• The sad dream

    14 May 2008 » 1 min read

    I had a bitterly sad dream last night. I’m sure I know the cause of it: I watched Randy Pausch’s “Time Management” lecture yesterday, and I’m certain that his circumstances contributed to the dream. In the dream, the Norm half of vickyandnorm had been diagnosed with a terminal disease and in the strange, dream-like fashion…

  • After the rains

    14 May 2008 » 1 min read

    It stopped raining yesterday and today was bright and sunny with temperatures in the 70s. I was up at 4:20 but didn’t make it into the gym today. While I slept better last night, it was still not great. I’d planned to go to the gym after work, but when our first softball practice was…

  • Catching up on science

    14 May 2008 » 3 min read

    I’m three months behind on my SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN reading, but that’s not really news, it’s status quo these days. On the train ride home this afternoon, I tried to correct that, working back from most recent with the May 2008 issue. A few items to note: Page 36 has an in memorium for Sir Arthur…

  • The rain it raineth every day

    13 May 2008 » 1 min read

    I heard we’d received about 6 inches of rain since yesterday afternoon. It wouldn’t surprise me. It rained heavily for what seemed to be more than 24 hours and yards on the south side of my street, closer the the railroad tracks, are flooded. It’s not raining now. Didn’t really sleep last night–second night in…

  • Lazy, rainy Sunday

    12 May 2008 » 1 min read

    I didn’t want to get out of bed this morning. I was very comfortable and wanted to sleep in some. I guess I did sleep in a little bit. I think I finally got up around 8:30 AM. Kelly and I had breakfast and finished up some laundry, and then we headed out to do…

  • Friday evening

    Kelly met me after work Friday at the Pentagon City Mall. We headed over to Champs to have a beer with Todd. We then had some errands to run before meeting AJ and Denisse for dinner. We decided to go over to Lebanese Taverna for dinner, and we ended up having a great meal. We…

  • Friday cardio workout

    09 May 2008 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    I didn’t get to the gym this morning; instead I did some extra work. But I didn’t skip either. I headed to the gym at 4 PM and did 30 minutes of cardio. I pushed a little harder. My heart rate is still way up, but once I settle in it should come back down…

    Got to sleep in a little this morning because I was at Kelly’s last night, and she lives so close to work that we can leave much later. That’s always nice. I actually slept really well last night. It was warm, but not hot, and with the storms coming in, there was a nice breeze…
