It’s quite possible I’m the only idiot in the organization actually working today, given the date on the calendar. I say “working”, though it’s rather difficult to actually accomplish much of anything when the enterprise email system keeps throwing up random code errors instead of my inbox, and I require certain information from people before […]

My last couple of posts read as pretty dire, don’t they? It kind of makes sense; these are dire times. I did indeed get out in the woods a couple of times since the last post; a nice hike along the river, and a refreshing 10 mile bike ride on Friday afternoon. Thursday’s hike was […]

That title up there kind of says it all about where the hell the mid-Atlantic is right now. As I write this, it hasn’t hit us yet, but I expect we’ll get something; not much, of course (at least to my grew-up-in-the-northeast perspective), but two inches is enough to shut this metropolitan area down. I’m […]

Marscon is, without question, always a great time for me. It’s a chance to see friends, make music, and try to shake off the stresses of mundane life for the weekend. This year was no different, though moreso than in other years, it was definitely a working vacation, with me playing seven(!) shows, in several […]

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 […]

In my usual scanning of the headlines and news aggregators today, my attention was drawn to a story from the land of my youth, Northeastern Pennsylvania (reported by venerable and often delightfully quirky and local WNEP) about schools in Luzerne County threatening to call CPS/Foster care on families with overdue lunch money bills. As comments […]

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 […]

You young whipper-snappers might be all about your Timberlake memes and whatnot, but some of us remember the O.G.: Happy May Day, folks!

Given the general uncertainty about projects, along with a great number of folks in my work circles on the road for a bit industry conference down in Florida, my time in the office was slow in terms of actual PM work. I dumped a bunch of time into knocking out some online training prerequisites for […]

It’s Thursday. I could never get the hang of Thursdays. That’s okay this week, because today is actually my Friday, as I’m taking tomorrow off to spend with the family (including the kid who has been home from college this week), catching a matinee of Captain Marvel, and working setup for the feis this weekend, […]
