Good day at work with NAME BRAND CORPORATION today. I had been fairly worried about it being a long and painful session because of REDACTED. It wound up being long, but not at all painful. It was simply the structured working through of a bunch…
Attended a beautiful wedding for an old friend, in Newport RI this weekend. I don’t think I’ve ever been to one quite like this … while every aspect was sumptuous, it was also understated and dignified. It was great to hang out with old friends…
Home again from Atlanta. Since I’ve now exceeded the number of days that they can casually put me on the “visitor” list, I’ve been put in for badging. This will be the lightweight background check version (no outstanding felonies) rather than the “full polygraph” to…
I’m totally sold on Montreal. The city appears to be made out of art museums, good restaurants, and cool festivals. For example, this evening we intend to attend a session of the international fireworks competition. Seriously. They have fireworks every Saturday, all summer, like –…

Posting from Copan Ruinas, on our second day of the trip. Day one was pretty exciting. Neither of us bothered to verify the actual departure time of our flight, and we wound up missing it. That’s a first for me, and it didn’t feel as…
Home for a day, with redmed before headed to Honduras for a (well earned) week’s vacation tomorrow. On a crazy lark, headed to technolope and capital_ls place directly from picking redmed up at the airport last night. We had a fantastic dinner and made an…
Once again, I find myself at the bar at The Outback steakhouse. Why is this weird? I’m a vegetarian and some kinda health / fitness freak. I assure you, it feels sorta weird. Why does it work? Well first off, Outback has a number of…
