I completed the first draft of a new short-short science fiction story, “Blind Date”. The idea for this story was inspired by Lisa’s forgetting to pick me up for the kickball game this past Sunday. It’s nothing spectacular, but it amuses me. The premise couldn’t possibly hold for very long, so the story runs about…
It was fun. I ended up playing in the “veterans” game and Lisa and I were on the same team. Joel was there too and he was on the other team. I went 1 for 3 (my first “at bat” got a base hit) and played second base the entire game. I made 3 outs:…
Another day full of Crystal Reports training classes, which are going very well. We start on the next class tomorrow, and tomorrow, it’s just Rita, Pam, and myself that are in the class. When I got into work (at 6:30 AM) email still was not working for Washington folks, but by the end of the…
Lisa invited me to play in a pickup game of softball this evening in Venice so I’m getting ready. By getting ready, I mean stretching, particularly my left quad. Don’t want to tear it again. I haven’t played kickball since 6th grade so it should be fun.
It’s 3:55 AM here in Santa Monica and for the third night in a row I have had a series of crazy and bizarre dreams. Maybe it’s something in the water here. At this point, however, I am nearly wide awake and I’m not sure it would be worth it to try going back to…
I’ve just spend the last 30 minutes or so reading through the most recent posts to LiveJournal to see what random people write in their blogs. It was a depressing 30 minutes. Keep in mind that my blog is a replacement for a diary that I have kept for nearly 10 years now. My diary…
Long day today, and another night filled with crazy and intense dreams. I couldn’t remember the dream I had last night until dinner this evening when something Jim said triggered a memory of what the dream was about. Today was the first day of the Crystal Reports training class and I think it went very…
I have to ask: why is it that the floor beneath every urinal in the men’s room appears moist? Come on, guys, is it really that difficult? I mean, it’s not like you started this yesterday!
There is not much to do here at this hotel and I was just tired and lazy enough to not want to go out and do anything either after work today. And so I find myself in one of those moods where I just don’t know what to do with myself. I watched an episode…
It’s been a long day. I ended up going into the office at 6:30 AM because I just couldn’t sleep anymore. Had breakfast and lunch at the cafe; the lunch in particular was good, some kind of pasta dish. I had about 3 meetings today, the first one starting at 8 AM but none of…
