thoughts are slow to come - so, some images... ran across the sky in motion in today's apod . i don't always click through to these, but the pic was broke, so i investigated. glad i did. the video has meditative imagery and music fitting for this date. wandering around on the eastern...

oh, just a bunch of little stuff that's been accumulating, in no particular order: went to the dentist for my cleaning appointment today - and they had mis-scheduled, something about a system change-over. also, the lady who has been doing the work the last couple of years has moved on to a...

i could not dissuade my sister & gang from maryland from including me on their easter ohio visiting itinerary last week, no matter what horror stories of dust bunny avalanches & pizza box / beer bottle towers i threw at them. at least i managed to convince them that it was in their best interest...

i don't normally go to events like this, but i like the location & time of year. it'll be a good jeep ride, whatever the weather.

... you need to have music for that. so i'm sitting here on the night of the 30th, watching tv in splendid squalor (and pajamas), when who should show up at the door ? why, my brother john , of course ! what other nut in the family is going to finally take matters into their own hands and take the five...

so much for unique post titles ;-) no stories here, just a couple notes. don't ya hate that pushpin ? stayed at a chalet called "zoo haus". apparently, it was built in 1965 and made a bit of news up there at the time. it's a 3 / 6 sided structure with a central fire pit and cathedral ceiling that extends...

a comic pointed out by a friend dentist this morning. meetings this afternoon. it's no contest as to which is more painful. actually got a lot done the last two days. that stops today. on my way skiing tomorrow. gone until next tuesday. taking bets on events in my absence.

looking forward to a kick-back trip. haven't done anything in a while. it will be good to get out of town for a bit. i'm thinking a six-day "weekend" is a decent goal. starting next thursday. don't come looking for me. i won't be there. anywhere. have to point this out, silly techno-farts: i received...

did you ever have to hack your way through your work projects ? friggin' 99% undocumented "sdk"'s will do that to you. or rather, me. had to guess & crack my way to database passwords, and reverse-engineer some code to dig out a needed application setting. after, of course, digging through the binaries...

just so's it won't be more than a year since i last posted... but blogshares dropped me, they have a three month inactivity limit. lots of postable material has passed via email, but as usual, retroactive posting will be infrequent at best. but it will be easier now: news: this is no longer a .Text installation...

i mean, really, it's been so danged warm this season. except for a week in early december when the temps hovered in the teens, i swear the thermometer has been above 50 more than below. probably wrong there, but i shouldn't even have “50” in mind until march. and yeah, the top & doors...

kinda thinking about that poor groundhog poking his head out of a hole, looking for spring. that's me, finally showing up on a blog. this one sits in most of the categories here, just so's it covers bases. just took 25 minutes to order a pizza by phone. good thing i have a couple beers in me, pretty...

how many stupid thanksgiving post titles can i come up with ? still sitting at home right now, need to make my way north. still have to pack. had that discussion last night. “ what time is dinner?” “four o'clock; where are you at?” [in disbelief:] “in an office !”...

impressions... ahh - so that was a wine tour, mostly. or so it seemed when they got back home. beer too. and i am a happy beneficiary of the fruits (and grains) of the tour ;-) so i got to see a couple of good movies, and one of nick's hockey games, and one of allie's swim meets. fun stuff. it's nice...

location note: north of detroit. the lord and lady of the manor (manner?) have departed for a biking related fall color tour in northern michigan. i got my tour on the way up here ;-) just a short note, a bit pooped after wrestling with my yardwork, bills, isp's and dvd burning the last couple of days...
