Journaling, photos, letters home, and other little mementos to remember me by.
Damn but Flickr is fast… Caught a plug on B^2 yesterday for a Flickr pool called “Stick Figures In Peril” and decided to add my shot (above) of the sledders’ warning sign at Hubbard Park. A few hours later, it became my second most viewed photo. Neat. currently playing: Liz Phair “Divorce Song”
A. & I hit Wrightsville Reservoir today. I think this was our third time paddling there but the first time we managed to find our way down to the waterfall…: See the whole set in my Flickr stream… Honorary mentions that didn’t make the highlight reel: my pseudo-panoramic of the falls and our “vessel inspection” […]
Just realized that today is the expiration date on KetelOne’s AppleCare agreement. That marks three years with that machine. Seems like twice as many years. Or maybe I’ve just managed to cram six years of (ab)use into three. Anyhoo… Glad we snuck in under the radar and fit in one last repair this week. (Silly […]
43 Folders on “12 ways to better sleep” – – almost all of these are things I’d discussed with my doctor last year when I had my last really serious insomnia bout. I’m right there with him on the melatonin, too. That always helps but I’ve heard you’ll want to be cautious with your long-term […]
First and foremost: A. & I will have a place to live! Our offer was accepted and the wheels are in motion to move back to Burlington. We’ll miss Barre. We will not miss our commutes. Despite the excitement, we kept it pretty chill tonight. A quick trip out for a celebratory dessert and then […]
As we’d made an offer on a place Wednesday afternoon and it was good through noon Friday (today)… A. & I are on the proverbial pins & needles plan waiting to hear back. The suspense is truly like a scraper on my stomach lining. Less than three official on-the-record hours to go.
In a moment of “purge mode”, A. & I decided to strip the slips out of our CD jewel cases and discard the cases themselves (the CDs have already all been ripped to MP3 and/or AAC and been scooted into books for easier storage and access). Turns out we were able to fill two garbage […]
Tonight, A. and I had different reaction to our latest round of house-hunting. She passed out. I sat down and looked over even more listings and crunched even more numbers. To put it bluntly: the Burlington-area market is nasty and stilted and tough. The feeling I get is that properties are over-valued but the supply/demand […]
Back from Philly Monday night… NCAA Lacrosse action did not disappoint. Cortland vs. Salisbury for the D3 final turned out to be the highlight game of the weekend, I think – – but it was also fuckin’ sweet to watch UVA chastise UMass for their Saturday-borne arrogance. See also: That said, it was good to […]
