So the question came up recently of whether or not I was a "Renaissance man". I didn't really know, although I think it would be a neat thing to be - do I add it to 43 Things? And of course, there's the next question: once you are one, then what? Can I sit back and merely pontificate when others come to me to get something done ( Read more... )

City has been doing slightly more of late. No, I'm still not going to explain that. Suffer ( Read more... )

Ass-kickingly busy today. Doing several things for the Johnson campaign - seems there's a December 1 deadline that we need to make. (If you are a registered Green, and would like to do something very easy to help, please let me know.) On top of that, I'm applying to Howard County's purchasing department so THEUS will get RFPs, and there's ( Read more... )

Thanks to a tip from starfyrone, we found a program for business cards for The Exchange and just printed them out on our rickety li'l inkjet rather than spending a bunch getting them done professionally. The results were good once we got the actual Avery cardstock; the generic Staples stuff was poor and not a tremendous cost savings, so get the Avery ( Read more... )

Really busy of late. Or, in the words of Monday Night Football (through hcuz), "AAAAAAAAAGGGG".

Very good news in that my mother has started physical therapy and is doing much, much better - in fact, having an episode where she was about to fall and caught herself, which was not supposed to be entirely possible, given her condition. So, good news ( Read more... )

There's a coffee shop downstairs that I like to frequent. The coffee's good, they have organic there, and it's not one of the national chains (that I know of, unless someone else has heard of Olympic). There are a number of women who work there who are obviously from the same place; they all look and dress similarly...but what made me curious was ( Read more... )

Okay, full disclosure: I ran out of gas last Sunday night on my way to pick up crazieabby from her babysitting gig at ednoria, as apparently gas stations in Fulton and that area around ednoria, kugelblitz, and starfyrone do not stay open past 2100 or some early time; I passed two closed ones I'd counted on before running out. A Good Samaritan stopped, and as she was very, very cute and sexy ( Read more... )

Just got here a few hours ago, and already have been involved with a rather loud and strident conversation in a bar with an infamous member of the Pennsylvania delegation who I believe was in her cups over the Black Caucus. I have decided to blame kakistocracy, who started it but then couldn't get a word in edgewise. He and the lovely lidora are here already, and ( Read more... )

No zombies for my journal yesterday. I was considering posting a lusty tale of how I got out of L'Enfant Plaza with a pair of kids' aluminum baseball bats from the sporting goods store downstairs (I even checked to see if they stocked them) and ended up at a heavily armed and fortified Starbuck's in Columbia, trying to convince my fellow compound ( Read more... )
