    This Friday I am continuing to execute my strategy to burn excess vacation days. It works out especially well this weekend, because one of Reagan’s friends is flying into town tonight, for the weekend. I addition to palling around with them this weekend, I will be keeping my eye on the following items: Friday- Bailout…

    I remembered seeing some banners about the motor expo when I was walking out of work Friday evening. But I had totally forgotten over the weekend. If I could come around the corner every Monday morning on my way into the office and see a couple of beautiful Maseratis, instead of the usual geriatric tour…

    I didn’t really write much last weekend because I have been working on a new project for my extended family. My mom and my aunts are big time genealogy buffs. In fact, they have already published a few books. Anyway, I have been giving them a hand with a couple of genealogy websites. Since I’m…

    We had some really great visits with Piper last weekend. One of the interesting things about only being able to visit her on the weekend, is that her progress is easily seen, when contrasted with the previous week. Last weekend was no different. She is getting a little bit bigger and stronger every time we…

    About a month ago, I threw an avocado pit into one of our plant pots, mostly just to be funny, but partially as an experiment. I remember when I was little, we would put tooth pics in them, and suspend them in cups on the window sill in the kitchen until they would sprout. Then,…

    I am super excited about the long weekend, for several reasons. First of all, it is looking like more lovely weather on Sunday and Monday. Tomorrow is supposed to be overcast, but that’s ok, because we are going for a really long run in the morning, so it will keep us from overheating. The next…

    Today is the typical kind of cliché Friday, where I every time I look outside and see how nice it is, I just want to leave work and start the weekend early. Unfortunately, I’m having a bit of a busy day. I keep thinking about how great the weather was last weekend, and how much…

    It was such a beautiful morning for a ride. When the weather is like this, it doesn’t even seem like work, when I’m riding. I left a pair of shoes here, the other day, so I didn’t have to pack any, on the ride in. Having the reduced weight really seemed to make a difference.…
