A New Day Dawns…

December 15, 2004

It’s somewhat amazing how a new day can bring a little bit of peace and calmness to the soul. I think a good night’s sleep can also help. I am in a much better mood and mind-frame today than I was yesterday and it’s showing in my work, my demeanor, even in the way I feel physically. Maybe it is getting a good lead on a different approach to a [...]

Welcome to LI, Hurricane Alex

August 4, 2004

Hurricane Alex is sending some love our way! Report has it at overhead (and then some), glassy, and pretty much perfect. Too damn bad I’m stuck here at work with little to no time off left on my account. I’m bummed out big time. I decided to not get wet yesterday due to the fact that R had a bad day at work yesterday. How someone can threaten to “fucking [...]

Not Seeing the Forest for the Trees

July 30, 2004

Don’t you hate it when you’ve been working on a project for a long time and seem stuck in a rut on a seemingly tough portion of it only to have someone who has not put in any time or effort come over and say “Oh, if you did X, Y, and Z you’d be all set?” Arrrgggh! Well, it happened to me this morning. I’ve been trying to design [...]

Dragging Arse…

July 28, 2004

The last few days have been hellish here… I’ve been dragging my butt around work without much of anything doing. My projects have all kind of stalled and I don’t feel like I have the energy to jump-start them. Weird kind of funk I’m in. Work is once again becoming that place I go to just because I’m supposed to be working – it’s the thing I should be doing [...]

MA Here We Come

July 23, 2004

Well, it was my Mom’s birthday yesterday and it’s been about a month since we saw my folks, so we’re heading up to MA this weekend. Ris’ parents will be in Newport, RI (a short drive from my folks’ house), so it looks like the whole gang will get together (as Courtney will be with Mike and Fredda and Alyssa & Z are coming down from VT as well). Sat [...]

LB Was The Shiznit Today…

July 20, 2004

I spent 1.5 hours (6:30 – 8:00pm) surfing yesterday! Chest to head (occasional overhead) high waves. Almost to the point of being too big for my ability. Paddling out was a chore and a half. Say what you want, but it’s a killer back/shoulder/arm workout. Not as glassy conditions as this weekend. The rougher conditions were probably due to the onshore winds. It also closed out a bit quicker so [...]

Back To Work

July 19, 2004

Well, back to work on this dreary Monday. I spent the weekend at the beach with the Mrs. and our good friends the Murrays. We had an absolute blast. The sailboat got painted (and ready to sail from what I hear), but the surf was up, so I spent my time on the beach side and not at the bay. The only downside to the weekend was that I lost [...]
