For such a productive day, I’ve felt pretty darn lazy today. Maybe it’s the 95 degree temperatures and 95% humidity. I slept in a little later than usual, but we didn’t got to bed until around midnight last night anyway, so time-wise, it was pretty standard. But I did sleep well. We had our dance lesson…
We headed to Tyson’s Corner this morning to pick up Kelly’s wedding ring, which had come yesterday. This time, it fit perfectly. We stopped at Cinnabon so that I could eat something. And we stopped at Banana Republic for Kelly to do some dress shopping (and I got a shirt). Then it was back home, where Kelly…
I got a bike pump this afternoon when I got home from work. I pumped up the rear tire, and adjusted the front brakes. Everything was perfect. I rode my bike around the back street here just to make sure everything was good. All seemed good. But then, it felt like I had a rock…
We were out late last night, at Todd and Jen’s for our second poker night. We arrived there right about 8:30 and we left 4 hours later, after once again losing at poker night. This time I think I was 4th out, out of 7. Jen won and Karl came in second. It was a…
We were up pretty early this morning. Kelly had to go into work, but I stayed home because I needed to be here for the cable guy. I made good use of the time. I got my books unpacked. There are 36 boxes of books and I managed to get most of them unpacked and…
We got off to a productive start to our day. First, we headed over to the bank, hauling a bunch of change that I had collected. We used the change machine and when all was said and done, we got more than $160 for the change. After that, we headed to Goodwill where we dropped…
Yesterday afternoon began late yesterday morning. After Kelly cleaned off her desk and I finished my book, we headed out for a day full of errands and fun. First we went to the post office so that I could mail all of my tax papers to my accountant. With that out of the way, we…
Yesterday morning, Kelly and I headed over to Tyson’s Corner at 10 AM in order to shop. Kelly wanted to get a dress for the upcoming Rainbow Room birthday dinner. After getting to Tyson’s, parking, and briefly wandering through Banana Republic, we made our way to the dress section of Lord & Taylor’s. Less than…
Four hours later, having gone through the Gap, Banana Republic, Calvin Klein, Bostonian, Polo Ralph Lauren, Movado, Borders (where I made my only purchase), Harry and David, Quiet Storm, J. Crew, Subway, Saks, and back to Banana Republic, Kelly finally finished shopping. The book that I got is called The Scientists by John Gribbin. Its…
I took Kelly to breakfast at IHOP. Afterwards, we ran up to Michael’s and PetSmart to do some errands. I did a couple of loads of laundry. I read Connie Willis’ “All Seated on the Ground” in the December ASIMOV’S. I napped. I finished Connie Willis’ novella. I ran some more errands. I made dinner.…
Busy, but productive, day at work today. I managed to get a lot of SQL code written on a project that has been in the planning and design phases for months and has finally entered the development phase. That felt good. Last night, I finished the first draft of a new story called, “The Order…
It started Friday night. Kelly and I attended a happy hour with a decent turn-out for a change. Even AJ and Denisse joined the fun. Denisse offered me $100 if I got AJ drunk. About all I got him to do was a shot of tequila. Oh well. Kelly was parked in the Pentagon City…
