When I got home from work this evening, I had a package from Dan and Megan. It turned out to be the 50th Anniversary: A Musical History of Disneyland, a 6 CD collection and coffee table book. What a cool present! Thanks Dan and Megan. How can you listen to the Main Street Electrical Parade…
Another indication of middle age is the ability to write the sentence: Did you happen to attend Junior High Scool at Porter Junior High from 1985-1987–roughly twenty years ago? On Sunday, evening, I was browsing online, and did some searches for some old friends with whom I’ve lost contact. Normally, I don’t come up with…
…Crossing the Potomic river on the train in the early morning, you see the Georgetown crew team on the water, rowing back to school.
I’m just about 1,000 pages through Gotham moving into the final stretch. I think I can finish it by the time I go to bed on Friday. I think I can, I think I can…
I’m adjusting my wake-up time on “school” nights beginning tomorrow morning. Instead of 6 AM, I’m getting up 20 minutes earlier. This is so that I can have breakfast at home, rather than take it into work with me. I can’t stand plain oatmeal, and if forced to eat it, knowing that it would save…

War Stories by Joe Haleman arrived today, making it the 998th 999th book in my collection. Two One more to go before I hit 1,000! UPDATE: I discovered a book on myself my shelf last night that had not been entered into my database. This is why the numbers changed from 998 books to 999…
Turning 34 is definitely the transition to middle age. I had my physical today. The doctors (who were recommended to me by Rich) were great. I met both Dr. Ken and Dr. Laura (husband and wife team) and Ken spent nearly an hour with me, getting a history, doing the exam, drawing blood, talking about…
Well, I’m 34 years old today. When I woke up this morning, I completely forgot that it was my birthday and the only reason I remembered is because I’m working from home today. I have a doctor’s appointment this afternoon in Silver Spring and it was easier to work from home then to head all…
