Well, it’s the middle of the 4th inning with the National League winning 2-1. Unfortunately, I’m not going to be able to stay up for the whole game. I’ve had a pretty bad allergy attack this afternoon and this evening, I’ve been loading up on antihistamines. They are just barely beginning to kick in but…
I just finished going through the first 7,800 words of “Graveyard Shift” tightening it up a bit, making some correction, and looking for loose ends. And you know what. So far, it reads pretty well I think, and it moves pretty quickly. The novella presently stands at 16,300 words. There are at least three more…
How often does this happen: I was sitting at work, minding my own business, when someone sent a question to one of our aliases, asking if anyone knew about a commerical where a bunch of people are in a boardroom, saying, “We’ve got to be more nimble. How would so-and-so do it?” They knew nothing…
This morning, I was in “the zone”. I had a very specific set of tasks I wanted to complete, and with some focus, I completed them! These included finishing off design documents for a .NET project I am managing, as well as fixing a problem with the installation of some .NET libraries on my work…
We were playing short one player so we had to take an automatic out each time that slot came up. Naturally, that was a liability we couldn’t afford. Overall we played well, with several 1-2-3 innings and a couple of good plays, but we couldn’t get offensive rally’s going with the automatic out.

Just a word of congratulations to Norm and Vicky (a.k.a. vickyandnorm)on their very recent engagement this past weekend. Norm proposed to Vicky at the end of the grand finale of a fireworks display they’d gone to watch in Connecticut. Talk about seeing stars! I talked to both of them shortly thereafter and they both sounded…
Well, I’ve done it. After 4 years of not belonging to a gym and 4 years of no regular workouts, I am once again a member of Bally’s Total Fitness. There is a great Bally’s gym right here where I work, and another brand new one at the Metro station by my house so I…
Today is my parent’s 39th wedding anniversary–or as I like to call it, their “Jack Benny” anniversary. It’s funny, really, how people never want to share their age, once they are older than, say, 39 years; and yet these same people are so proud of how many years they have been married. Next year is…
