this week eventually sorted itself out, after a rough day or two to start. By the time you’re reading this, my inbox is completely tended, the groove is starting to get re-established, and I’ve already put a few presumptive public employees in their place for not […]
As of today, I have supposedly returned to the regular daily grind of a mild-mannered professional bureaucrat and leaving behind my detour into the life of a free-wheeling, wild-living rock star. As if. In any case, please enjoy the following brief after-action report: The gigs at ConGregate and Confluence were, on the whole, reasonably successful. […]
As indicated previously, I’m taking a bit of a working vacation beginnning this weekend, playing shows at a couple of cons on the east coast and taking a few days off in-between; a small tour, if you will… My first stop is Con-Gregate 8 this weekend in Winston-Salem NC. I’ll be playing a couple of […]
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 […]
