Happy Birthday, Pete! * * * It's been a fun week. It was a three day work week for me - I took off Thursday and Friday to burn some hours and make a five day weekend happen. I got some chores done. We went fishing (and Marcia caught a small-ish big mouth bass that we gave back to the lake): And on a long walk around the neighborhood, Lexi was perplexed: The Fitbit says I did five days of exercise, although I only did three dedicated exercise days, truth be told. But the work counts. Sadly, so do the…

Well, another busy week gone. Sadly, I'm a cranky bastard today because they had a late-night party at the pool last night that ran until midnight (a bit later, actually) with loud music. It was a neighborhood-approved event, so I didn't set the cops on them, but I'll bitch about it to the management and the board. If they can't control the volume, I don't want my HOA fees going to that sort of event. The restless first part of the night leaves me feeling altogether unrested. Sigh. The good news is that next weekend is the last weekend for…

A busy week at work, a spot of fishing untroubled by fish, some chores and some shopping. That's the week in a nutshell. * * * DoD reported no new casualties in the last week. Ciao!

[Muttered, from the stack of bodies on the cart]: I'm not dead, yet! In the week leading up to last Saturday, I had five good days of exercise: pushing pretty hard. Then on the Saturday, I spent most of the day working out in the sun on an August summer day, and I destroyed myself. Lawns, yardwork, and deck/furniture cleaning. All that I did on Sunday last was relax, and crawl up the stairs to bed. I also took it far too easy this last week: just work, no working out to speak of. It's too hot for nearly everything.

31 July 2016

Fun weekend! I took the day off on Friday, and we went fishing (no fish, but fishing doesn't require that) nearly first thing in the morning. In the afternoon, we went to see Star Trek Beyond. A good entertainment, that. I like this cast, and my worries about Justin Lin's (ed: not Jason, sigh) direction were just that: worries. Good fun flick. Saturday evening, we went to Annapolis Shakespeare Company's staged reading (and singing) of My Fair Lady. I've seen this show twice, now. Once was with Rex Harrison, back in the 1980's. I'll tell you - for me, this…
