Happy birthday wishes go out to kruppenheimer this morning. Congratulations on finally being able to run for president. Welcome to the ranks!
I did it. I created my first recipe! Years ago, I went to dinner at a place in New York City called Dish with he11o_sunshine and stubiebrother . I had the best soup I’ve ever had in my life there. It was an "apple, ale and cheddar" soup and it was delicious! We tried to go back once and discovered,…
It was unusually warm yesterday, over 70 degrees by mid-morning. Kelly and I walked up to Pentagon City where we had brunch at Harry’s Tap Room. We then wandered around the mall for a little while, popping in and out of various shops, just browsing, not buying. We walked back home and about halfway, the…
I didn’t get to bed until midnight last night. I stayed up playing Tiger Woods. I hadn’t played it in about a week and I did pretty good last night. I won the Fourth of July tournament–I actually came in 1st place at -6. It was fun. Once again, no NEW SCIENTIST yesterday, so I broke…
Still no NEW SCIENTIST. Rainy day today. As planned, Karl, Todd and I headed to the house during lunch. They helped me bring the grill up from the landing and into the living room (where I can more easily maneuver it toward the kitchen) and then we spent an hour or so playing Wii. It was a lot…
We got a notice from Avalon Communities (which owns/manages our townhouse) that they are improving their website to provide additional value to customers. The downside is that for the time being, all automatic rent payments have been canceled and we have to send our checks to the central rental office somewhere in Florida I think. …
I went to bed at 8 PM last night. I tried reading for a little while, but I was just too tired. I woke up with a terrible headache yesterday morning and it lingered for most of the day. I took some medicine before going to bed and then finally seemed to help. I turned out the light maybe…
I had another productive day at work today, mostly working on a fairly sophisticated application logging system. I’m pleased with how it is working so far. Dashed for the mail box when I got home today and still no NEW SCIENTIST, much to my dismay. I know that I can read the issue on-line, but it doesn’t give me…
Can you believe it’s been one month since our wedding already? Time has zoomed by at an incredible rate! I had to work late today but on the way home, I picked up a dozen roses for Kelly in celebration of the special day. (Kelly had Veterans Day off.) The cats were hungry early and so I was…
I felt much better when I woke up this morning and as a result, I had a productive day at work today and it felt good. The day concluded with a two hour meeting. Kelly was waiting for me at the mall when the meeting was over and we headed home together. It was a quiet and relaxing…
I’ve been reading Walter Isaacson’s biography Einstein of late and enjoying it very much. (Although even it’s non-mathematical description of relativity has pushed my understanding to the limit.) At noon today, I dove into the book and disappeared within it. I read 35 pages during my lunch hour, which for me is impressive for non-fiction. …
