I'm still slowly working my way through the England trip. In current events, Rachel and I saw Avenue Q last night. It was probably the best Broadway musical I've seen in Portland to date. Highly recommended.

With so much running around recently, I haven't taken the time to write anything down here. Kind of hard to let people keep up with me if I don't even open the window to my thoughts here ( Read more... )

Especially when you work most of Saturday. Either I can't concentrate well enough at work on Friday (well, Thursday too), I can't get the DBAs to give me the time of day on those days (also possible), or everyone is just too damned busy at work. We're going full steam into this ELI conversion and it is painful. Too few of us doing too much work ( Read more... )

So the old mantra "Spring Forward, Fall Back" no longer applies. Now it's more like "Winter Forward, Late Fall Back ( Read more... )
