getting old

Last Wednesday, I had an appointment with my YWCA trainer. While “we” were doing shoulder presses I felt something snap in my right shoulder and saw some stars. Trainer Lady feels the crackle in my shoulder and not only stops that particular form of torture, but advises that I see a doctor.
Pshaw! My shoulder has [...]

Re-entry

As many of you noted, it was a very fun weekend. Hard work and harder play. More fun than I’ve had in a very very long time.
I found re-entry into work to be a little difficult. Not because of the usual surreal experience of realizing that 24-hours ago I was somewhere else, surrounded by some [...]

Home again.

Regularly scheduled programming will resume tomorrow (with a little back-fill, eventually.)
It was a great weekend. Like one giant slumber party held around agonizing business meetings.
We were up yakking on Friday until 2:30, Saturday until almost 1:00 and Sunday night until almost 3:00 a.m.
I have at least 20 thank you notes to write for all who [...]

Xtreme Slumber Party Behavior

Note: This is back-dated. As such I summarized the 27th and will date it for the 27th, even though the events described extended well into the 28th. What fun. What craziness. What fatigue!
The Anniversary celebration went long tonight.
It was great to hear all the stories, but when you celebrate the lives and careers of 16 [...]

maturity: over-rated?

It was really good to be with my sisters again. KA and SW and I are sharing a room. Even though some of these women really prefer to have their own room, we feel the need to have that bonding time of drinking like fish in our room after the official end of the day.
Others [...]

The One Where I Wonder If I’m “Getting Better At It”

Note: This is a back-dated post. Written on the day but not published. Too much to do during that Assembly and not enough time to really reflect and edit appropriately. Not that I always do anyway. I’m publishing it because I want to mark where I start to notice what I think is a significant [...]

Off the road again

Sr. K arrived at the house this morning a little before 7:00. The car was packed (or so I thought. Forgot a few things, but nothing uber critical.)
We were on the road by 7:15 (after a stop for coffee.)
Lunch in Des Moines. Waved to the east at Churlita as we turned west on I-80. Made [...]

grammar plugin

Sometimes I think I’d like to have my own technical staff on call to make whatever little technical improvements I decide are needed, but don’t have the time to actually do myself. Here’s the short list.

A couple of navigation changes to my new template. A “home” function on the header when you navigate off the [...]

So Many Nights

I don’t know how I missed it, but my boys The Cat Empire have a new CD out there. It was my prize for getting all my work done.

They are seriously the most fun I’ve heard in a long time. Their sound just makes me happy. Even over a year after hearing them on Letterman [...]

Spring rain

We had a beautiful spring day here in the Twin Cities and a spring thunderstorm tonight, changing the face of the city; from grey and dirty and tired looking to green and fresh and full of hope.
And I was lucky enough to be out in it for a bit. I spent the morning at the [...]
