Think Happy Thoughts

January 29, 2010

Well, this one’s for you, Scott.  And everyone else out there who texted, emailed or whatevered something along the lines of “where’s my em-effin blog post, em-effer?” I’m tired.  Work is very busy right now.  I’m working on a Taiwanese proxy solicitation and it’s eating up my time like crazy.  And I really don’t want [...]

Turned A Corner

January 26, 2010

At least, I think I have.  Maybe this would be more properly entitled “Turning A Corner” – I’m not sure. For a little longer than the last two weeks, I’ve been feeling a bit off.  Less self-confident than normal.  Kind of an irrational insecurity – I don’t really know how to describe it.  Being nervous [...]

How To Blow The Ole Engine Out

January 19, 2010

I think I’m going to be taking it easy for a little while.  I spent the first couple of weeks of the month trying to get myself back into high gear, but I think I ended up just spinning my wheels and effing up my spiritual connection.  My ego is starting to resurface.  Nothing I’ve [...]

MLK Day Off

January 18, 2010

I’m off today because the market is closed.  It’s like found money: I wasn’t expecting a day off anytime soon. Saturday I climbed Wittenberg and Cornell mountains.  I met and conversed with five different people.  Two guys in their late 40s or early 50s who were out to do some winter camping for the weekend [...]

Today’s Hike: 1-16-2010 Cornell & Wittenberg

January 16, 2010

Today I’ll be hiking Cornell and Wittenberg mountains.  They’ll be numbers 18 and 19 of my 35 Catskill winter peaks.  I have 10 trips left and 10 weekends before March 22d. I’m off on Monday for MLK Day, so I’ll be able to get a bit ahead of schedule, I hope. View Larger Map

Happy 101 Award

January 14, 2010

The other day, The Naked Redhead nominated me for a “Happy 101 Award” because she thought it was “hilarious to do so”.  This is kind of like a blogger chain-email thingamabob (I think).  TNR was nominated by Alex over at The Tell Tale Blog, and I was named in her post.  I think pingbacks are [...]

Montage

January 12, 2010

This will hopefully be short.  I just finished Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds.  It was pretty excellent.  I’m glad I’m done, because now I can get back to regular life sans story-obsession.  I’ll probably bring Hemingway’s short stories to work tomorrow for lunchtime reading – I doubt I’ll get too swept away with that. Big [...]

Too Bad

January 8, 2010

I’m doing it again.  Reading.  Fiction.  Science fiction, to be exact. And I’m enjoying it. It’s 12:28 and I’m struggling to write this because I want to get back to my book.  This doesn’t bode well, dear reader.  I’ve things to accomplish and I’m not sure that I won’t get sucked in to this novel [...]

On Procrastination

January 6, 2010

I’ll tell you about it tomorrow. *** The word “procrastination” is a combination of two Latin words:  pro = “for”, cras = “tomorrow”.  For tomorrow. *** Seriously, I feel like I’m back in college.  I was really hoping to hit the ground running this week, but something’s kind of holding me back.  I don’t know [...]
