it’s still raining. and windy.
And here we are in the wind and rain:
There was a big huge windy blow today, coming from the ocean, but that didn’t stop us from touring the oceanside. At one point we came across a local television station filming near the beach for the nightly, and they interviewed us standing near the ocean […]

Kramer and I are on vacation this week, in and around Portland and then up to Seattle where her brother lives. We’re driving around, with no real plan besides having a nice time.

sausage
I’m already thinking of how to have my deer processed this year. The boys (brothers and dad) usually get me a whole deer, and I pay for the processing. They usually give me the small one, and I can barely eat the whole thing each year. Some of my friends rebel and say they’ll come […]

me: Yes, in high tech. Computers.
driver: This your first time in Jerusalem?

So I was walking around the old city today with a colleague who hasn’t been to Jerusalem before. I’ve done this enough times now, showing a new person around the old city, that I’ve got a little routine down — first through the market, then to see Jesus’ tomb at the Church of the Holy […]

I had a nightmare last night.
The last time I was in Germany for work, my coworker Christine and I were traveling together. On the way home, the ticket agent gave us our passports back to the wrong person - I had Christine’s, she had mine. We didn’t know this as we were […]
happy birthday to me
My birthday was at the end of July, and a few days before my birthday my boss came into my office for a small chat. One thing led to another, and at some point during the meeting I said to her, “You know what my ideal job would be? Chief technical guru for all of […]

Some time ago now, long ago enough for it to be safe to write about, I was training someone. I have been doing my job for seven years and am well suited to it. As part of the training, the person accompanied me on an analysis meeting, his first one, and I was leading the […]
