Monday – new work order system goes online. Things go smoothly, with only one or two weird glitches. Tuesday – trip to Columbia for Technology Roundtable. Listened to a presentation of the new state tech plan, which was an exercise in stating the obvious, even though I served on the committee that wrote the blame … Read More “Been a Heck of a Week” »

There were more art shows in town yesterday at which you could not shake a stick. How’s that for not ending a sentence with a preposition? John, Paul Wagenknect, and I had a quick couple of rounds of disc golf at Holmes Park in the morning. For the afternoon, Laura and I hit the art … Read More “Another Good Weekend” »
Everything posted from early April was a lie — at least, as far as the date is concerned. I’ve been offline for about two months because of several things – Digitalibiz didn’t believe I had paid my bill, then they changed the infrastructure so I couldn’t reach the site via FTP, then they changed the … Read More “Back in the Saddle Again” »
Yesterday certainly didn’t turn out like I had imagined. Laura decided to test drive convertible roadsters, and wound up buying one! We found a used Audi A4 convertible with only 13K miles. It seemed a shame not to buy it! Of course, we did test drive one other car – a used Mustang convertible with … Read More “New Wheels and Easter” »
The first day of spring break, and I’m out and about around town. Lunch was downtown at Trios (making Laura tremendously jealous), then I hit my favorite stops – the Map Shop, then Horizon Records. My final stop was Oshman’s Sporting Goods, where I bought a pair of hip waders. When I got home, I … Read More “” »
Another month (or two) has gone by without a post. It’s now the first of April and Spring Break, so I’m spending a few minutes updating things. I don’t want this to become one of those “abandoned blogs”. Same excuses apply — too busy or too lazy to update, plus I had about three-week stint … Read More “” »
I almost headed this “post mortem”, but decided that was a bit harsh. Valentine’s turned out fairly well this year. We had our fancy dinner at home Friday night, since we knew Saturday’s schedule would be a bit weird. It was a very relaxing evening at home after an extremely taxing week. Saturday morning we woke … Read More “Valentine’s Day Post Analysis” »
Two days and a surprise ice storm later, I’m finally back at work. Sunday morning we got up with no clue as to what was about to happen. By chance we watched the forecast, and was surprised to see an ice storm on the way. We did the emergency milk and bread thing at the … Read More “” »
The day first started with a round of disc golf with John and Richard at Holmes Park. I made a hole-in-one on the second tee. I had some other incredible shots, but had an equal share of really crappy shots, too. Laura reminded me that “Whad’Ya Know” was broadcasting from Clemson today. I had wanted … Read More “What a day it’s been!” »
Sometimes going on vacation does more harm than good, or, at least, plants evil seeds of dissatisfaction and desire. I now want a boat. Not a kayak or other paddling thing, but something with a motor. It doesn’t have to be a yacht, but I want something large enough to be comfortable, powerful enough to … Read More “” »
