Not quite done with this long weekend – the kids have off tomorrow still. I’m working although I have plenty of non-work stuff to do. This week was the usual whirlwind of kids pick ups/drop offs/dinner/work. Wednesday drove up to Frederick to have a nice catch up with S, although …
First of all Chappell Roan, didn’t you hear its not polite to expose other people to your kinks non consensually? Been a week of snow and ice and no school for the kiddos. They were bored spitless this week, especially since this isn’t even stuff that they can play in. …
Last week while at the dinner table I got an unexpected notification that my Potbelly’s order will be ready in 15 minutes – in Wisconsin. Considering I was eating dinner in Virginia, that struck me as odd. I checked further and there was indeed an order – two orders – …
Writing this from Florida, a couple of hours before leaving for the airport and back to reality. This past week has been both blissful and painful. Painful because I’m still battling some low level crud that has me suffering from headaches, bodyaches, a small tributary of phlegm and general malaise. …

How is it already November 11th? These few weeks have passed way too quickly, especially given the shortening of days, the relentlessness of life, and the scarcity of time. The penultimate weekend of October Nora and Jyotsna went camping with Girl Scouts. I was going to take the other two …
Fall is undeniable now. Had a beautiful drive on Friday down to my OMG retreat down in Lake Anna. The fall colors were in evidence, the weather was just about perfect, and I got a chance to catch up on the phone with a couple of loved ones. That morning …
Its been an unexpectedly long adjustment back to “real life”. Not helped of course with almost a full week of GI upset that only started to reverse when the doc gave me antibiotics on Thursday. Went to get my checkup/physical on Thursday. Weight down from last year (6%!) , BP …
