So, good times were had at Thanksgiving, and for the first time in about 4 years, we actually ate really good food. More importantly, we didn't have to worry about there being meat in any of it; which was a nice change. We had Thanksgiving with the mother-in-law, it went well. The rest of the weekend was filled with the kind of fun we've come to ( Read more... )

So Thanksgiving is coming up, and I have to say, as a vegetarian (now), it's a much more interesting holiday. I get people who know I don't eat meat asking if I'll eat turkey. Not quite sure what their thought process is, but it's still amusing to answer, "Nope...I still don't eat meat, even if it is a holiday." Though I have to say, it's gotten ( Read more... )

So, despite having an extra day to finish my midterm, I decided to go ahead and hand it in last night. I feel fairly confident that I did pretty well on it; I certainly had much more there than any of the other people I talked to in class. The nice thing about handing it in early is that it does free up some time...a new feeling given the ( Read more... )

So the wife and I decided to really have fun this weekend. The flu. Yes, you read that right, we came down with the flu on Wednesday, and didn't/wasn't able to leave the house until Sunday. Man, getting that sick in a house with only one bathroom is not a good day. That was an advertisement for having more than one bathroom in your house. So, ( Read more... )

So, again with the sporadic updating, seems to be about all I can fit in these days. Another business trip coming up, let me tell you how much my wife likes these...you know, on second thought, let me just not, and you can imagine it instead ( Read more... )

So the reason that posting has non-existent the last week and a half is that I've been out of town. No, not in a fun manner, on work. Vanderbilt (TN), to UC-Berkeley, then down to UCLA. Yeah, took up a week and a half, with a friend's wedding thrown in there on the weekend, for good measure. It was a good trip, and I enjoyed the people, but man ( Read more... )

...How did I get here? Yeah, that would be an apt description of my weekend ( Read more... )

So for the past 6 months or so the need to run a game has been growing. Of course, I find myself, sadly, short of two things for a game ( Read more... )

Saturday: 9:30am-10:30pm homework. Yeah, 13 straight hours makes for a riveting Saturday, let me tell you. The upside is that after the first 9-10 hours, the guys and I got a bit punchy, and the rest of the time seemed to fly by. Still, not getting home to your wife until 10:45 in the evening is a bit of downer ( Read more... )

So one of my professors in my grad program decided it would be fun to spring a 10 page paper on us last night. Yeah, it's due in a week, the same day as the final, as well as the final group project we're already working on. This is the guy that I've had a hell of a hard time tracking down vie voicemail and e-mail about a few questions I have ( Read more... )
