• Friday night on Saturday morning

    If it wasn’t clear from my perfectly coherent post last night, we did not end up going to the Whitney museum. I left work around 2 PM and was first in line to board the sold-out 3 PM Acela to New York City. I sat in the Quiet Car, as usual. This time, I have…

  • Yankees down 2-1

    07 Oct 2006 » 1 min read about Sports

    The Yankees just lost to Detroit and they are not down 2-1. I feel as thought I should care more, but after 2 Jaeger shots and a tequila shot (not to mention a couple of beers), I really don’t care at the moment. We watched most of the game at Molly’s, a bar nearby where…

    Is it really that hard to arrive on time to a meeting? I don’t know about other organizations, but where I work, the ontime arrival of people to meetings is worse than ontime arrival of flights by the major airlines. I don’t understand it. How hard can it be? The most frequent excuse I am…

  • The heat is on

    06 Oct 2006 » 1 min read about Travel

    I got into the office this morning and the place is like an oven. Yesterday the inside temperature was perfect. Today, it’s boiling. I’m not sure why. It rained most of the night and was still raining when I got up this morning. I took a taxi to the Metro station because you can’t leave…

  • Workout #31 (lower body w/Bernard)

    06 Oct 2006 » 1 min read about Fitness & Health

    When I started my workout, the Yankees were down by one run going into the bottom of the 9th inning. I had to tear myself away from the array of TVs in the gym in order to get started and during the entire workout, I kept wondering if the Yankees managed to win.

  • Mail call

    06 Oct 2006 » 1 min read about Reading & Books

    In this evening’s mail were exactly 3 items of interest and 10 items of junk. I’ve gotten into the routine of sorting through my mail as soon as I get into the house, lest it linger in a coma-like state for all eternity and I miss paying another bill. The junk was weeded out quickly.…

  • Travel crunch

    05 Oct 2006 » 1 min read about Travel

    I found out yesterday that I would have to go to Pittsburgh for work for a day in order to train some people on some software they will be using. (The good news is I have worked with these people before and they are a fun bunch.) The training is going to be on October…

  • Replica watch spam

    05 Oct 2006 » 2 min read

    I rarely check my spam filtered mail at work because I simply don’t care enough. If someone sent me a message that accidentally got caught by my spam filter, I naturally assume it was their fault. (It’s different on my personal email because fewer people have my address and the spam control software is much,…

  • Yankees game rained out

    05 Oct 2006 » 1 min read about Sports

    The good news: I can get to bed at a decent hour tonight. The bad news: I’m going to miss the game tomorrow. I’d work from home if I could but I have to give a presentation at about the exact time the first pitch is being thrown tomorrow.

  • It’s the end of the world as we know it…

    05 Oct 2006 » 4 min read

    Okay, so this whole Mark Foley thing. This is me coming out of my self-induced political coma of the past three years to see that things aren’t any better and aren’t going to get there any time soon. I made a promise to myself to avoid political rants because there no longer of any value.…
