Hey, folks. I’m back in Bethesda, back from Ohio, but there’s not much going on at the moment, just a lot of end-of-the-year type stuff. You know, trying to figure out what business expenses one plans to polish off before the end of FY03, what to do about parties, that kind of thing. Hope y’all […]

So I was supposed to get away this weekend, but it’s a good thing I opted to stick around. Plumbers showed up this morning to fix the leaky water heater that’s been the bane of our basement for the last little while, and since the slumlord owner of the house is back in Ohio already […]

I just made an early New Year’s resolution: to stop using the word ‘rocks’ in this weblog.

So right before I left her place this afternoon, Kate slipped something into my coat pocket. “Something for the ride home,” she said. “Check it later.” I just did – somehow, this afternoon while we were in the Apple Store at Towson, she snagged me a $10 gift certificate to the iTunes store. I don’t […]

I know there was never really any doubt, but still: Return of the King was amazing. If it doesn’t win Best Picture and a whole bunch of other awards, they’ll have been flat-out robbed. This does, however, bring up an interesting debate question: which of the three movies was your favorite? There are so many […]

Huh, whaddaya know. It’s kinda like Coke Classic and New Coke: Ravens 35, Browns 0: Lewis Leads Ravens to Win Over Cleveland. (My girlfriend is from just outside of Baltimore and I, of course, am from Ohio. I like to say I’m one of the old-school Ravens fans. Not that I’m that interested in football, […]

This is insane. In the last couple of weeks, I’ve made repeated trips between DC and Ohio, DC and New York, DC and Baltimore… And I was planning on making a trip from Ohio to Chicago to New York to DC for New Year’s, but that one got whacked from the schedule largely due to […]

Back in Bethesda with Kate, getting ready to do Christmas shopping, and polishing up some client work. Aside from that, not much is going on! Oh, and taking pictures with the new camera, which is really very cool. More on this later.

That is the sound of my personal mental hard drive spinning down. Been sitting here in the Soho Apple Store for a while and am now very very sleepy. Incidentally, I am peeved that I can’t buy TurboTax 2003 here. For some reason they don’t have it yet. Grrr. I have numbers to crunch here, […]

I tell you what, this week in New York has taught me a lot of things about myself. For starters, a day spent toting my computer around on my backpack to work in a Barnes and Noble, a Starbucks, the Apple Store, and various places in between can be both very productive and very rewarding. […]
