Busy Couple Weeks, Vinyl Fever, Lots To Celebrate

Hello all. Been a minute since we just sat down to chat. I’ve mainly been listening to a lot of music lately which has proven fruitful, even therapeutic. It’s been kind of a whirlwind couple weeks, what with that crazy week in Colorado and all that happened there. Happy to be home and not have […]

Double Weekend, Making Things, One Week Till Rocky Mountain Way

It was a weird last few days. I was off last Wednesday and Thursday, then went back to work on Friday, then off again for another two days. It was like a normal weekend, then compressed an entire work week into one day and BOOM….the weekend. I’m not complaining, though. I’ll gladly welcome any paid […]

Hot Weekend…Home Improvements…Flying Solo

It was another scorcher of a weekend. Taking the dog out in minute intervals so he doesn’t stroke out, taking the dog out in minute intervals so I don’t stroke out, keeping the blinds shut so the place stays cool,…you know, in preparation for the future when we can no longer go outside without PPP […]

Long Weekend…28th Wedding Anniversay…Father’s Day

At the last minute last Thursday I decided I was going to take Friday off. It wasn’t like I had any plans, it just hit me that I needed to take a 3-day weekend. Not much going on at work, and my son and his girlfriend were leaving at 7am Friday morning for Tennessee for […]

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 […]
