Took a sick day today because of a bad night of allergies and arm aches, which led to antihistamines and pain-killers. I’ve put myself on the DL for our game next Wednesday as I think I need to give my arm some rest. I made as good use of the day as I could, considering…
I head up to Boston for Readercon early Friday morning. Alas, I am only able to stay through early Saturday evening. Given my short stay, here is my tentative schedule of events that I am hoping to attend while there. Friday 11:00: Science Fiction as a Mirror for Reality 13:00: -Esque No More: Transcending Your…
We have a road-trip planned to Yankee stadium this September. Thanks to the efforts of Sarah, four of us have tickets to the Orioles/Yankees game on Saturday, September 20 at Yankee stadium, the last time we will get to go to the old ball park. We are planning on making a road-trip weekend of it…
More progress on move and wedding stuff yesterday: Moving progress We went over to the new place last night and paid the pet deposit and pro-rated rent for July. We also requested to get the keys a day early so we get them on Friday, July 25, which means we can get an earlier start…

Due to my lack of Internet access until the 28th (or so), I made two backdated posts (here and here) for this weekend. For those of you who typically follow along on your Friends page, you’ll have to view these posts from the links above.
Kelly was meeting with Sarah and some of Sarah’s family to go up to Baltimore and pick out flowers for the wedding. We were up early and, after getting rid of an old carpet in her bedroom, both headed out at around 10:30, she to go to Baltimore, and I to go home. I spent…
I was up at 7 AM and headed over to Saturn to have my car serviced. It believe it was my 117,000 mile maintenance. A while back I received a $500 gift card from Saturn. Each time I use it, I can get 15% off parts and labor on service and so this time the…
When I came home today, my Internet access wasn’t working. There was a single blinking light on the cable modem. Cable TV was fine. I did some basic troubleshooting and decided it was hardware but called Comcast anyway. The customer service person I spoke to agreed it was hardware. She suggested I bring in my…
