There’s an early baseball game today, which makes parking problematic, so I took the bus to work today. While waiting for the bus this morning, I saw a car parked in the no-parking area of the bus stop across the street get booted. That spot happens to be right in front of a coffee shop, [...]

Today was… today
Saturday, September 26, 2009
Today:
1. Target. I wanted caulk, but turns out they don’t sell caulk.
2. Home Depot. Got the caulk. I’ll be recaulking my shower next weekend. I’m looking forward to it. No, really. I am.
3. Food shopping.
4. National Book Festival. Last year was miserably hot. This year was climatically wonderful, cool and a bit rainy. I [...]
Saturday Morning Questions
Saturday, September 26, 2009
Why do I have a sore throat? No, no, this will not do. I don’t want a sore throat.
Where is the spider that keeps building webs that I keep walking through in my apartment? No, no, this is totally unacceptable. If he can’t keep to the corners, he’s got to go. Bad spider. Ambition is [...]

Hives, condos, and spaghetti squash
Tuesday, September 8, 2009
Another day, another doctor. He was nice. He specializes in hives/swelling. It’s his thing. He’s done quite a number of studies on it with Johns Hopkins. Anyway, based on my symptoms and history, he suspects that my immune system is attacking itself, and that’s the cause of my problems. He drew some blood for some [...]
Field Trip
Wednesday, September 2, 2009
Field trip today. A bunch of us had to go down to Dahlgren for some software training. It was fun to get out of the office and out of DC for the day, even if the training was kind of boring. And even if I ended up sitting next to Mr. Negativity who whispered to [...]
