Spent a large chunk of my Independence Day in the car… Decided to hike Mt. Independence — a historic Revolutionary War site here in Vermont — but underestimated the drive time. 90 minutes? Nope. Try two hours each way. (Ugh.) No major complaints there though — the drive was certainly scenic (though I believe that […]
Too much going on here at the home front. Moving ish is taking its toll. What with “the complications” and all. (If you don’t know, don’t ask…) The past couple weeks have been hellishly exhausting though, that’s the one thing that is for 100% certain. No end of work on the Work front (which I […]
Early Saturday a.m. post… Trimming down the links in the sidebar; feels too much like clutter. Instead, thinking of just dumping links into del.icio.us and then install one of the myriad plug-ins for WordPress to add support for them. *shrug* A. has released my inner-chucker – – especially considering the up-coming move. ALSO: Realized last night […]
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.
