So, periodontal surgery last week went off without a hitch; got the gums slashed and stitched, and after the first eighteen hours or so which hurt like hell, the pain’s been very manageable. I’m a little tired of the industrial plastic taste from the dressings installed around the sutures, and am growing rather weary of […]

So, last weekend was a nice diversion, getting to play some shows with my friends down in Durham. I thought we sounded pretty good, though it’d have been nice if more folks had come to the shows. This one wasn’t really a big music event, though double-digits would’ve been nice. The Saturday show, though, did […]

It has been a week. I worked, I got through the day, I mostly slept okay, and had a really nice bike ride in Thursday afternoon’s gorgeous 80°+ temperatures, which helped distract me from what day Thursday was. Three decades later, I still miss my dad most on his birthday. Not much so say otherwise, […]

As hinted at last week, I spent a great deal of this week fighting off a sinus bug that’s making its way around the household. I plodded through the work week, got some minimal time outside (my Pikmin Bloom group pooling for 100k steps is going to be tight), and did my best to sleep […]

I’m honestly not sure why, though I spent a good bit of this week feeling like I was on the edge of sick. Exhausted, hot/cold flashes, headaches, and all that good stuff. I continued to plow through my week nonetheless, because there’s stuff that had to be done, including some extra running about, as until […]

Been a hell of a week all around. Don’t feel like talking about it. Here’s what Spotify spit out this morning while I’ve been doing my best to smile through the despair That’s a link, btw, to a track from my quick-and-dirty bandcamp release of fawm two-track demos – the whole six-track record may be […]

Few particularly noteworthy accomplishments to report this week. Last weekend? Sure. All those previously mentioned events went off without a hitch, and on Sunday I did a two-fer on state parks, hitting York River and Machicomico, hiking a little over eleven miles between them, and ticking off the next milestone on the Trail Quest business. […]

Another week down and all that…one that’s been pretty dull overall. Got out and spent some time outside, though not yesterday when it was gorgeous and I was stuck in a pre-brief for a CIO in-process review until almost 6pm, but whatever. Still hit my fitness goals every other day, got my stuff done, and […]

Another week in the can, and for once, it mostly resembled a regular 40 hour week, apart from the fact that I took Tuesday off to do some doc appointments and trek out to Bear Creek Lake State Park. With the business cases mostly in the can, we’re prepping for the big in-process review with […]

It’s been another long week, even if the end of this particular project is in sight at work. We’ll get there. But that’s not what I’m going to focus on this morning. What I’m going to talk about is watching one of my favorite things in the world destroy itself in real time. I’m not […]
