The last commute

After 6 years of taking the train from Prince George’s Plaza metro to Pentagon City; and before that 8 years of driving between Studio City and Santa Monica, beginning tomorrow, I will be living close enough to work where a commute is not necessary. The new house [...]

Congratulations, vickyandnorm!

…On the birth of Claire and Grace last night. I passed out sometime around 9:50 PM, but I checked my phone as soon as I was up this morning and saw that the twins were born right about the time I was falling asleep. Glad to hear they are all healthy and can’t wait to [...]

Writer’s workshop!

Metro delays

It is ironic that in my last week as a regular metro rider, I had the single worst delay I’ve experienced since I began riding Metro almost 6 years ago. I left the office just after 5 PM yesterday (I had a training session I had to attend all afternoon) and headed down to the [...]

Sunday

We were up sometime around 8 AM yesterday. Kelly finished up some laundry and then at 9 AM, Kelly, Dad and I headed up to IHOP for breakfast. Kelly was going to a play this afternoon and at about 11 AM she headed off. Dad and I left for Baltimore a short time later. We [...]

Readercon Recap

I still don’t have Internet access at home, and so I wrote my Saturday recap of Readercon this morning and back-posted it. You can find Friday here and Saturday here (Saturday won’t show up on Friends’ pages as it’s backdated).

Happy birthday, Rachel!

A big HAPPY BIRTHDAY goes out to Rachel! I hope you have a great day!
