It was a week. Not much more, not much less. I honestly don’t remember much of it…between work, exercise, eating something or other, getting this tune stuck in my head thanks to the ice skating class across the way, the entertainment highlight that was Moon Knight, struggling with the dense text of the novel I’m […]

As per usual, these four day weeks are always busier than the usual five day package. Just seems like all the meetings and briefings and problems rear their heads at the office, along with more-intense-than-usual drama elsewhere. If the world cooperates, I’ll likely knock off a little early, though the world hasn’t cooperated so far, […]

As mentioned previously, this weekend is Marscon, and given that, I’m doing my usual Friday post on Thursday in order to get it out of the way, because I’ll have things to do tomorrow; even if I did take a long weekend, which I damned well deserved. Definitely deserved it because this has been one […]

Not a whole lot of note to report regarding the week; it just sort of was. Couple of things of note, however… Woke up this morning to the encouraging headline that both houses of Congress have passed the omnibus spending bill six months into the fiscal year, so we won’t have to deal with continuing […]

Let’s start the weekend off with a literary reference, huh? The past week was, to paraphrase Dickens, the best and worst of times. On the good side, I made a whole lot of progress on projects at work, and after more than a year in, the way my work group is organized is finally starting […]

One highlight of this week’s adventures in mid-Atlantic suburban pandemic life is captured above. Thanks to a

Yeah, maybe just a little overwhelmed this week, not unlike every other recent week, frankly, but…yeah. Lots of stuff at work, too many damned meetings, briefings, process changes, paperwork, email threads, and…etc. Stuff at home as well – too many bodies in a small space, a huge decluttering project which I truly appreciate, though the […]

I’ll be honest, I’m pretty damned exhausted. It’s been a long week. Pretty much every work day has clocked in at well over the standard eight hours; I’ve been plugged into online meetings for most of those hours, and the rest has been full of documentation, deployment planning for an upcoming major system upgrade, test […]

…different week. Work hassles, crap weather. Wrote a few songs though. For the weekend? Delay-blast birthday celebration for the lovely spouse. Laundry. This week’s tunes? Much alternative. “Motorcrash” – The Sugarcubes “Starry Eyes” – The Records “Just Like Heaven” – The Cure “The Greatest” – SASAMI “Do Me A Favour” – Field Music “Sabbath Bloody […]

On Wednesday evening, I was driving my lovely spouse and youngest child back from a recreational activity involving frozen water, and my head started throbbing. Started in the sinuses, and progressed from there; lights of oncoming cars appearing extra intense, noise starting to bother me, all that crap. We made it home, I took my […]
