After a full eight hours of sleep, I greeted the day. I went to the gym from 5:00-6:00 PM, where I did 200 crunches, followed by 45 minutes on the treadmill. It felt good, and I need to get back to a more regular routine with regards to the gym. I also need to start … Read more
I forgot to mention a couple of things about yesterday: When I got home from work neither my trash can nor my recycle bin, both of which I had put out in the morning, were anywhere to be found. I spotted a trash can halfway down the hill upon which I live, laying on its … Read more
I had the most delightful lunch with Jason, a professor of mine from grad school who’s just a quality human being. It was good to catch up. I’d asked him to bring a picture of his two-year old, which he remembered to do—two of them in fact—and she is just adorable. Among a number of … Read more
I had another good day at work today—working at a good clip, but not crazy, and getting a good amount of work accomplished. Late morning, I checked my e-mail notification to confirm that my photo cards should indeed be at that K-Mart by now, so I called there. As soon as I said my name, … Read more
I kept a low profile today, resting my knee as much as possible. Tonight was our big fundraiser at Manbites Dog Theater, and as a board member, I dutifully arrived at 6:30 as instructed. Gregor has donated 100 long-sleeved black t-shirt with the Manbites Dog logo on them and they look stellar! Most of the … Read more

Among other things, I created an announcement about my trip to the staff, which is now posted in the Staff News section of the Office of Information Technology home page: OIT staff member talks technical communication in China. I picked up Katherine Chandler at the airport … Read more
Today was going to be my last day at the office, with my official quit date being tomorrow. However, when it was all said and done, I didn’t get done what I wanted done, so I talked to Woody about “checking out” tomorrow at about 1:30. Robert and I saw The Island, staged by The … Read more
I was having another most incredible dream this morning when I woke up. So elaborate. Strange, these dreams, these last couple of days. Wonder what’s causing them. Lots on my mind? Fevers in the night? Tylenol in my system? Who knows. I met Kevin (av8rdude) at the Bruegger’s at Mission Valley at 9:45 this morning. … Read more
I headed out to the beach at noon, and Michael and I spent the day together, while Nick and “Big Jim” worked at the theater. We made the short walk down to the pier area, which is also where all of the bars and shops are in this tiny little beach town. While Michael went … Read more
I met Kevin (av8rdude) at the gym at 1:00, where it was an all-cardio day for me. I forgot to start with some crunches, so they were out of the question—as all three sections of the ab bench would be absolutely drenched with sweat if I did them after my hour of cardio. Not to … Read more
