I was placing an order for some office supplies through work today. We’ve recently switched supply companies and I had to get a new account with which to place the order. As part of the process, you are prompted to put in a password, and then, as many places do today, you are prompted to…
I had sushi for the first time in my life, finally overcoming the fear that raw fish might somehow make me sick. I went to Annapolis, to a place on Main Street called Joss Cafe and Sushi Bar. I had a salmon roll and a California roll with crab. Both were very good. I also…
I had a dream last night that I tried out and made the football team at Kennedy High School, in Granada Hills, California. There were three oddities about the dream of note: 1. I hate football. 2. I was nervous because I didn’t know how to put all of the padding on. 3. This guy…
I spent a good portion of the day today cleaning house. I vacuumed, dusted, swept, mopped, scrubbed, you name it. I even cleaned the inside and outside of all of the windows. Today was also the first warm and humid day of the year, reaching well into the 80s with humidity to boot. It was…
Just dozing off here, and thought I would take a moment to note that this is my 500th live journal entry since January 1, 2006. That was 146 days ago and that means that on average, I am posting about 3-1/2 entries per day.

This weekend, I’ll have company for the long Memorial Day weekend. 2. The following weekend (June 2-4), Dad will be in town for the Orioles/Yankees game. 3. June 8-12…
I rarely talk about work, and specifically what I do there, but I have recently been working on a small, but interesting project that I think is worthy of description. It’s a project resource tool. You see, we have numerous project managers for the endless list of projects that have to be managed. Naturally, there…
I tried an experiment this afternoon when I cut the grass. Normally, I fill up the mower with gas before I cut the yard, but I wanted to see just how far I could go without filling up. (Also, I was feeling lazy and did not want to go back out to the gas station…
When I got back to the Metro station this evening, I was relieved to see that I did not leave my car lights on. They were off and I got home just fine.
