In case anyone cares or bothers to really use the Internet during a three-day weekend, I will be taking advantage of the downtime to back up the server and upgrade its OS. The only side effect I can tell of … Continue reading →

I finally sold off my VW Golf GL for good tonight. At least I got cash on the barrel head for it…which was more than I can say the damned car did for me in its last five years. Hell, … Continue reading →

Let’s see, in the marriage department (of my life) they’re in fourth place with their 16th wedding anniversary today. I don’t count our parents because I wasn’t there nor did I have to bring a gift! As for number 16’s … Continue reading →

Somara had her first post-op check up, hopefully the only one, probably not when it comes to doctors with this matter. Initially, the surgery seemed like a push because she has still been experiencing pain in the same regions. It … Continue reading →

Sonia’s daughter now returns to the Prime Number Club today! Maybe she gets the day off  from school, one can hope, especially when she’s a kid.

Good gravy! I wish he mentioned this earlier because we all went to Thor last night (review later) and it never came up. Then “boom!” there’s this blurb in iCal from Somara I had to verify. Now I feel like … Continue reading →

Today has been off to a rough start for what could’ve been a nice, introspective vacation day I usually take: reflect on where I’ve been, think about where I may be going and whether or not it’s time to move … Continue reading →

Just a friendly reminder and to get a quick post up before I go catch up in a flurry of writing tonight. Make sure you have the time post in 2013 since I owe some of you a wedding.

He’s here in Austin a couple more days but I managed to have dinner with him and his older daughter Evie. The young lady was quite entertaining because she doesn’t suffer fools gladly. While the two of us were waiting … Continue reading →

Last Friday, there was a minor panic with the mortgage. I stupidly misplaced it in the bathroom at work and didn’t realize it until later on. Being a fan of transparency whenever possible, I informed Somara immediately when my search … Continue reading →

I need to ask my Japanese-speaking co-workers since I can’t make out emotion easily in their language. Meanwhile, much as I admire Japan’s precautions for earthquakes and other natural disasters, their reputation for downplaying the severity of meltdowns is rather … Continue reading →
