Lunch Break

It’s Wednesday afternoon. My lunch break is coming to an end. If I were to sneak a post in before getting back to work, what would I write about?

I have no idea. My mind is a blank! So I guess we stream of consciousness this sucker? Ready… Go!

The Bruins beat the Red Wings last night. They play the Blackhawks tonight. Two teams that aren’t very good. Theoretically we should beat them both pretty easily. Last night they needed overtime to squeak out a win. Tonight? I’m almost afraid to watch.

If I could watch, that is. The NESN app is being a jerk. Well, I don’t know if it’s NESN or FiOS. I think it’s FiOS. It tells me I’m signed in, but when I try to watch something it tells me I’m not signed in and then won’t let me sign in. Maybe during tonight’s game I’ll pop in a single air pod and listen to the radio broadcast. I’m following each game but I am not listening to the goings on and I am starting to feel very much out of touch. I feel like I am too old and easily distracted to really give my full energy to a team that isn’t very good… lately they have been better but… yeah. They are currently in third place in the division so they are higher than a wild card seed for the playoffs. That’s good. Let’s keep it up, folks.

Current television binge watching projects:

Star Wars Skeleton Crew season 1
Silo season 2
What We Do in the Shadows season… 6? I think it’s 6. Only a couple more episodes before the series ends for good. All I can say is, BAT!
Better Call Saul season five. Two seasons left.
Gotham season 1. I hear it gets easier once you get past the first season. Here’s hoping that rumor is accurate. I want to watch this show but some of the episodes have been tough. Some of the acting is really bad. I don’t want to give any names because I am afraid Will Smith might slap me at the Oscars. Sorry. Just calling them as I see them.
Dark season 3. This one is a slog. I am having a really hard time getting through it, but I am determined to finish it.
Black Mirror. I don’t remember what season I am on, but I am having a hard time sticking with it.
Doctor Who, rewatching the last season to prep for this year’s xmas special.
The Walking Dead season 3. Rewatching along with the The ‘Cast of Us podcast. I fell behind by one week but I am caught up on both the show and the podcast now.

Seriously, does anyone really believe that Juan Soto is going to sign with the Red Sox? Seriously?

We are going to Vermont this weekend. I want to bring my new/ancient film camera but I can’t really see a time or place where I could use it. Maybe. We’ll see. I did order my first roll of 120 color film yesterday. It won’t be delivered until after we get back though. Oh well.

I have to buy a gift for our work yankee swap. It’s Tuesday. Holy crap that came up fast. Yikes.

Okay. Back to work, Robert.

Busy Morning

Back to work today, and it’s been a busy morning. There were a lot of things to unpack after the long weekend. Nothing bad, just lots of emails and things to discuss. The morning has flown by. Here we are, just after noon, and I haven’t posted anything to the blog yet! Insanity!

It is December. I need to come up with a music project for his month. I’ll probably get back to the old re-recording project thing. Who knows. Maybe I’ll roll that into February’s RPM Challenge somehow. Hmmm… things to ponder in the coming weeks.

Now that it is December I can officially say that we’re going back to Disney World next month. We’ve got that going for us at least. It’s almost time to pay homage to The Mouse again.

Until then just play your damn guitar, Robert.

Closing

Disney World announced today that they are closing the Muppet Vision 3D show at Hollywood Studios. That makes me sad. I love that goofy little 15 minute movie. I’m always down to see it when we’re at the park. Hopefully it will still be open when we go in January.

Back on Track

We’ve been home for about five hours now. Here’s the summary of the drive there and back:

That’s a nice chunk of driving. 397.6 miles in seven hours and 25 minutes. Nice.

UMass Lowell beat the University of Vermont 3-0 in what was a pretty boring game. Lowell’s second goal was a thing of beauty. It was a two on one break away and the shooter roofed it over the goalie’s left shoulder. Perfect. Lowell’s third goal was a little painful for the Vermont fans. A one on two that should probably have been more like a dump and chase but Lowell’s forechecker just put it on net and poof, goal. Nice.

Before the game we met with the kids, including Harry’s girlfriend, for dinner and had a really nice time. Jen wasn’t feeling well by the end of it though so she stayed at the hotel during the game. That made us all sad. We missed her. After the game we all went back to the hotel and were able to spend some time hanging out with Jen, who was feeling a little better. That made up for missing the game.

Since coming home I’ve just been trying to recover from all of the driving. I did manage to run some errands and do a little around the house. I made lunch and I am going to make dinner too. First though, I have to do my morning exercise that I couldn’t do in the car today. I’s 4:20pm. Let’s make believe that it’s 5:20am and get it done.

Montpelier, VT

On the drive home from visiting the kids in Burlington, VT we stopped in the state capital, Montpelier. We were looking for a breakfast place. Yelp said it was open. Reality said it was closed. We were sad, but we did drive right past the capital building which was nice.

Tomorrow Should Be a New Camera Day

New Camera Coming

Even More Jealous

Yesterday I wrote a post about how Jen and I watched a TV show where the cast took a trip to San Diego and it made us really jealous because we seriously want to go back there and spend some serious quality time.

This morning I watched a photography youtube video that included shooting a visit to San Diego. It’s like the universe is just screwing with me now. I want to go back there so badly!

2012-04-22 - San Diego Day 2 - La Jolla 419

2012-04-24 - Point Loma and San Juan Capistrano 166

2011-08-07 - Balboa Park and Old Town 204

Jealous

Jen and I just watched a TV show were a bunch of terrible people took a trip to the beach in San Diego. I went through a bunch of photos from our honeymoon that I took at the same beach. At least I thought it was the same beach but on further review it might not have been.

Anyway, we were both super jealous and wanted to go back to San Diego but we can’t. Our next two trips are already planned and they are both to Florida. San Diego is going to have to wait years. Bummer.

Though, our Florida trips are still pretty good. I mean, other than the state being a breeding ground for nazis and all.
