You know, I realized yesterday afternoon that for the first hour or so after I work out at the gym, I feel remarkably more clear-headed. I suppose this is one more huge incentive to keep up the exercise. Perhaps with continued work the mental clarity will last longer.
I sure hope so

The hunt is on!
Sunday, February 26, 2006
So on Wednesday, Valerie and I are meeting with a realtor. I’m hoping, also, to talk to a lender tomorrow and discuss pre-approval and all that jazz.
Well, I thought I had more to say on the subject, but that’s really it. I’ll update as I have more to tell.
What I’m hearin’
Saturday, February 25, 2006
I just purchased two CDs yesterday - “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” and “Abbey Road” - both by the Beatles, of course.
Holy crap. They are both so incredible.
While I was already familiar with about half of the songs on each, some I’d never heard, or hadn’t heard in years. Hearing each album all the [...]
Tempus fugit.
Friday, February 24, 2006
Yesterday I had the longest day of work in my life. 14.25 hours, to be exact. I had to stay late to fix a problem I discovered, and it had to be fixed before midnight for reasons which would take too long to explain.
I was there until 10:15 pm.
I marveled at how quickly [...]
Lazig-na.

Or lasagna if you prefer.
Today I brought home-made lasagna to the office for the folks on my team, and it was a hit. I made the pasta from scratch, I made the sauce from scratch, and man was it all delicious…
I was pleased with the food, my team was pleased with the food, and I’m [...]
The Da Stinky Code
Sunday, February 19, 2006
So yesterday in the morning I finished reading The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. I read Angels and Demons last year, and I enjoyed it for the most part. The ending was weak, and I felt cheated by a poorly constructed about-face in one character’s personality, but I thought it was otherwise a decent [...]
Beer
Sunday, February 19, 2006
You know, it was less than a year ago that I couldn’t stand the taste of beer, yet a strange transformation has taken hold, allowing my taste buds to enjoy the complex flavors of good beer.
Tonight I once again savored the goodness of Rogue Hazelnut Brown ale, one of my favorite drafts served just right [...]
The definition of eager…
Wednesday, February 15, 2006
Today I may be finding out what my salary increase is, as well as my bonus for last year…This combined with my taxes to be completed by the end of the week should allow Valerie and I to start looking for a house in earnest. No more renting!
So here I am, waiting expectantly, hoping [...]
Neil.
Tuesday, February 14, 2006
Listen to the Neil Young song, “Like a Hurricane,” and tell me it’s great. Then I’ll laugh at you until I’m hoarse.
That must have been one of the crappiest songs I’ve heard in 5 years.
Let it snow…Finally.
Saturday, February 11, 2006
So it appears that there will finally be some serious snow in Virginia today. Took long enough, considering there’s only about a month left of winter…
And of course, it would just figure that the serious snow comes on a weekend with no chance of getting me out of work.
Nice to see either way, though.
