Perhaps there is already a name for this phenomenon, but if so, I am not aware of it. Suppose there is a special event that takes place, birthday, anniversary, etc. Suppose it take place on the nth day of the month. When the anniversary of the event is on the nth year, it should be…
Just wanted to wish a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the Vicky half of vickyandnorm. I hope you have a great (comfortable) birthday. Well done! Take two episodes of CSI Miami out of petty cash.
We had a busy day on Saturday and a less busy day on Sunday. We were up early on Saturday. We were supposed to go to Annapolis with AJ and Dennise, but I had a message from them in the morning saying that they wouldn’t be able to go. First order of business was getting…
We attended our first happy hour in quite some time last night. We headed over to Crystal City Sports Pub and hung out with about 10 people from work. Happy hour beers were only $2.25, and appetizers were half price. Kelly and I hung out with the group for about 3 hours before deciding that…

Todd McCombs is a tall, lankly fellow who typically stands a head taller than those around him. He, along with his brother Scott, make up the eclectic rock band, The Shimshaws, who recently released their sophomore album, Ear to the Wire. Just as Todd stands taller than most of his peers, Ear to the Wire…
I did my workout a little early yesterday, 11 AM, because of lunchtime meetings. I did about 1/2 a full workout primarily because I started to feel light-headed during the second group and didn't want to push things. I was hard-pressed to understand why I was light-headed, but I think it was because of the…
