Weekend has been pretty good so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Started off with a massive technical win – which I’m still struggling to even describe without resorting to a whiteboard. I think that I did something pretty cool … so cool that I can’t even really explain it. Usually these things turn out to be simple. “So then I deleted that one damn semicolon, and everything worked perfectly!” This wasn’t one of those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following that was what might be called “romance fail.” I stopped off to pick up my very own “stimulus package:” A dozen roses and a bottle of plum wine. Get home to find redmed<\/a> sound asleep. Figuring this was just a quick nap, I caught up on email – still snoring – watched some TV – still snoring – made a light dinner – checked pulse – and finally called it an evening. Around 10:30pm she woke up all like “what? Oooo. Flowers! Pretty!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yesterday I went back to judo for the first time in a month and got a private lesson for two hours from two black belts. That was pretty cool. Since my knee is still on light duty, I learned a lot of terminology and lot of stuff about arm and shoulder locks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Last night, and S. came over for dinner. We got the apartment all cleaned up, and redmed<\/a> made an awesome polenta. As usual, one bottle of wine turned into two, and we all sat around laughing until the wee hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
