I write this Thursday evening, my first day back at the day job after spending the weekend playing rock star with 85,000 of my closest friends at Dragoncon in Atlanta. We had a pretty good weekend, all told, playing some great shows and seeing some good friends, and hell, making the Syfy Wire web page, […]

Swearing is Caring by Misbehavin' Maidens For those curious, the above-embedded tune from my friends the Misbehavin’ Maidens is the source of today’s title, though, per the navigation app estimates I just made, my trip is going to be 555 miles…I won’t quibble over 45 miles, which is probably what I’ll end up walking this […]

Having finished that class I took the last two weeks, I went back to the usual office grind on Monday, to get some good news, mostly hassle, and finding that nobody feels like answering their email or voice mail. Grrrr. The good news, that I keep hanging onto, is the fact that I only have […]

So, by the time this posts, it’ll be my birthday. Hello, 45. I don’t feel old, until I sprain something by tripping over nothing. Still, I *am* in better shape than I was when I was twenty, which I guess says something. Tomorrow is the last day of the class I’ve found myself in for […]

Yes, it’s Friday. Woo. About time. I honestly don’t have all that much to say. Work, hike, cook, sleep, repeat. Supposed to get together with some friends this weekend; hope it’s cool. Next week, and the week after, I’m in class – “intermediate software systems acquisition”. Exciting stuff, certainly. It’s only half as long, and […]

So, yeah, I spent most of Wednesday with a significant part of my brain thinking it was Thursday. When I came to that realization, believe me, it sucked. Wednesday night was a weird one…I dreamt that both my lovely wife and I were appointed as Supreme Court Justices, though the entire thing took place in […]

One unique thing I can really say about this week is that it passed, at least to the point I write this, remarkably fast; I’ll take it. Work’s been work, apart from the absolute shit briefing on Thursday afternoon; ’nuff said. I’ve been hiking rather than biking this week for my fitness/stress relief; partially for […]

Yes, this post will go up Friday, but I am writing it, as usual, on Thursday, which, as I indicate in the title, is my twenty-first wedding anniversary. Not much is going to happen on Thursday, because dance class, but the plan is go go out for dinner on Friday; I’m thinking Ammo Brewing, because […]

Hey folks, with a couple of new confirmations, I updated the gigs page (always linked above) with some neat new performance opportunities: Jult 20, 2019 – Williamsburg, VA – Retro Daddio -I’ll be sitting in with my old bandmates Dimensional Riffs for RD’s “Potter Party” event August 29 – September 2 2019 – Atlanta, GA […]

My life this week has been defined primarily by the never-ending fountain of documents related to the acquisition nightmare I’ve gotten yanked into by the boss. This should be a relatively easy thing, but this particular effort has been kicked back by the review board three times now, and the strategy has been changed just […]
