This week we dealt with a leak in the roof, a leak in the kitchen sink, and a leak in my car. The roof is covered because we just got a new roof last month. The sink needed a new…

Short week of work. I took a couple days off and we drove up to Philadelphia to spend some time at the Christmas Market and visit a few favorite spots in the city. Because the wife is off work for…

Fairly uneventful week at work. Virtual holiday party, trivia, and a happy hour definitely made me feel festive though. We did our annual Northern Virginia Tacky Christmas Lights tour. Saw some great ones this year. For anybody interested, here is…

I had my last final of the semester this week. Grades were done this weekend and I got an “A” in both Cybersecurity and Identity Management; I even got 100% on my 12 page research paper. Hooray and phew! Now…

This week’s lack of much to post about brought to you by: studying for two finals and finishing a research paper. I did have a wonderful anniversary celebration with the wife this weekend though. We celebrated our 26 years of…

Short week of work because I took time off for Thanksgiving. We all drove down to North Carolina to visit my dad, aunts, and uncles. It was a reeeeal long drive on Wednesday, but worth it to see everybody on…

This week really flew by. Busy work (again), busy school (again), and just a lot of little things happening around the home front too. We had an all-hands meeting at work. One of the other managers and I hosted for…

Lots of focus on work and school this week, so I mostly just unplugged in the evenings. The wife and I have been getting up early to do longer walks with the dogs, so I’ve been physically tired as well.…

If you didn’t read my last post, I had a WordPress emergency. I’ve gotten it back to about 90%, but the most recent images are in a strange state. I have to decide what (or if) I want to do…

I’m really enjoying the Fall colors this week. Fall is my favorite time of year and October is my favorite month. The wife, the son, and I picked up some Philz coffee and went for a walk through Four Mile…

Unlike last week, this was a pretty busy week. Work and school were pretty typical, but we did a lot at home. My birthday was last week, so the family spoiled me with presents and cake. We got to go…

Just a regular old week of work, school, and home life. I made French onion tater tot casserole this weekend, which was a hit because there were no leftovers. We went for a nice walk through Four Mile Run in…

Busy week of work. We’re re-focusing on some of the basics and trying to get everybody on board with some of the changes happening around the office. I love the direction we’re going and I see our team being very…

This week was simultaneously long and went by quickly. I guess it *felt* long during the week, but when looking back it went by quickly. Lots of business at work and home. At home we have a couple projects in…

Not a whole lot happened this week. Work, homework, and lots of coughing (allergies or COVID remnants or a combo). My boss came out to our area this week, so we had a team lunch and a good strategy meeting…

I had my second aggravating trip to the DMV this week. I bought my car at the end of the lease. The leasing company didn’t add the new loan company to the title. So I have to go through that…

First and foremost, this is my 100th post in the 100 days to offload challenge. I looked back at the first post which was dated April 2021. However, I had actually migrated all those posts from another site I was…

The son and I went to see Rogue One at the IMAX theater in Tyson’s Corner. It was re-released for an anniversary and it was amazing. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed that Star Wars movie. And on IMAX?…

I still tested positive all week for COVID. Fever was gone, but my head was (is) still stuffy. I also discovered that I tire very quickly. I worked from home Monday and Tuesday and went into the office on Wednesday.…

Well, I did it. I went and got COVID. Two years of dodging the bullet, all while working in a facility with high incidents of COVID. I suppose it was only a matter of time. So yeah, my week was…

Short week of work for me. I took Thursday and Friday off so the wife and I could take a quick overnight trip to NYC. The daughter bought tickets for “Into The Woods” but didn’t want to leave her brand…

Quite a busy week. It started off with a sick cat. We found him in the closet, laying on his side in a puddle of his own urine. The vet wanted to send him to an emergency vet for x-rays,…

The wife, the daughter, and I saw “Six” at the National Theater this week. What a crazy fun show. Based on the lives and wives of Henry VIII, but in a super artistic and modern way. The music was great,…
