Relax, It’s Friday

We made it. It was yet another month-long week and our souls have been nearly sucked dry by the punch clock, but no corporate vampire is going to keep us down. We’ve got 48 hours of sunlight, so while our blood-sucking overlords sleep the sleep of the (spiritually) dead we can bask in extra sleep, […]

It’s Friday(Don’t Waste It)

We made it to Friday. Finally. I don’t know what it is about these 4-day weeks that end up feeling like 6-day weeks, but it happens every time. Now, if you’re week is short because you took a Friday off, well that’s completely different. Those weeks feel short and special. You take Friday off and […]

My Kind Of Weekend

Feels like it’s been a while since I had a four-day weekend I was happy with. The last few extended times off were decent, but in the end I felt I’d spent the majority of the time being busy as opposed to spending time doing things for myself. No down time, necessarily. No “me” time. […]

Another Quick Weekend, Pending Totality, Mini Vacation

Another Saturday and Sunday come and gone. Quicker than you can say TGIF, we’re already on the pre-dawn drive back to work. It’s a process as old as time. I’m sure there were cavemen wondering where the weekend went as they were leaving their cave for the rock quarries or something(I bet that Flintstone cat […]

Weekend Wrap-Up : Still Moving Things, Work Brunch, Movies, Two Weeks Till Santa

It’s 3:50 am on a Monday morning and I’m writing to you all. Why? It’s not because I can’t or don’t want to sleep, believe me. Ever since my 20-year old who’s living on her own was late getting to work last week I’ve been paranoid about making sure she’s up on time. She’s what […]

Weekend Update : Indy, Books, Walks, Yard Work, Oh My!

It was a pretty decent weekend. Thursday night the wife and I drove our 20-year old to the Indianapolis airport. She had a 9pm flight from Indy to Newark, NJ. From Newark she took a cab to Manhattan where she spent the weekend with her best friend. A trip long overdue and one very sorely […]

A Weekend In Photos

It was the perfect fall weekend. Despite Friday getting near 80 degrees and me turning the A/C on after work because the house was near 75 degrees inside(neighbors were burning so I had to close all the windows), by Saturday morning the cold air moved in. It was blue skies, chilled air, and a sense […]

Nice Weekend, Spooky Tunes, Looking Better

This was probably the best weekend I’ve had in almost two months. That heaviness I’ve been carrying around seems to have lifted. A major reason for that is that my 20-year old daughter seems to be doing better, her heaviness and sadness over the whole dog debacle is diminishing. She’s still pissed at what the […]

Another Weekend Laid To Rest

The weekend wasn’t bad. It moved along like it was in a hurry(as usual) to get back to whence it came, but that’s par for the course. That’s the nature of the weekend; here and gone like Haley’s Comet. Friday afternoon is but a distant memory(did it really happen?) I sometimes feel like it’s the […]

Weekend, Vacation, and Life’s Little Kicks To The Nuts

The weekend started out rocky. Found out Thursday that my dad is going to have to have a total hip replacement. After being in constant pain for what feels like a very long time, he went to the Ortho walk-in clinic in town to get looked at. He’s been having pain running down his right […]
