A hunting we will go

Long day at work today. I was in the office just after 6 AM and worked steadily until heading out the door at 4 PM. I brought in my apple, ale and cheddar soup in for lunch, and brought an extra bowl for Casey to give it a try. He said he enjoyed it. There was a package [...]

From the Earth to the Moon

I really slept in late today, not getting out of bed until close to 9:30 AM–two hours after Kelly got up this morning. I started reading Robert J. Sawyer’s Frameshift this morning, and spent much of the day reading–and enjoying it very much. Rob has a knack for telling a good story and I’ve been trying to [...]

Holiday weekend, part 2

I woke up sore this morning from all of the Wii playing yesterday. I slept in a bit, and when I woke up, I jumped right back into Only Begotten Daughter, making some more headway, and enjoying the story very much. Kelly and I decided to head into Georgetown today. The weather was nice and we thought we’d [...]

Productive!

Today was a productive day. We were up around 8 AM and after watch a movie in the morning, I started putting the new grill together at 10 AM. I finished at 12:30 (having gone through my Life On Mars playlist), and we moved the new grill out onto the deck (where, by the way, the temperature [...]

Life on Mars

I’ve been enjoying Life on Mars on ABC. I may have mentioned somewhere that I was puzzled by a few things–like why Sam doesn’t "prove" he’s from the future by making a specific prediction. But it seems that, for now, the writers are avoiding the issue. Nevertheless, I enjoy the show. One thing I really like about the [...]

TV Thursday

Busy and productive day at work today. It was bitter cold today, but we made the most of it. When we got home from work, we lit the fireplace and sat by the fire all evening, being lazy and watching TV: Smallville, The Office, and Life on Mars. No mail of interest today. I spoke briefly [...]

More Tiger

Productive day at work today. It was cold and overcast and there were threats of snow flurries, but I didn’t see any snow today. When I picked Kelly up from work, I cleaned up a bit. I scoured the kitchen, cleaned the litter boxes and took out the trash and recycling. We watched the two most recent [...]

Gettin’ caught in the rain…

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 [...]

Thursday

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 [...]

I am surrounded by clocks!

Throughout the day yesterday, I was slowly consumed by a vaguely familiar feeling–one that says: you are getting sick! Sure enough, by the end of the work day, I was feeling it: running nose, stuffy head, headache, etc. I am supposed to get a flu shot on Tuesday. I am hoping that it’s not too late. [...]

Fall back

For the first time in a long, long time, I did not turn the clocks back before going to bed. That’s not to say I didn’t know that daylight savings ended today. I just forgot to turn the clocks back. I was pleased, therefore, when I woke up around 6 AM, to turn the clock back an hour. I even [...]

Another lazy Sunday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY goes out to the Norm half of vickyandnorm today! Sore today from all of the Wii playing yesterday. (Can you believe it? Sore from a video game?) Another lazy day today. We slept in but were up in time to watch Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood. It was a beautiful day out, but [...]
