Col­lec­tion of thoughts and issues, as I work them out. These rarely have any chrono­log­i­cal val­ue, but just get fit in with the rest of things.

On Getting Things Done

I was prob­a­bly the sin­gle last per­son to get a copy of David Allen’s Get­ting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Pro­duc­tiv­i­ty. I had ordered a copy sim­ply because it did seem so pop­u­lar. I usu­al­ly steer clear of the self-help and busi­ness pro­duc­tiv­i­ty sec­tions of the book­store. How­ev­er, the peo­ple who were talk­ing about… Con­tin­ue read­ing On Get­ting Things Done

The Coal Men Play Richmond

Ear­ly last month, my broth­er, Dave, and his band mate Dave Ray trav­eled up to Rich­mond to play a Coal Men show at the Ash­land Cof­fee and Tea House. I was­n’t sure what to expect when Dave C. told me that the bass play­er, Hitch, would­n’t be able to make it. Most trios have to… Con­tin­ue read­ing The Coal Men Play Richmond

Surprise Birthday Party

Upon return­ing to Rich­mond after the VA Beach Half-marathon, we were pret­ty much in the mood to take it easy. We spent most of the time here around the house, all being pret­ty tired. Mon­day morn­ing was labor day, and Jason J. treat­ed the house to a big stack of waf­fles. Now, I hear that… Con­tin­ue read­ing Sur­prise Birth­day Party

On A Break From Vacationing

Well, we made it back to Rich­mond late last night and were safe­ly back at our jobs today. What was sup­posed to be a relax­ing trip to Ten­nessee to help sort through some of Ange­la’s old things turned out to be a full on mov­ing expe­ri­ence! We got most all of her par­ents’ things from… Con­tin­ue read­ing On A Break From Vacationing

On The Move

Well, first, I hon­est­ly feel like I owe the world an apol­o­gy for not writ­ing more. It has been insane­ly busy the past week at work for a vari­ety of rea­sons I’m not going to go into, main­ly becuase I’m not at work now and I don’t want to think about it. I’ve got some… Con­tin­ue read­ing On The Move

Heat Exhaustion Exhaustion

Well, last night was, uh, uncom­fort­able here at home. With the air con­di­tion­ing out and the tem­per­a­tures still being in the triple dig­its until mid-evening, it’s kind of like liv­ing in a sauna. It’s bad enough on Angela and I, but poor Har­ry and Mag­gie have it the worst. Yes­ter­day, while we were at work, Ange­la’s… Con­tin­ue read­ing Heat Exhaus­tion Exhaustion

Like Living In An Oven

Well, it’s around 5:30 pm here in Rich­mond, and it’s still 100° out­side. I haven’t been post­ing much at all here or even to Flickr in the past few weeks. I wish I had a good excuse, but for right now, I’m just going to say that it’s because my brain is melt­ing. I’ve been… Con­tin­ue read­ing Like Liv­ing In An Oven
