The weather, though warmer than I prefer, is nice today, so I headed out to be one with the city. Cultural Tourism DC hosts WalkingTown DC, a chance to explore various areas of the city. This weekend is the spring WalkingTown, and I decided to join one of the tours: Saint Mary’s Episcopal Church. Saint [...]

Alone… so alone…
Wednesday, May 27, 2009
My officemate has a telecon this morning, and so he’s got his phone on speaker. I’m not sure what time it starts, but people are just phoning in now, and it’s quiet except for the occasional “joining conference” the system says as people phone in.
One person joined the conference and it was quiet for [...]

…[W]e can not dedicate… we can not consecrate… we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what [...]

I was looking over my credit card bill online before paying it, ensuring there was nothing unexpected there. I have my cell phone bill automatically paid by [...]
The horrible, awesome day
Wednesday, May 6, 2009
We’ll start with the horrible. It’s good to get the bad out of the way immediately, and also it happened first and I’m a fan of chronological order.
First off, the dentist, to fix the tooth that broke over the weekend. It was not a happy morning. The appointment was at 7:30 this morning, nice [...]
