half-step behind
Felt yesterday that I’d been lagging a little behind the curve on most things. Even though I’m objectively ahead of the game at work, with all my projects in their proper places with time to spare, so it’s not necessary for me to participate in the current crazy sprint to get things lined up for […]
friday random elevenish: “juneteenth (observed)” edition
It’s been a relatively quiet week (at work, anyway), capped off by a welcome surprise day off thanks to the Federal Government (including unanimous consent in this Senate!) making tomorrow, Juneteenth, a national federal holiday, which, frankly, is long overdue (now, let’s just pass *any* of the election reform laws floating around DC right now, […]
promo: filk quest
Last night I sat down (virtually) with my good friend Frank Parker of the Nefarious Filk Ferrets for an hour or so as a guest on his Filk Quest streaming show; talking music, influences and community in our little corner of the music/fandom world. I also played a few tunes during the course of our […]
recurrence side effects may include vexation
In an *interesting* development, ten days after getting my second dose of the Pfizer shot, Monday night I got hit with a repeat performance of those wonderful side effects.

I can’t say this will be everyone’s experience, but for me, the exhaustion and “wiped out” feeling hit hard right around […]
friday random elevenish: “not throwin’ away my…” edition
Another Friday, another long week. A week full of sinus pressure, problematic bureaucracy, and senior executive briefings, framed by crappy weather that kept me off the bike most of the week. However, it’s Friday, and at this point, it’s looking like it’ll be a quiet one. I’ve moved my projects along to the point where […]
thursday random elevenish: “updating from tuesday?” edition
As alluded to earlier this week, the weather’s been rather awful, and it’s been keeping me from my primary source of stress relief; getting outside and riding the bike. The severe weather warnings have been coming in most of the week for the mid-Atlantic/Southeast, talk of 40-60 mph winds and tennis ball hail, which, y’know, […]
