Scout and I hopped in the car yesterday and drove on up to Illinois. My brother is back home for a few days before heading back to Iraq, so I figured it would be a good idea to come see him. Scout came along because I’m pretty sure Kecia would kill me if I didn’t [...]

Today marks the start of a momentous occasion: my return to normal-people work hours. It happened a week early, which is good and bad. On the plus side, it’s one less week of zombie hours. On the down side, I was planning on having some free days this week, so I’ll have to re-arrange some things. I [...]
Since the middle of July I’ve been working the most ridiculous schedule. I am working twelve-hour shifts, four days on, four days off. Yes, an eight-day work week. I started on a Monday. The next week I worked Tuesday-Friday. As the quicker among you have deduced: this means that several weeks after that, I had [...]
A few months ago I sprained my rotator cuff playing ultimate. that caused me to do a little digging to find out just what that injury was all about. I found that that it can take quite a while to heal back to 100%. I recall one source saying “up to six months.” I also recall [...]
So there I am, on my way home from a successful attempt at walking Scout around Piedmont park with Ollie and Hattie1. I’m driving down the road at a reasonable, and legal, speed. Somewhere in the 35-40mph range, I believe. All of a sudden, some middle-aged former hippie steps out into the street holding out [...]
It’s not an interesting day on the internet unless someone has threatened to sue you. Lately I’ve been in the market for a roommate. To facilitate that, I’ve been keeping an eye on Craigslist. Unfortunately, my user experience over there has been negatively impacted by one particular realtor. John Adams Realty seems to think it’s a [...]
Today was the first weekend of AFDC Spring League. Lots of fun. I ended up landing funny during the first game and doing something bizarre to my (right) shoulder. Smart Pete would have stopped playing, iced it, and rested. Smart Pete doesn’t play ultimate frisbee, though, so he was at home. Instead, I played the [...]
The sisters were in town this past weekend, which was great. On account of the new job, I wasn’t able to spend Friday hanging out, but we got lots of quality time in on Saturday and Sunday before they left. Reese is adorable, of course (would you expect any less out of a Holiday?). We went [...]
Kecia, Ara, and Reese have made it into town. We chilled yesterday after they got into town and watched every funny YouTube video ever. I’ve posted this one before, but it never gets old . . . Tomorrow I think we’re going to see what Reese thinks of the aquarium and hopefully get to see a law [...]

I was making good time this morning. I woke up basically when I wanted to, I didn’t waste too much time going through my daily website visits, and Scout was being reasonable. I was on my way out the door when I realized that I didn’t have my keys. I checked my desk. My keys were [...]
