So I finally had my woah moment from work last night. I've been hearing about how insanely connected politically my co-workers are since the day I started this job. All of them were heavily involved in the gubenatorial campaign. So last night, as I'm flipping channels searching for decent campaign coverage, who do I see but one of the guys I work ( Read more... )

So I survived my foray into Texas. In fact, I quite enjoyed it. Austin is a rocking town. So clean, so polite, so very proper until you get to 6th St., and then it's like every commercial you've ever seen for Girls Gone Wild. There were more bars on 6th St. than I think there are in all of Dublin. I went out drinking with a co-worker (a 50 ( Read more... )

Homecoming was a blast. Mike and I drove to Connecticut Thursday night, and then we took two cars (with Lexi) and drove to Vermont, stopping at the Harpoon Brewery on the way, where I had the greatest pickle ever. In fact it was so good that I made Mike take a picture of it for me. For details, ask Mike. We then proceeded to SMC, where we wandered ( Read more... )

I can feel it every time I step out of my house. I smell it in the air. I see it in the sky at night. The days grow shorter, almost by leaps and bounds it seems. The windows that stayed open through the last days of summer are shut now, and the sounds of crickets at night is replaced by the gentle rustling of the leaves as the life drains from them ( Read more... )

So I'm at the post office today, mailing a bunch of crap for work (by land, sea, air, phone, fax, e-mail or U.S. postal service, we will get you to hate the death penalty, if for no other reason than to get us to stop annoying you) and my cell phone rings. Since I use this phone for work, I of course answer. What people don't get is that I'm not a ( Read more... )

I have no desire to work today. None. Nadda. Zip. Mostly this is because I was out late in Princeton last night for work, I was up early for one of the mind numbingly irrelevant and boring conference calls this morning and I have to be at a Life Issues conference in Metuchen tomorrow morning at the ass crack of dawn. This does not in any way shape ( Read more... )

The Red Sox got swept. I can't believe it. They didn't even put up a fight. We sat on top of the A.L. East for most of the season, only to hit a downward spiral at the end of September to tie the Yankees, but lost the division title because they beat us head to head one more time. And then we got swept out of the post-season. It was pathetic ( Read more... )

I'm not really into these things, but I'm curious, so here goes...

If you read this, even if we do not speak often, comment with one memory of me. It can be anything you want, good or bad. Just as long as it happened. Then post this on your livejournal to see what other people remember about you...

And the Red Sox took the Wild Card! Here we go again folks, let's bring another trophy back to Boston!
