Jen asked me if I could find a picture from one of our trips to San Diego. I found it quickly, but now I have to spend the next three months reliving the various trips via my Flickr account. I’ll see you all again after I work it out of my system… or after I get back from my upcoming totally unplanned, spontaneous trip back there.

Haiku for You #210
I hate it when summer ends, don’t you?
Another day past.
One day further from summer.
Heading for next year.
Still No Word
Alone
I am working from home today and my wife is not. It’s just me and the cats in the house.
Weird, huh?
Frost
I am working from home this morning, but my wife Jen is not. She left the house at about 8:00am. I walked her to the door and watched her go. When we first looked outside we saw it.
There was ice on the car.
October 15, 2024… the first instance of winter frost.
Damn it.
I hate winter.
Delivery Tomorrow?
Stressing Out
Work is stressing me out like mad today. I don’t know why. I have half a mind to crawl under my desk and hide until 5:30. I won’t, obviously, but… damn.
The upside is that the Bruins have a 1:00pm game which is about to start. Good! Unfortunately they are playing Florida… again… ugh. I hate the Florida Panthers. I hate that we can’t seem to beat them anymore. I am also just really tired of playing them all the time. Can we get someone else in here for a game instead?
Hopefully the Bruins will win big and it will calm my stressed out brain a little bit. We’ll see.
Holiday: But Not For Me
Today is the day that used to be known as columbus day, before those of us who actually care about other people decided that chris columbus was a dick and giving him a holiday was in bad taste. Now it’s Indigenous Peoples Day and I much prefer the sound of that.
Unfortunately, it’s not a holiday for me. I have to work. Worse, I have to work in the office. Worse than worse, I have a 9:00 meeting. I left home super early out of fear that traffic would make me late for the meeting. I completely forgot that most of Massachusetts is off work today and there was so little traffic that I was in the parking lot over an hour early.
Oops. At least I won’t be late for the 9:00am meeting, right?
Happy Indigenous Peoples day to all who celebrate. Also, chris columbus was a dick who “discovered America” through nothing more than incompetence. Let’s not give him any more holidays.
Good Night, Everyone
New York Blues
I love me some major league baseball, especially during the playoffs.
Unfortunately, there are major league baseball teams in New York and, as a Boston fan, New York sucks ass.
This year is kinda hell for me. In the American League Championship series we have Cleveland (good) vs the fucking New York Yankees. The one team I hate more than all other sports teams that I hate combined.
Over in the National League Championship series we have a double kick in the New York hating nuts. The Mets, the other current New York team that I hate with a burning passion, and the Dodgers, a team that isn’t from New York but used to be.
There are four teams left. Two are from New York, one used to be from New York, and the other is Cleveland.
Lets go… (sigh of frustration) Cleveland.
