• Yankees/Orioles game

    25 Aug 2008 » 1 min read about Reading & Books

    We were up around 8 AM and actually got to laze around for a while this morning. We watched most of Charles Osgood’s Sunday morning show on CBS, which is one Sunday morning program that I enjoy. Around 10:45, Dad and I hopped in the car and headed up to Camden Yards for the Yankees/Orioles…

  • Road trip to Williamsburg

    We took Dad to happy hour last night after work, but overall, it was an early night for us. We were up around 7 AM this morning and were on the road just after 8 AM. It took us about 2-1/2 hours to drive the 149 miles or so to Williamsburg, Virginia. Kelly and I…

    I was trying to be clever and managed to delete most of my data on Good Reads. It’ll be sometime this weekend before I get it all re-imported.

  • It’s the server, stupid!

    22 Aug 2008 » 1 min read about Work & Career

    I killed four hours at work this morning trying to figure out why a report was not working on one of our SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) systems. I googled. I read blogs. I signed up for the free trial of Expert-Exchange. Finally, I pushed the report out to the test server and it worked…

  • Thursday evening

    22 Aug 2008 » 1 min read about Reading & Books

    Dad got into town around 4 PM and got to Pentagon City about an hour and a half later, about the same time I picked Kelly up from work. We all sat around for a while, and then headed back to Pentagon Row for dinner at Sine (where I had a blackened tuna wrap and…

  • Twitter!

    I’ve now got a twitter account. All you Digital Natives out there know what I’m talking about. For everyone else, I wouldn’t worry too much about it.

  • Science fiction harvest

    21 Aug 2008 » 2 min read about Reading & Books

    There are occasionally harvests in science fiction and I love when they arrive. Unlike a traditional harvest, science fiction harvests can arrive at varying times of the year. One arrived today, in the form of four books that I ordered from Amazon just a few days ago. I haven’t been reading much science fiction these…

  • Better night’s sleep

    21 Aug 2008 » 1 min read

    Last night was better. We were in bed around 9:30 PM, I think, and I fell asleep pretty quickly. I was awakened at exactly midnight by the alarm clock. We put a clock on my side last night so I could actually see what time it was when I woke up. Turns out, the alarm…

  • Softball party

    21 Aug 2008 » 2 min read about Work & Career

    Late start today, which I hope to remedy tomorrow. I think part of the problem is that there is no clock in view when I am sleeping, so I just keep sleeping as long as I possibly can. I am much more disciplined when I can see a clock. Busy day at work. I spent…

  • Evening reading

    20 Aug 2008 » 1 min read about Reading & Books

    Home around 4:20 and I did like I said (or tried). I read for a little while before falling asleep on the couch. Before I knew it, I was waking up to the phone. Kelly was on her way home. I picked her up, came back home, and we had dinner while watching the final…
