I woke up sore today from yesterday’s workout (a partially completed beast-mode in VR) and then stumbled around for most of the day. The weather started cold; I’d left some iced water in a cup next to the heater last night, and the water was still frozen this morning. But the sun came out, the […]

I tried to let my wife have a live-in this morning, but both girls were insistent on waking her up to give her the cards they’d made in school. Eventually I bundled them into the car and drove to get coffee, which meant I had to get macarons for the girls to placate them.

I went round to see my old manager for a few drinks last night, and woke up this morning on my couch, feeling parched. I’d only had three cans of IPA, but clearly that’s now enough to do me in.

I had a meeting to discuss the roadmap for a product today, and I would have just called into the meeting but one of my colleagues had flown in from New York so I thought I should make the effort too. It was … odd.

I skulked in my home office most of today, while the sun came out and made me jealous of the outdoors. Tomorrow I’m going back to the office for a few meetings, and because the constant hammering in the bathroom is beginning to drive me to distraction. That meant today I had to check things […]

I spent all day at my computer, with one quick visit to the basement to inspect some wiring, and I think as a result I end the data almost incapable of speech or thought. I did at least put the kids to bed without getting in a monumental huff, although my wife had to bear […]

This evening we booked flights back to Nova Scotia for my wife and daughters, their first visit back to Canada since 2019. I’ll be staying at home in Seattle and working, and on past experience that will be a somewhat gloomy month, moping alone in the house with nothing to do. Well, I suppose I’ll […]

I figured after a day in a room playing Blood Bowl, I should spend a bit of time with the family, so we headed out to Leavenworth. I’d hoped for an early departure but with both parents exhausted, we got on the road just before ten, which got us to Leavenworth for midday. The drive […]

I’m recovering now from the mental exhaustion of running the tournament today – with a last minute drop out and another last minute addition, we had 22 people playing (including me) which was a good lot of coaches, each bringing something slightly different.

Today I went to Office Depot and printed out all the coaches’ rosters: this took about twenty minutes because I couldn’t just tell the printer to print every file on my USB drive, I had to select them one by one, print them, and then print the next. But never mind; I got to buy […]
