Two weeks ago, I was in Atlanta, GA – working for the Center for Disease Control (and prevention too!). That’s a cool gig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last week, I was in Hampton, VA – working for the Science Directorate of NASA. That’s also a cool gig – but in a totally different technical area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This week, I’m at home – multiplexing between tasks for both groups while trying to do plebeian things like dishes, catbox cleaning, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My job rules – but sometimes it can be an eentsy bit stressful. Just sometimes. Usually it’s beer and ping pong all day. Not this week though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fortunately, I have good friends. technolope<\/a> took one for the team last night and accompanied me to Symphony Hall to see Itzhak Perlman perform. redmed<\/a> couldn’t use her ticket – being in Baltimore and all. Then we went shoe shopping<\/a> (srsly) – and then to the Lower Depths tap room for an awesome beer – and onward to meet capital_l<\/a> at their place, where we made tacos and played with the Wii fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Wii fit rules. It’s like – fitness science. I know that my left leg is wobblier than my right. Wii fit quantifies<\/strong> it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Today, I finally got back to Judo. Sometimes it’s nice to have the break so I can see my progress from a distance. Sometimes I just realize that I fall out of shape quite rapidly – and that muscle memory needs constant work to build it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Onward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Two weeks ago, I was in Atlanta, GA – working for the Center for Disease Control (and prevention too!).
