    Day Trip: Nambe Lake

    by  •  • Roadies • 1 Comment

    Traditionally, each July 4th, I’ve found myself yearning to get out and find somewhere to visit or a trail to hike. This year was no different, except I am not sure of the mental state of this docile midlifer on Independence Day when, on Monday morning, I arose fairly early, wavered a while about...

    Jazz and the Landings

    This morning at work, to quell the mood of a Monday, I put my earphones on and fired up Pandora to listen to my Dave Koz station. And for a moment, I was back in Marin County. I was in a cool fall evening, in a moment when the sky was a deepening purple...

    Today, it was a Monday. And on top of being a Monday, about 4 this afternoon while we were at work downtown, it started to rain on our locale heavily, and that little rain event hung around for a good long while. Thankfully, it cleared up before 7 PM so that the Isotopes baseball...

    Storm’s A Brewin’

    It is 8:15 PM and tonight there is no baseball on the tube since it is the day after the All Star Game. It is the proverbial All Star Break, which means the baseball addicts cannot watch professional baseball. It’s okay. This evening, the sky over the mountains to the east coalesced into a...

    Destination: Silver City III

    I slept in this morning until 8, and went downtown to get a hearty breakfast. The cafe that was recommended to me was closed, but there was a fine greasy spoon right by it that had exactly what I craved- a ham and cheese omelette, juice, coffee, and toast. I walked around downtown and...

    Flotsam

    Today was a good day, although it started with the sky so melancholy that it quietly cried for a spell before the sun fully awoke and worked on cheering everyone up. I got up during its sadness and felt fall chill throughout the house and pet the kitties before I headed to church and...

    Another weekend closes down. I am entering this post after finishing up a good 7 hours of being at work staring at the project that won’t build itself. Not all of this time has been spent on programming. I am still in a mental fog from sleep hunger and whatever else is stifling my...

    On Friday morning, our team arose for our last full day in Puerto Rico, and again, we were happy to enjoy the day primarily as tourists. After a cheery breakfast in the facility’s cafeteria which was followed by the morning’s devotion, our group boarded the three vans and under sunny skies set out north...

    Puerto Rico, Day 8

    On Thursday, our group got to take a break during the day from regular work activities, and enjoy some time playing tourists.  It was also a special day for us because two people with us had decided to get baptized when we went to the beach- and today was beach day. After breakfast, we...

    Puerto Rico, Day 7

    by  •  • LifeStuff • 0 Comments

    After maintaining decorum by posting notes five nights in a row while in Puerto Rico (6 if you count the day before we left), I ran into a mental block called tiredness and stalled on my up-to-the-day reporting.  What follows is my effort to recover my memories of what happened on day 7. Day...
