There’s something almost transcendent about working on computer stuff and listening to techno music, that beat driving you with whatever you’re doing.  It also helps that I’m downing a Grande skinny cinnamon dolce latte from Starbucks as my first dose of caffeine of the day, so that’s likely helped my blood get pumping a bit, [...]

Well, Hanne and I were offered the apartment, but we’re uncertain if we’re going to take it yet, so I’m going to stop by after work and take another look at it before I make and “executive decision,” which just means that Hanne is going to let me have the last word.  We both think [...]

To say that Hanne and I went apartment hunting today would be a slight misnomer, but we did look at two apartments together, but I think it was more of a showing than anything else.  You see, while Hanne and I have discussed moving in together at times in the past, we hadn’t really gotten [...]

I’ve come very close to buying an iPhone lately.  The idea of having not only a new phone that has full Internet connectivity (and if you’ve tried browsing the web on a “regular” cell phone, you know what “full” means) is very appealing, but with easy access to my email and calendar it pretty much [...]

I’m pretty much feeling better now–that is, I can breathe again and I’m no longer lying in front of my TV moaning how I wish I would just die.  Now granted, in the grand scale of illnesses a little cold is really not all that bad, but since I have no comparison to a “real” [...]

Selling organic and all-natural foods and no big soft drinks is great for a grocery store like Whole Foods (formerly Wild Oats).  But only stocking homeopathic medicine and nothing like Nyquil?  That’s just plain kooky.
Hanne and I walked to the store to get stuff for dinner so I can have a nice meal with a [...]

Thanks to my continuing cough, I no longer sound like Johnny Cash.  I’m now in full on Barry White mode.

I hate flying.  There just isn’t a word I can really describe how I feel about flying, even though I love traveling.  If there were a way to rapidly travel without boarding an aircraft and sitting stationary for several hours in seats designed for an averaged size person of the 18th century, I’d be all [...]

Best parts of the Boston trip so far:
-Flying out of Newark and seeing both the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty, albeit from the air. That’s as close to New York City as I’ve ever come, but I’m happy I got glimpses of things I’ve read about my entire life
-Getting hands-on time [...]

Happy New Year!  Better late than never, I say.  I didn’t make any real New Year’s Resolutions as I so rarely do except to start running more.  The time of year that just passed is tough on the waistline, and while I’ve been antsy about my weight recently, I have yet to make a concerted [...]
