    28 Aug 2008 » 1 min read

    I came across this list today. Of the ten places, I’ve only eaten at one of them,Cantler’s near Annapolis, Maryland. I did eat in Naples, Italy, but never tried the pizza. Why isn’t In-n-Out on the list?

    Ever have one of those days where you’ve got so much to do, you end up in an endless-loop just trying to figure out where to start? Today is one of those days. Maybe it’s the rain.

  • Hump-day

    28 Aug 2008 » 1 min read about Reading & Books

    Busy day at the office today. At one point during the day, I think I was doing 5 things at once. I was in a phone meeting, eating a sandwich, replying to an urgent email, participating in a IM meeting, and jotting notes on my whiteboard, all more or less at the same time. A…

  • Workshopping and working

    27 Aug 2008 » 1 min read about Reading & Books

    Up at 6:30 after a good night’s sleep and into the office a little while later. It wasn’t a terribly busy day at the office, but there was still stuff to do. I did 5 of 6 workshop critiques that came in today. The sixth one came in late this evening and I won’t get…

  • Peace!

    25 Aug 2008 » 1 min read

    We love having visitors, but we’ve had visitors every weekend since moving. Couple that with the move itself, the tasks to do afterward, and wedding plans, and I think both Kelly and I are exhausted at this point. Fortunately, next weekend is Labor Day weekend. It’s a three-day weekend for me and a four-day weekend…

  • Rejections and short-lists

    25 Aug 2008 » 1 min read

    Yesterday, I got finally got a brief rejection note from Strange Horizons for “The Golden Watch”. It took 49 days from start to finish and that is nearly twice as long as any other story I’ve sent them. I’d like to think it meant I got farther along in the process, but the one-sentence message…

    Took Dad to the airport this morning before coming into work. He was on the same flight as Mom last week. Next time we’ll see them is when they come out in about 6-1/2 weeks for the wedding.
