Lyssa and I packed up our stuff and set out around 1100 EST5EDT on Saturday morning in the general direction of Rockville to Laurelinde’s place, where we picked up Cate an
- Life and sleep deprivation.
Disclaimer: I got three hours of sleep last night because my sleep schedule is screwed. This post will probably not make a whole lot of sense. Lyssa and I organized craft
- Such a beautiful weekend - seemed a shame to waste it.
After so many weeks of cold, bracing wind and a few days of snow, a weekend of bright sun and temperatures in the mid'70's seemed like an ideal time to get out a little an
- It's just as big as it needs to be.
After running around for much of Friday night running errands (like exchanging a hard drive for a faster model) and getting to bed later than expected, Lyssa and I slept i
- Remember when I said "'tis the season?"
Lyssa took sick last week. On Thursday she woke up having trouble breathing while I was in the shower, which threw our plans into a tailspin. I took a sickday and drove he
- 'tis the season once again...
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, sapient lifeforms of all ages: welcome to the holiday season. I just wish that it didn't involve so much road rage in the DC metrople
- Still catching up on last week.
Given everything happening in the days since Lyssa and I got married, I'm still catching up on lots of things, most of them work-related though there are a few things rath
- I can think of better ways to start the weekend.
I wish I could say that the weekend got off to a good start, but I really can't. I don't know of any better way to explain what happened, so I may as well just jump into i
- The clock keeps ticking.
This past weekend was the annual autumn celebration over at Hasufin and Mika's place, a get-together in which we get together to enjoy the coming of fall.. or whatever pas
- UPDATED: Busy life, busy times, and Greene County redux.
Work and life's kept me too busy to post much lately, so I'm trying to play catch-up in between driving all over creation for work and finishing preparations for the weddi
- Better late than never: the weekend in review.
While we didn't get hit by Hurricane Hannah, the DC metroplex certainly felt her wrath late Friday and all day Saturday. I don't want to say that it was raining cats and d
- Getting down to the wire.
Time's getting down to the wire and there's no escaping it. The wedding is now two solid months away and Lyssa and I are scrambling to get our plans in motion. Last week t
- Slight change of plans this weekend.
Last weekend wound up a bit in the air due to an emergency at the last minute - one of Lyssa's relatives died unexpectedly and the family was hastily reconvened for her fu
- Catching up before I go.
Work's had me running around a bit more than usual lately, which has put a serious crimp in my time to write, let alone keep up with current events. I don't know how much
- Hot, humid, and bored.
One thing about writing posts with Google Docs: You can't divide posts into a header and the part-behind-the-cut with it. With the advent of June in the DC area comes summ
- I nearly forgot to put a title on this post.
The way the last couple of weeks have been going, it's a safe bet that you can guess how Friday went. If you guessed 'more dental work', then you hit the nail squarely on
- Title restored - so how did I spent my weekend, anyway?
Unfortunately, I spent much of last Friday asleep, recovering after a routine filling went south and turned into an emergency root canal. I don't know what does it about t
- Chris and boys' weekend out.
Friday as a whole wound up being something of a comedy of errors - the first half of the day was supposed to be spent at the dentist's office having stage two of my emerge
- Another weekend in the nation's capital.
Aside from a few bouts of tenderness in the new dental work on Saturday, the pain and infection in that one particular molar are gone. Praise be to the gods of dental medi
- So, you're probably wondering where I've been this week...
...work, work, and more work have been taking up most of my time. By that, I mean that I'm logging anywhere from ten to sixteen hours every day, six days a week on this pr
- Ice storms, unexpected guests, and clear roadways.
Last Friday seemed to be the day of the ice storm that wasn't really. That morning, sure, the cars were coated with ice (as I discovered at the same instant that I found I
- Time Lords, like fine wines and Commodore-64's, get better with age.
On Friday the 15th I turned 30. I know that I didn't make a big deal out of it, and that wasn't out of any shame or wanting to keep things low-key as it was I've been real
- It seems that I'll be in town for a while, so I'll actually be able to post.
This is week four of my "three weeks out, one week in" work cycle, so I'll have much more constant net.access for at least a couple of days. I may as well take the time to
- A quick weekend recap.
Saturday was Pretend To Be A Time Traveller Day. I spent most of it constructing a new firewall and the evening prepping for the party over at Scraun and Fishy's. Lyssa wa

I've been sent on the road again for work, this time to the west coast, and the lovely region of California called Palo Alto. It's 0606 EST as I begin writing this from my
- I would've written something but there was this duck...
The past two weekends have been more or less non-stop running around so I haven't been writing about them lately. To make a long story short, Lyssa and I are fixing up the

...not Art Bell. It's me, the Doctor, checking in after an entire weekend on the road. At this moment I've found lodgings in a quaint little hotel about forty miles into t
- On the road again, and this time after not a bit of adventure.
I'm in the field again on assignment, this time well south of the Mason-Dixon line. Far enough south, in fact, that people actually have accents, and truck stops are the p
- The weekend of recovery in review.
As I've been talking about lately (probably to the point of annoyance), I underwent my second root canal last Friday, and I've been laying low to give myself a chance to r
- Weekend? There was a weekend and nobody told me?
It wasn't really like that, but it's my attempt at a silly subject line for today. Despite the large amounts of antibiotics and analgesics running through my biosystems in

Lyssa and I spent a good portion of Saturday sitting around relaxing. Lyssa had preordered the first season boxed set of Beauty and the Beast and we watched the first disc
