  • I don’t need your civil war

    [Posted on Monday, October 22] Today, Kelly and I went up to Gettysburg with AJ and Denisse. We picked AJ and Denisse up from the P.G. Plaza metro station at about 10:30 AM and hit the road. The drive to Gettysburg took us about 90 minutes and it was a lot of fun. We passed…

  • Tedious!

    I spent 4 hours at work this morning doing some painstaking, manual database edits to fix and issue that couldn’t be otherwise scripted or automated because I couldn’t think of a way of programming a script that would be able to make intelligent decisions. Where are these fancy AI systems that we’ve been promised for…

    Yes, events as in plural. This was a long Friday night for an old feller like me, but a fun one. It began around 5 PM. Trevor was back in town for the weekend, visiting, and he came into the office on Friday. After work, a bunch of us headed over to Champps for a…

    Saturday was a fun day. With clear skies and mild temperatures, Kelly and I drove out to Harper’s Ferry, West Virginia. I was there once before but I got to see a little bit more of it this time. The town is about 70 miles away and we had a pleasant drive out there. I…

  • Annapolis

    Spent much of the afternoon today in Annapolis with Kelly. You couldn’t have asked for better weather. Sunny, not a cloud in the sky, with a nice breeze in the warm air. We wandered the streets of Annapolis, popping in and out of shops, watching boats on the water, eating ice cream and drinking grape…

  • If you pee standing up…?

    Those of you with little kids will probably get an extra special kick out of the logic behind Ken Jenning’s son’s question that Ken posted on his blog today. It’s very Michael Scott-esque.

  • New Year’s 2006

    01 Jan 2006 » 2 min read about Personal & Family

    Another new year! I caught the Times Square action on ABC last night, just as the ball was falling. I didn’t see Dick Clark at all, but he was narrating. It was clear that the stroke he had affected his speech to a minor extent. I only stayed tuned in for a few minutes. I…
