War Stories by Joe Haleman arrived today, making it the 998th 999th book in my collection. Two One more to go before I hit 1,000! UPDATE: I discovered a book on myself my shelf last night that had not been entered into my database. This is why the numbers changed from 998 books to 999…
Turning 34 is definitely the transition to middle age. I had my physical today. The doctors (who were recommended to me by Rich) were great. I met both Dr. Ken and Dr. Laura (husband and wife team) and Ken spent nearly an hour with me, getting a history, doing the exam, drawing blood, talking about…
Well, I’m 34 years old today. When I woke up this morning, I completely forgot that it was my birthday and the only reason I remembered is because I’m working from home today. I have a doctor’s appointment this afternoon in Silver Spring and it was easier to work from home then to head all…
As of 4:30 PM, I have gotten through 100 additional pages of Gotham. It really is a terrific book, very hard to put down. With 3-1/2 hours before 8 PM, I figure I can get through just about 50 pages more, putting me right at my goal of getting through 150 pages today. This would…
The goal today is to get through about 150 pages or so of Gotham, which will put me in a good position to finish up by Friday. It’s just about 8 AM now, and if I get started at 8 AM, and give myself until 8 PM (with a few breaks, of course), I can…
I got a badly needed haircut today. Zeke is in the background admiring the view.
For the last couple of mornings, when I leave for work, I’ve heard this fast drumming-like sound, something that sounds like a cell phone on vibrate on a wood table. It occurred to me the other day, that the sound is, in fact, a woodpecker in my neighbors tree. I can hear it right now…
That’s what I spend the early part of my evening doing. I am so sick of pizza, I am always telling people how sick of pizza I am, but this evening, what did I do? I ordered a pizza from Pizza Hut. It’s the first time I’ve ever felt bad for a delivery man. This…
I’ve got a number of things that I need to do this weekend: First and foremost: Get a haircut! (I need one badly) Get more cat food for Zeke; I’ve still got some left, but I need to stock up Get through at least 200 more pages of Gotham (I’m in a race to finish…
I turned out the lights at 10 PM last night and slept fitfully until just after 1 AM. Since then, I’ve been awake, unable to go back to sleep. I’m debating giving up, turning on the light and reading until I have to get ready for work, in about 4 hours, but I’m going to…
I got this DVD from NetFlix today and it is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a long time. I’ve always been a Christopher Walken fan, but this is him at his funniest. I laughed through the entire hour and twenty minutes of skits.
I’ve just ordered my 998th book, Joe Haldeman’s War Stories. This means that I need 2 more books to reach 1,000. One of the two books I’m already planning on ordering–it’s the one volume I’m missing in the 11-volume Story of Civilization series by Will Durant. That means, I really only need one more book…
