Apparently, we have entered a phenomenon known as March Madness, as evidence by the seemingly dozens of college basketball games on in the bar last night during happy hour. People really get into this March Madness. There are these “bracket” boards all over the place and people try to guess who will end up as…
The meeting for which I have been preparing for the last two days is now over and it went pretty well. I demonstrated the updated application prototype and there were even a few oohs! and ahhs! which is always nice. This essentially means that I am done for the day (and the week), but I…
When I finally got home from work last night, my new Rosetta Stone software was there waiting for me and I was eager to try it out. I got it installed and completed the entire first lesson, which took about 45 minutes. In fact, when I took the test, I only missed one question and…
I knew I was going to be busy today before I even entered the building. I have a meeting tomorrow at which a prototype application needs to be demonstrated and the functionality that was promised in the demonstration wasn’t developed yet. My goal for today was to knock most of that off. I set my…
My first full workout since Saturday! I had my workout with Bernard this afternoon and to mix it up a bit, I decided to do an arms and shoulders workout (I’ll do lower body this Saturday and then switch back to normal routine).
I received my “tax planner” in the mail today from my new tax person and it is something like 12 pages long. I’ll carve some time out over the weekend to fill out the tax planner and mail it back next week. It’s always a struggle starting with a new tax person. I’d used my…
I got home before 5 PM this evening. It hit 81 degrees here today and while it looks like it’s going to rain later (the year’s first thunderstorms?), I have the windows and door wide open and am basking in this early, pleasant spring-like weather. It’s supposed to grow cold again toward the weekend, but…
Holy cow! It felt good to get back into the gym and do a workout. Because I’ve been sick, I haven’t been to the gym since Saturday and aside from feeling guilty, I was beginning to feel like I was losing my good habits. I didn’t do a full workout today, as I’m not 100%…
I’m finally back in the office today and I have a lot of catching up to do. I didn’t go to the gym this morning, in order to get a little extra rest last night, but I plan on going at noon today. I’ve got a list of things that I’d like to have done…
While it is not officially spring yet, it might as well be spring here in the metropolitan Washington, D.C. area. The temperature is going up to 70 degrees today and going up even higher to 75 tomorrow! The first bud are appearing on some neighborhood trees (not mine). It feels like spring out! If I…
