Warning: contains promotional content! It has been, as they say, another week. And, looking back, a hell of a year. This time last year, things were just starting to get weird as the first cases of COVID-19 started popping up around these parts, leading to, well…you know. With the vaccines starting to work their way […]

I was hoping this was going to be a better week than the last, really I was. It rather wasn’t, especially Wednesday. A couple of weeks back, I misread a couple of cells on a spreadsheet cost estimate, leading to me entering the wrong number in another cell of another spreadsheet for a data call. […]

Another weekend, another ice storm in the forecast. Joy. Looking at the most recent maps, I’m hopeful that it won’t be terrible in this corner of the world, I’m also kind of bracing for the worst…again. Sure, we were only out 36 hours last weekend, though when reviewing history, two weeks out is not an […]

It’s Friday. About damned time. I’ll be honest, it’s been a heavy week. Accomplished quite a bit, and maybe drank a little too much, but all with an unmistakable air of frustration and bleh. Finally got the lawn guys mostly sorted, and my property is mostly clear of crap before the snowstorm. That effort was […]

This week’s been a strange one. The weather’s been bizarre; swinging from three inches of snow to start the week to hitting damned near 70° yesterday afternoon (and making for a wonderful day to *finally* get out for a brisk three mile hike). It’s raining this morning, which I should have expected, since after some […]

After writing a whole bunch of paragraphs about how I’m seriously struggling with what I suspect is the second occurrence of the

So, given the last ten days or so in Washington, we’re in all kinds of uncharted territory. While the former civics/history teacher in me is fascinated, the concerned citizen in me is, well, concerned, and not in a Susan Collins way. While I am absolutely in favor of impeachment here, because there have to be […]

That thing they say about interesting times? These might be some. That said, I’ve blathered on enough about politics and Constitutional interpretation for this week; if something happens, it happens, but that’s not what this particular utterance into the void is going to be about. Let’s get dull. This week, on the micro/household scale has […]

Today is my last scheduled day of work for 2020. I’ve tied up everything I need to apart from one email response from one individual, who’s reply need only consist of “thumbs up*” for me to close the book on this particular item and feel like I’m keeping the project on track. Also, my body […]
