Happy Birthday, bigblu4!
A very big HAPPY BIRTHDAY goes out to bigblu4 , who is spending his big day on the East Coast this year. Looks like he even got a present from the weather. While it’s overcast and a little rainy, it’s nearly 60 degrees in NYC at the moment. In fact, the weather is eerily like the [...]
Oh Christmas Tree…
Sarah came over and the three of us decorated our Christmas tree today. Here’s a picture. Simon is sitting under the tree. In the background are two bookshelves containing, almost exclusively, Isaac Asimov books. (Click for a larger image.)
Happy Birthday, Ruby!
A big Happy Birthday goes out to my niece, Ruby, who turns 5 years old today. (Whenever someone turns five years old I can’t help but think of the opening line to Harlan Ellison’s story, "Jefty was five. He was always five.") Hope you have a terrific birthday! And a quick note: I was offline [...]
Thanksgiving dinner
Great Thanksgiving dinner at Sarah’s this evening. Early in the afternoon, I set about making my stuffed mushrooms. I made two kinds, a spicy, seasoned kind and a more bland kind. The spicy, seasoned ones came out really good. I surprised myself. We headed over to Sarah’s just before 3 PM. All told, there were nine [...]
Happy Thanksgiving!
I mentioned the odd sleeping patterns we’ve fallen into. I went back to bed at about 1 AM and tossed and turned and slept fitfully until about 2:45. Then I fell asleep and slept pretty well until 7 AM. Kelly got up and I started reading the latest issue of NEW SCIENTIST in bed until just before 8 AM, when [...]
Happy Birthday, kruppenheimer

One month
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 [...]
Happy birthday, Kelly!
Just wanted to wish Kelly a super-big HAPPY BIRTHDAY! She gets to work from home today which means we get to spend the entire day together (even though she really does have work to do).
Happy birthday, Andy!
A big HAPPY BIRTHDAY goes out to Andy today! Hope you have a great day, buddy!
Nine-Eleven
It’s that time again, Patriot’s Day, according to my calendar. Right across the street from my office is the unveiling of the new 9/11 garden at the Pentagon, so there were all kinds of road closures this morning, none affecting us however. The police were out in force, giving people tickets who were making illegal [...]
Happy Anniversary, Doug and Rachel!
Just wanted to wish Doug and Rachel a very HAPPY ANNIVERSARY. I hope you guys have a great day.
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 [...]
