So I had a really interesting experience Monday night. I think I was hallucinating. Some definitions of hallucination seem to imply its only visual. I disagree, and luckily have found much better definitions that cover all of the senses. Heres one:

Here we go a wassailing
I have very fond memories of caroling as a child. We had these ancient hand typed cheat sheets that were packaged with our Christmas decorations. They would come out every year for general singing, but were also used as we walked around with our family and friends going door to door holding candles.

You feel like running, but life is on a stroll
Last night I completed Gears of Wars 2 (Xbox 360). I had picked the game up sometime last week, but Ive been pretty diligent about playing nightly until I completed the single player campaign (Normal Mode).

In case youre wondering, I renewed my membership today.

Last night I started choking on a piece of Kielbasa. My son sat on the floor next to me going Dad, what are you doing? as I proceeded to choke and see stars and fall to my knees.
Of course I did the exact *wrong* thing, and put my fingers into my throat and attempted to dislodge the damn thing. I was successful, but only because it was actually ( Read more... ) -

Sleepless in Downey
Alot has happened in the last month since my update. After giving my notice at work, I spent the next two weeks up to my eyebrows in 'last minutes' to get done before I left. This included things like site tours, documentation, purchases and installations.. We also interviewed several IT consulting companies who we felt could be used to fill in ( Read more... ) -

Well today was the day. After being with my current company for 12 years, I've given my two weeks notice.
While woodwindy was wondering if we were moving to her neck of the woods, we're not. We're staying where we are, *but* I will be working in Philadelphia, so I guess that's technically close ( Read more... )
