(Flags hung on the front of our house… Soon to be unfurled again!) It’s Memorial Day Weekend! We’re planning to get together with Jen’s family, and my sister and family this Sunday over in Buffalo. It’s the official start of summer! But it’s also a time to remember the people who selflessly have given their…
Personal
Earth
I’ve been watching Star Trek a lot again (my Sabres are done, so… I have more viewing time.) 🙂 I love the stories… I love the idea of space travel. I even love the idea of alien worlds and cultures. Pretty neat. I have a nifty screen saver that shows a real-time satelite view of…
Musicality
It’s been a long time since we have done a “real” basic gig. Well, we did do one retreat weekend in early February, and before that we did 8 or 9 Christmas concerts… but I can’t actually remember the last time we just did a concert of our music. Tonight we’re going to be doing…
Air Conditioner Installed!
Today is a special day for me. Every year I both rue the day, and am elated on that same day. Today I installed my window air conditioning unit in my office. And I turned it on. 🙂 IT’S SO AWESOME IN HERE!!! COOL AND DRY…. AWESOME!!! 🙂 The other day I like is when…
All Good Things…
Well, the time has come… the playoffs are over, and the Sabres are headed home for the summer. All good things eventually come to an end. Click the photo above for a little tribute video to the 2007 playoff… beard. 🙂
An Eulogy
Last night I dreamt that I was a member of the Buffalo Sabres. We were at some awards presentation. I was dressed in my full uniform, as were my team mates. I know for sure Ryan Miller was there, but I forget the other guys faces. All were bummed. Most faces were sullen, gloomy… although…
More From The Starfish and The Spider
I mentioned earlier that I would be sharing some quotes from the book I have been reading. The Starfish and the Spider is about two different ways to approach organzing people. One way is to have a structured organization with centralized leadership, like a spider whose functions are all tied into its head. When the…
Ready For Vacation
Tomorrow we head off for a week of family vacation. We have not done that as a family of six. We have with five, when Kirstie was a tiny baby, but not as a unit of six. We’re looking forward to it. Today I realized that I am really looking forward to it. It’s just…
Another Example of My Weirdness
Earlier this week I got up early to go for a walk, as I have been doing since the beginning of 2007. But not long after I got up, I realized that I really don’t have to do this anymore. I forced myself through my routine, and even left the house. But my walk was…
Relocation
I had to relocate my office today. My computers were finally overheating (one shut down a couple times while it was working) and so I figured I should give them a rest. I shut down most everything, and transferred my mail to my laptop so I could work off of that. It really didn’t work…
