And it was - nearly 60F today. Stuff is blooming and budding and ... I have yard work to do. Oh, wait ... IT'S STILL WINTER!!! I did none of that this weekend, however. We relaxed in advance of Marcia's cataract surgery this coming week. We hope that goes well for all the usual reasons, and at least one unusual one - we're going to see Zoe Keating next weekend! Huzzah! On the professional side of things, I'm working on refreshing my Red Hat training in advance of re-certifying for my RHCE, sooner than later. Frankly, not a lot of…

17 February 2020

We had a lovely 3 day weekend hereabouts. We started a bit early with a pleasant evening at home for Valentine's Day. This was followed by Marcia's birthday. We relaxed, watched shows as she wanted, played a few games, and I "cooked" dinner, using some of the meatballs she'd made up earlier in the week. Then shopping and some chores on Sunday, and more relaxation today for the holiday. Tomorrow, back to work. Not much else to report but for the seasonally inappropriate weather - it's too damn warm. I'm going to have to start doing yardwork really soon unless…

5 February 2020

So, we've had a week that was somewhere between t-shirt and sweatshirt weather. Very weird for late January into early February. This is normally the core of snow season here just south of the Mason-Dixon line. But we've only been graced with a pittance of the white fluffy stuff so far this year. Upside - no shoveling yet. Downside - I might have to start doing outside spring work much, much earlier than I expected. I've been reading ... mostly Clarkesworld Magazine, and Neil's related project, Forever Magazine. (Yes, yes ... not HTTPS, I have to get on Neil's case…

Yes, yes, yes. It's been many days since Friday the Thirteenth fell on a Monday this month. I've been busy, but that's all, just busy. All is otherwise well. Roasting coffee. Chores. Dinner guests. Work. Sleep. And the clock, it keeps ticking. So, thank you for your patience. Your reward is a winterized Lexi photo: Not much else to report. Be well.

It falls on a Monday this month. I can tell. All in, though, it was a good weekend, and today: a productive start to the week. The downside is, there are so many things I'd like to accomplish and not enough time for them all, much less relaxing. So I'm doing more relaxing and less of the things. For now, that's okay. There's not much else going on for us. Watching the brinksmanship and idiocy going on in the upper reaches is something else again. I finished up nearly all of the novels in the Liaden Universe series. I've not…
