Fine-Tuning the Meat Suit

January 26, 2011

Ok, ok, ok.  I know it’s been way too long.  Sheesh.  I’ve been busy. Life is good, dear reader.  Busy, but very very good. So here’s the skinny for the past couple of weeks or so: I’ve been hiking (duh).  On the weekends.  Both days.  Lots of miles, lots of mountains.  Fifteen mountains and about [...]

EWR to DIA 1/11/11

January 11, 2011

I’m on a plane.  Again.  To Denver this time, for a conference-type thingie.  This big law firm has put together a three-panel presentation for its clients and attorneys tomorrow.  I’m sitting on the first two panels.  Should be interesting.  I suppose I’m a bit nervous – or rather, I think I should be nervous, but [...]

Relationships, Isolation and Balance

January 6, 2011

In the early pages of The Tao of Jeet Kune Do, Bruce Lee’s notes are quoted thus: Understanding oneself happens through a process of relationships and not through isolation. While I see some truth in that, I think I also need a balance of relationships and isolation.  Solitude is really what I mean:  I need [...]

Normalcy, My Ass

January 4, 2011

Tonight was spent in – in blessed solitude.  Had dinner with Scott (as per our usual Tuesday routine), but instead of going to the Starbucks on 17 and ogling the baristas or Campmor across the road and ogling the gear, I came home and took care of one or two things on my list.  I [...]

2555 Means Something, But I Don’t Know What

January 3, 2011

Life is good, dear reader:  life is good. And busy.  Hoo-boy, is it busy.  What a great weekend.  I climbed North Dome and Sherrill on Friday with Heather, Tom, Debbie, Doug (whom I sort of know from the forum but hadn’t actually met in person) and some dude named Ed.  After dinner and dropping Debbie [...]

Another Damned Update

December 14, 2010

I have Apocalyptica playing in the background right now.  A very sad version of “Master of Puppets” is currently playing.  Or maybe it’s just sad because the last track was “Farewell”, which (imho) is a sad song. I don’t know – have a listen and you tell me, dear reader.  I think I’ve posted that [...]

#2528

November 30, 2010

I feel like writing and I don’t feel like writing tonight, dear reader.  Physically, I feel like writing.  I wish I knew how to play the guitar or piano or some instrument with my fingers.  The only thing I can play is the goddamned QWERTY keyboard, and nobody wants to hear a recording of that.  [...]

Quick Update

November 23, 2010

Yes, yes, I know, dear reader:  it’s been far too long.  How’ve you been? So.  The last two weeks.  Here’s a quick run-down of what I’ve been up to, then I’m off to read my book (The Algebraist by Iain M. Banks): Got back from Taiwan and haven’t stopped moving.  Barely had time to do [...]

Beggars Banquet

November 10, 2010

I am come from the shores of Perelandra, where the soft honeyed fruits drip their nectar on my lips with naught but the slightest pressure from my fingertips.  It is the place called Elysium by some, and I speak now of ambrosia.  Others call it Venus, though I know not their word for its fruit. [...]

Jet Lag?

November 9, 2010

It’s 5:30-something in the morning.  And I didn’t just wake up.  My plane landed Sunday late in the afternoon; I was up until around 11 on Sunday night and slept the day away on Monday.  I got up Monday evening around 5:30 and did my laundry and ran some errands.  Stopped by Scott’s place to [...]
