The music I’m playing is really frustrating, because the volume gets really quiet (the song is quiet, not the volume), and then goes up to a crescendo suddenly. I need to be Zen, let go of the volume control, and let the music happen. It doesn’t help that our heater takes off like an airplane… Continue reading April 25, 2023

I listened to a lot of CGP Grey last night. A LOT. Most of it was good, but one of the last ones I listened to had him advising that we break up the weekend and move one of the days to Wednesday for a more even distribution of work days. Although I saw his… Continue reading April 24, 2023

The grass is super green after the last couple days of rain. I love it. And I’m going to continue to love it all the way up until I have to mow. The end of Star Trek: Picard was heartwarming, and I just soaked in the nostalgia for an hour. It was nice to see… Continue reading April 21, 2023

Tonight we say goodbye to Star Trek: The Next Generation in the form of Star Trek: Picard. I well and truly think this will be the last adventure of the crew of the Enterprise-D. Star Trek: Picard has been a bumpy ride overall, and I have my criticisms, but I’m just putting that all away… Continue reading April 20, 2023

Taxes=done. I reversed my former strategy, where I would berate myself for procrastinating up until the last moment, that or force myself to do it like January 20th. Both methods caused me unnecessary stress. This new system is much better – my tax situation is not complicated, it takes like 45 minutes to do them,… Continue reading April 19, 2023

I picked up new books over the weekend, and spent a fair amount of time at the Franklin Library, given that the weather was not accommodating for outdoor activities. I have a favorite chair that I choose regularly, and I like to sit there, read, and watch out the window. I read an article about… Continue reading April 17, 2023

Ah, working in government. Where all your leaders can be changed all at once, and you just gotta accept the change with a smile and a handshake.

I’ve got a cat at my feet, begging for treats, just the same as yesterday. It’s my privilege to be able to dispense the many treats. I’m hoping to go out early on a weekend day here soon and drive with the convertible top down someplace. I did that at least a couple times over… Continue reading April 12, 2023

Yes, let’s have this weather all year. I promised I wouldn’t spend all my time talking about weather. Yesterday I took my speedy bike, Redemption, out for a roll. So far this season, I’ve been taking short simple bike strolls, which are my low speed jaunts – and great fun, too, but it’s one of… Continue reading April 11, 2023

Next year will be another total eclipse! Book your trips now! (Seriously, I plan to go to see it in the place where total darkness will be achieved.) Yesterday was really nice, and I was able to enjoy it without an asterisk, like Saturday. On Friday, I had round three of my Dental Implant Adventure,… Continue reading April 10, 2023
