The last week was mostly spent in preparation for the weekend.  Extra work, extra time, lots of other little doo-dads to make sure I could escape relatively scot-free for four days.  And then the time came to go get the gruesome two-some from the airport, and the fun began.  I will regale those who ask with a full recount of the events, however for ( Read more... )

Well it's been a week so I suppose it's 'bout that time again...

Officially, there is nothing new to report.  It's been a pretty bland week, between working, writing, working, meetings, working, et cetera.  Actually, it's been pretty conspicuous in it's inconspicuousness.  Had one of my patented date/non-dates with Samantha, whose life seems to ( Read more... )

Consider this a mixed bag of all kinds of things.  After all it is Monday morning, the office is mostly empty, and I'm feeling good from this weekend, mostly.

Friday and Saturday were spent in Tampa-St. Pete shopping and beachcombing and taking in fine food and sleeping in my car and, oh yeah, Rays baseball...  The offense really turned it on both ( Read more... )

Mornings like this I just want to crawl back in between the sheets.  Wait, I sleep on a couch so scratch that.

I suppose a small update is in order since I have been up to a million things.

Last weekend consisted of driving to North Carolina.  Because I felt like it.  I really just felt like driving around somewhere and, as I have done countless ( Read more... )

The following is a small rant session.  Please excuse the cynical tone, the lack of eloquent presentation, and the occasional USE OF CAPS.

What a day.  Here are a few highlights to give you a more complete picture.

No, Curt, I did not stop by Berkeley's and pick you up taffy, nor did I stop at Sapienza's for cookies on my recent journey to BURY MY ( Read more... )

For crying out loud people, no, I did not write this.  The real shame is that the author's book sucked rocks.  Evidently he should have stuck with the witty 33-liners.

The Voice of Reason's Minor List of Life's Little Accomplishments

I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my ( Read more... )

I really have nothing to say of import to anyone, save the fact that I am still breathing (through the same disease-ridden sacks).

I left Vero having done all I could do this weekend, including but not limited to: packing up the collection of 1959-present STUFF into boxes to be shipped to Charleston and otherwise into a PODS box; cleaning of house ( Read more... )

Pops,

I'm sorry you couldn't stick around to see all of your dreams come true.  Like legitimate great-grandchildren, my getting a PhD, and the Dodgers coming back to Brooklyn.  What I am glad for, however, are the 29 years I had you to guide me and mold me into something this family (what's left of it) can be proud of.  It meant the world to me that ( Read more... )

Minor update as I have nothing better to do at the moment.

Had vast change of plans yesterday.  First, the show in ATL was pretty good, but since it was a Thursday night the crowd was lighter than I had expected.  Granted I am not much of Paul van Dyk fan to begin with, but his live stuff is almost universally better than what gets thrown down on ( Read more... )

Just a quick note before I get out of here.  I will be available by phone for most of the weekend should your life demand my attention.

Weekend starts today if you're me, as I'm here only about two hours and then I start the party...

By the way, doesn't it suck to have to drive 100 miles to work two hours?  Anyway...

The plan for the weekend:  ( Read more... )
