Here’s the score at the end of the sixth inning: 1 temporary job (for the nonce), 1 face-to-face interview from yesterday’s phone interview and still waiting to hear on the 1099 job in Twinsburg. Looks like the other job is a strikeout, since I should have heard today and I didn’t. I was listening to … Continue reading »

Getting Closer to my Home …
Well, yesterday’s trip was interesting. When I got to Burbank Airport and checked in, etc., etc., I no sooner sat down by my gate when the person behind the counter announced that the flight had been oversold and that they needed eight volunteers (shaddap, Kirby, jes’ shaddap!) to take different flights. They offered a travel … Continue reading »
And In The End …
Well, Calicon is more or less officially over, at least for me. I leave from Burbank today. Those who are leaving from LAX decamped last night to another bivouac location more convenient for tomorrow’s manouevers. I’m standing lone picket (so to speak). This morning, I stood looking at my room as I closed the door … Continue reading »
Highway to the Danger Zone …
The title is tongue in cheek; I was thinking of “Top Gun” and “I feel the need — for speed!” Yesterday, I was on a plane (three of them, actually) for the first time since the 80s. What I didn’t realize, as I anticipated this process with some trepidation, was how much I’d enjoy it. … Continue reading »
I Love it When We’re Cruisin’ …
Well, I have posted two more stories on my website. They’re here and here. The first one (warning: canon character death) is a straight squad story. The second is the continuation of the story I started a couple of weeks ago. Hope you like them. I have two more stories substantially completed, and am working … Continue reading »
Coming up …
Wish I could embed this, but the trailer for Harry Potter 7 (Deathly Hallows, Part 1) is here. It looks awesome, but so did the trailer for Half Blood Prince and I probably liked that movie least of the six that have been released so far. Hope this is better — it would be sad … Continue reading »
Feeling Stronger Every Day …
And smaller, too! I was in the Group Groove class on Saturday and I kept having to pull up my sweatpants because the waist was too loose … that’s a nice feeling. So I did measurements and am down (for the first time, really) in the waist area — for a total of six inches, … Continue reading »
Crimson and Clover …
Congratulations to Anamika Veeramani, the NE Ohio student who won the National Spelling Bee. She managed what the Browns, Cavs and Indians haven’t managed since I was 3 years old — she brought a National Championship to Cleveland. Let’s hope they don’t trade her to Denver for some kid who can’t read. (Thanks, Drew Carey) … Continue reading »
L’Air Du Printemps …
Well, it’s that time of the year again … when I sit at work looking out at a beautiful day and wonder “Okay, WHY am I sitting here looking at this through a window?” I don’t particularly want to be a responsible adult when this mood strikes. I have to; I’m the one who brings … Continue reading »
I Gotta Have Faith …
True on so many levels … I gotta have faith that the overwhelming majority of those I consider friends truly are — I’ve found at least one who’s not and it really hurts. I gotta have faith that I have some writing ability. I have real doubts in that area and it breaks my heart … Continue reading »
