A pleasant surprise when I got home today: I had in my mailbox the December issues of ASIMOV’S and ANALOG, both in their new size and format. I am particularly looking forward to relaxing to Part II of Robert J. Sawyer’s serial Wake.
Yesterday was the last real crunch day at work. Today and Friday will still be busy, but I think I got through my tough part yesterday. I’ve been working steadily all morning, but the pressure feels somewhat off. Two more days left in the fiscal year, and we may actually meet our project goal. Kelly and I worked…
Long day yesterday. I took an hour at lunch when I worked on my workshop story. Then I went back to work. I worked until 6 PM. I met Kelly at the mall and we headed home. She had her second and final fitting of the wedding dress last night, so she and Sarah left around 6:30. I…
I did just over 1,200 words at lunch today, bringing my workshop story to 6,500 words. The scene I wrote today, however, will likely replace a few shorter scenes so I don’t know what the actual total will be. I still plan on getting some more writing done later this evening, but I’m pretty happy with what…
I came in this morning with the intention of making four solid hours of progress on some very specific tasks, and I was successful. I just wrapped up that phase of my day, and it looks like I can actually take a lunch break today. However, I can spent that break writing since I already ate my lunch. I had…
Back to work today and it was a busy day. I worked straight through again, without a break (I packed my lunch and ate while I worked), and I even took my laptop home to do work this evening. To relax this evening, I watched the first two episodes of the new HBO series, True Blood. I’m normally not…
I’ve still got catching up to do from the weekend, but work is incredibly busy at the moment, so I likely won’t get to the back-posts until tonight. The trip to NJ and NY was great, as was my last game at Yankee stadium. I’ll have more to say later.
What with work, and the wedding plans, things have been rather hectic for the last few months. But this weekend was a relaxing break from all of that. We didn’t have to do any wedding-related stuff. We didn’t have to to think about work. It was peaceful and pleasant. Kelly’s home town is like that.…
Yesterday evening (as I mentioned), Kelly and I headed up to New Jersey with Sarah and Jim. It was a pleasant drive with almost no traffic, except for a bit outside of Philadelphia. We got in pretty late, and within minutes of getting out of the car, I saw two shooting stars and one satellite. It was…
We are on our way to NJ and currently sitting in heavy traffic at 10:20 pm in Philly. Go figure. Another busy work day today. I worked 7 straight hours before I took a breath. But I made progress so I guess that’s good. This evening, I got more work done on the workshop story.…
