Work went very well on friday. Significant progress was achieved, and a couple of milestones were met, and projects closed. It was the end of the first month back on the project, with a new crew. On monday there will be a new set of milestones and additional challenges. We have managed to accomplish in 1 month, what had not been accomplished by ( Read more... )

I went up to Robbie's and walked again. He is feeling better, he kept up with me today. I pushed a bit harder than I could have maintained, which is good. Mostly what is good is that I was aware of how hard I was pushing, and I was pacing myself to be done when I was done.

Hmm...,you would think that having a portable computer and wifi access would encourage me to post more in my LJ. I have been doing a LOT more writing. It is the sort of writing for which I bought the computer in the first place, project notes, designs, and little bits of coding. All in all I guess that is a good thing.

My kids bought the DVD a while back and I watched the movie because they had it in my other computer while I was working. (Ok, so I didn't get much work done after about 2 minutes into the movie, but, hey, it was not my idea to buy the movie, or to watch it) After seeing it though, I thought it was pretty good. I happen to think there is a ( Read more... )

I bought a new Powerbook yesterday, and I am writing this entry on it today. I was kind of annoyed that when I turned it on for the first time, it made lots of noise and flashed stuff on the screen for 30 seconds. It took over a minute to finish it's intro before it brought up the ...you will tell us who you are before we let you use your ( Read more... )

Most thursdays for the past 6 months, I have been exercising. No other particular changes in diet and no other regular exercise. The exercise consists only of walking, up and back down a hill. 150 yards of horizontal and 40 feet of vertical, all in one fairly even slope, no stairs, no particularly steep sections, just a natural slope up the side ( Read more... )

I read a good book over the last couple of days, David Allen's "Getting Things Done". It was recommended by Elfs and commented on favorably by several other folks in his journal. Having read the whole book in two days and NOT following any of the "do this now..." instructions in the book, I feel better already ( Read more... )

Well, last night's party was a fun little gathering. Over half the folks who were likely to show up, didn't. And the folks who did show up, had a good time. Food for 30 planned, and 15 people show up ( Read more... )

I made some new years resolutions. I think it is a tradition that I was introduced to when I was about four or five, as far back as I can remember new years's anyway. So, as usual, I made some this year. Part of the tradition, as I was introduced to it, is that you look at last years new years resolutions, and see how you did (or didn't) and ( Read more... )

It seems one of my son's friends has had a long time interest in walking across the golden gate bridge. Somehow, I allowed myself to be talked into chaparoning this trip. Which means, I will be joining them on the walk. The bridge itself is only about a mile and a half, but from where you can part, it is another 3/4 of a mile to get to the ( Read more... )
