Monday I’ll be leaving to drive back east, across this too-large country. It’ll be an adventure of sorts, but I won’t be dawdling in the least. There may be some pictures. This blog (and everything else on this box) will be down for a few days, as it sits in the back of a car …
You know how sometimes one has Unpreparedness dreams about theater? The show’s going up, and you don’t know your lines? I had a dream that was basically the opposite of that. I arrived at the theater (which was a dream version of NHS’s theater, for those who know it), and found that they were doing …
This is kind of hilariously misguided, I think. Also: moving east in two weeks. Looking forward to seeing folks.
Hah, PADI open water certification is to me! Finally. The water was horrible, in terms of visibility, so we could see the sunken Cessna only from about 2 feet. But the whole thing was pretty awesome, and I really enjoyed the instruments-only navigation at depth. In other news, I’ve had songs from The King and …
Things I love about working here: boss A comes back from a few weeks vacation, and says that things went fine, he just got back to find the airline lost one of his bags, and his car is missing.* Boss B says “I’m getting you a copy of Dude, Where’s my Car?.” * It’s OK; …

At the end of the driveway: a field full of fireflies, with lightning flashing over the next ridge. Finally, the rain that’s been threatening all day arrives, and it pours, and it pours, and it is still pouring.
Too much good in today to encapsulate it here, but suffice to say that I feel like life is happening again, things are moving forward, and I saw a fox this evening, thus confirming, by the hand of Nature, that today was, unambiguously, good. Also, does anyone in the Philly area want some kittens, at …
It’s a wonderful thing. I stood the other night up to my knees in water, with Allie, for a good long while talking as the sun set. We saw a shiba-inu. If I ever were to get a dog, that’d be the breed. Also, Princeton is a pretty great town, and I miss it. Tonight, …
I write this in the Denver airport; I am flying east, to be there for a week. I hope to see folks. Also, I finished Dracula last night. Quite good, though the entire role and character of Quincey Morris is underexplored and underexplained. I would love to see some sort of speculative backstory for him, …
