12 Sept 2016

Welcome back, us. We hared off to Atlanta for the weekend to visit our friends Jen and Kris. We've not visited since their wedding, four or so years back, so this was lovely! We drove down on Friday (12 hours door to door). Saturday we went to the Chihuly in the Garden exhibit at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. The installation in the Japanese Garden was my personal favorite. I've always had a soft spot for the suprises to be found in meticulously kept tiny gardens. Sunday we wandered around quaint downtown Roswell. There was shopping for some, and dogs to…

Happy Birthday, Pete! * * * It's been a fun week. It was a three day work week for me - I took off Thursday and Friday to burn some hours and make a five day weekend happen. I got some chores done. We went fishing (and Marcia caught a small-ish big mouth bass that we gave back to the lake): And on a long walk around the neighborhood, Lexi was perplexed: The Fitbit says I did five days of exercise, although I only did three dedicated exercise days, truth be told. But the work counts. Sadly, so do the…

Well, another busy week gone. Sadly, I'm a cranky bastard today because they had a late-night party at the pool last night that ran until midnight (a bit later, actually) with loud music.

If they can't control the volume, I don't want my HOA fees going to that sort of event. The restless first part of the night leaves me feeling altogether unrested. Sigh. The good news is that next weekend is the last weekend for…

A busy week at work, a spot of fishing untroubled by fish, some chores and some shopping. That's the week in a nutshell. * * * DoD reported no new casualties in the last week. Ciao!

[Muttered, from the stack of bodies on the cart]: I'm not dead, yet! In the week leading up to last Saturday, I had five good days of exercise: pushing pretty hard. Then on the Saturday, I spent most of the day working out in the sun on an August summer day, and I destroyed myself. Lawns, yardwork, and deck/furniture cleaning. All that I did on Sunday last was relax, and crawl up the stairs to bed. I also took it far too easy this last week: just work, no working out to speak of. It's too hot for nearly everything.
