One of those days…

Ever have one of those days where you’ve got so much to do, you end up in an endless-loop just trying to figure out where to start? Today is one of those days. Maybe it’s the rain.

Hump-day

Busy day at the office today. At one point during the day, I think I was doing 5 things at once. I was in a phone meeting, eating a sandwich, replying to an urgent email, participating in a IM meeting, and jotting notes on my whiteboard, all more or less at the same time. A [...]

Workshopping and working

Up at 6:30 after a good night’s sleep and into the office a little while later. It wasn’t a terribly busy day at the office, but there was still stuff to do. I did 5 of 6 workshop critiques that came in today. The sixth one came in late this evening and I won’t get [...]

Last night’s dinner

I cooked dinner last night. I mean, really cooked. I used one of the cookbooks that Mom & Dad got us. We defrosted some free range (or as Kelly likes to call them “happy”) chicken breast. Then when I got home from work, I made us “ranch chicken”. In addition, I made a side of [...]

Issues resolved with Goodreads

I finally got my reading list fixed on Goodreads. My profile is available here.

Peace!

We love having visitors, but we’ve had visitors every weekend since moving. Couple that with the move itself, the tasks to do afterward, and wedding plans, and I think both Kelly and I are exhausted at this point. Fortunately, next weekend is Labor Day weekend. It’s a three-day weekend for me and a four-day weekend [...]

Rejections and short-lists

Yesterday, I got finally got a brief rejection note from Strange Horizons for “The Golden Watch”. It took 49 days from start to finish and that is nearly twice as long as any other story I’ve sent them. I’d like to think it meant I got farther along in the process, but the one-sentence message [...]

To the airport!

Took Dad to the airport this morning before coming into work. He was on the same flight as Mom last week. Next time we’ll see them is when they come out in about 6-1/2 weeks for the wedding.

Happy Anniversary, Doug and Rachel!

Just wanted to wish Doug and Rachel a very HAPPY ANNIVERSARY. I hope you guys have a great day.

Yankees/Orioles game

We were up around 8 AM and actually got to laze around for a while this morning. We watched most of Charles Osgood’s Sunday morning show on CBS, which is one Sunday morning program that I enjoy. Around 10:45, Dad and I hopped in the car and headed up to Camden Yards for the Yankees/Orioles [...]

Road trip to Williamsburg

We took Dad to happy hour last night after work, but overall, it was an early night for us. We were up around 7 AM this morning and were on the road just after 8 AM. It took us about 2-1/2 hours to drive the 149 miles or so to Williamsburg, Virginia. Kelly and I [...]

Fouled up my data on GoodReads

I was trying to be clever and managed to delete most of my data on Good Reads. It’ll be sometime this weekend before I get it all re-imported.
