Whoops...

Frankly, I don't know what happened on Sunday. It wasn't a particularly stressful day, I got some stuff done, but not much. Not much at all since I managed also to forget to post, and continue forgetting until Marcia reminded me just now. What's been going on? Today: You wouldn't guess it was Spring already, eh? In other news, I've been a much better boy when it comes to sticking to the exercise routine this year. I picked up in earnest in early February and have been improving as I went along.

Oh, yeah, and patched some Solaris boxen, and ... well, you get the idea. Sleep is for the weak. * * * No casualties were announced by DoD in the last week.

Time Bandits

They've been, and gone, and an hour of my life has been stolen from me. Worse yet, I had patching duties this morning early, and the vague worry about over-sleeping meant I actually slept very little. Sigh. However, it was seasonably warm here this weekend: mid-50's yesterday, high 40's today, so I wore shorts all weekend, yay! Walking the dog past shrinking piles of snow while wearing shorts made me unreasonably happy. I also made an early start in the garden: I turned over one bed, and planted snow peas. Just in time for possibly more snow, Wednesday night into…
