Ups and downs this week, more than usual. Work was feast or famine, either waiting for things to happen, or being stuck on the phone for 5 straight hours during a Reply-All-Pocalypse. Emotions were a bit of a roller coaster: at different times, I was both my best and my worst self. I got the […]

I’ve mentioned this event in this space before, but this time, I’m including….a poster! This Sunday, I’ll be on the bill at the RavenCon Summer Concert, along with other acts including Mikey Mason, Dirty Metal Lefty, Doctor Shock and the Electrodes, and my former bandmates Dimensional Riffs. It’ll be a safe and (hopefully) beautiful summer […]

“I know people talk about freedom, but I learned growing up … with freedom comes responsibility. The decision to be unvaccinated impacts someone else.” It seems the President and I are of a mind on some things. That quote above is from his remarks on Thursday announcing new plans for stepping up the pace on […]

The work week itself has been exceedingly dull. Other than chasing around one of the data trading partners’ sending of a bunch of duplicate transactions and checking on the status of the few remaining FY21 requirement acquisitions, there’s not been a lot, because, as I said, my pile is largely worked through, and everyone else […]

A mixed bag for the weekend, honestly, but the good was a nice surprise, and the bad at least made some progress. Finally had the poor, overworked A/C technician come by to address the A/C unit (poor guy is ridiculously overbooked and has way too large an area to cover); diagnosing was easy enough (bad […]

In most respects, this week has been pretty darned typical. Apart from my taking the day off Monday, it’s been work, bike, read, watch some stuff on TV. And Oh yeah, deal with the frustration of things breaking or wearing out…again. The VPN at work has been crashing hard all week, especially on Thursday. There’s […]

Congregate was a pretty decent time, all told. I saw plenty of friends, played some music, including getting my own reasonably well-attended (in comparison to average attendance for musical performances for the weekend) last minute set when I filled in for my friend Keith on Friday afternoon (which went way better than my impulsive open […]

Doing this today, as I’m making a long weekend of it and heading down to Winston-Salem NC this weekend for Con-Gregate to see some friends and play some music, as one is wont to do at these sorts of things. As for where one can catch me doing those things, here’s my tentative schedule: Friday, […]

Been another week. Work. Bike. Play a little guitar. Standard in this time when half the world has decided that the pandemic’s over, and the other half is focusing on rising infections of the Delta Variant, especially because a good third of this country (and a much larger percentage of the localities surrounding mine, even […]

This week’s been, shall we say…slow. As I indicated earlier this week, I’ve been feeling a little off-kilter, in large part, I think, due to how slow things have been. Things got a little better as the week went on, I suppose, as the weather the last couple of days has been gorgeous, and I’ve […]
