The day started out well enough – exchanged my 60gb iPod for an 80gb and got $70 back in the process (god love Costco’s exchange policy!). Got a new office chair, assembled it without incident and headed to a late afternoon meeting with a new client.  The meeting went well and then we headed to…

I took a late walk around the park this afternoon, just before dark, so it was kinda creepy, though all the snow everywhere helped light the paths a little better than they would have been without it.  As cool as the snow has been, I got a close-up look today at the havoc it has…

Today was quite a full and fun day.  The snow has accumulated so much outside that it looks like Whistler with all the trees’ branches heavy with thick blankets of snow, some of them bent over with the extra weight (more on that later).  I’ve been driving around with a toboggan in the back of…

It’s not often in life that reality imitates art or, in this case, the movies.  But, alas, today I did, in fact have, a made-in-Hollywood moment.  During my daily walk around the park near my house, I stopped to feed some of the critters – the black-capped chickadees, to be precise, who, as strangely as it…

Spending time alone can be so liberating and the best part is that there’s no need for any compromise whatsoever!  You can watch what you want on TV, eat what you want for dinner, get up and go to bed whenever you want and, as seems to be the case with me lately, wait until…

While it may seem strange to walk 15 minutes in the rain at 2am to seek out NesQuik to make chocolate milk, it is, nevertheless, what I’ve just returned from doing.  I think the Quik was just an excuse to go out for a walk when I felt I had overindulged in some very bad…

September 18, 2006 (12:29am) Yet another occasion of me sitting here typing in a 95-page Word document when I should be working or sleeping.  But, I’ll get to that later… Deidre got here on Thursday, the 14th and we’ve had fun taking tons of pictures per usual.  Friday, she took some pictures of me at…
