Old Drinking Bud
Night before last I met up with an old, old friend and former drinking buddy. He was part of the crew of guys I used to hang out with back in the 90s and very early 00s. For the most part, I wa...
Sparking Joy
Well, I did it. I organized my clothes over the weekend – clothing being step one in the KonMari method of organizing and decluttering that I’m working on mastering (see previous entry for a lin...
Sex and Purge
It’s almost the weekend. I’ve had all of my meetings today and I’m ready to get the eff out of here so I can start my Friday night. It’s gonna be a cold one but at least it’s the weekend, right...
I Care, I Swear!
Seriously, I didn’t mean to come across as a cavalier asshole in my last entry. I care a lot about what you guys think for various reasons: (1) I know a lot of you in real life now; (2) I like ...
Weekend Recap
I am so sad that the end of the weekend is here. So very sad. Friday night with the married pilot went of without a hitch. He was a complete and utter gentleman. He picked me up at my place ...
Second-Guessing
Yeah, see. There are days when I come to work and everything works smoothly and things go right and everyone likes everyone else and I feel really dumb for wanting to leave this place to go do s...
Checking In!
Nearly 10 days into the year, so I thought I’d check in to let you know how my plans are going and maybe to get myself even more motivated. I have to be honest and say that the dumb smoke detect...
What am I doing in this hotel room?
Dudes, seriously? It all started pretty quietly Sunday night. Was having a relaxing evening, winding down the holidays and getting ready for the work week - first day back in the office after go...
Dancing Fools
I don’t know, man. Dancing is fun, but dance clubs are weird if you’re 48 years old. Still, Em had to dance, so dance we did. I ended up with 21,000 steps on my Fitbit on Friday, and 10,000+ mo...
Naughty New Year
I was kind of naughty last night. I ended up going to meet my neighbors at this local downtown bar, but as soon as I got there, they asked if I’d check out another place “next door”. Sure, fine...
Goodbye, 2015
Wow. Where the fuck did that year go? What did I accomplish in 2015? Hm. A whole lotta nothing. I’m pretty sure it’s because I didn’t make any plans. Making resolutions, or at least some ki...
Lunching with Boys
Had my meet and greet lunch with Small Town Church Guy yesterday. He’s the guy who saw me at Christmas Eve service at my parents’ tiny church. We met at a Lebanese place (one of the choices I’d...
Back in the Office
…and of course, all hell is breaking loose. I made it a point not to look at my emails while I was on vacation. I don’t know if it was a good thing or not, but of course, there’s tons to be do...
Christmas Ten
First and foremost, Merry Christmas! It’s been a mellow one, folks. And I’ve liked it that way for the most part. I’m at my parents’ place. Have been here since noon yesterday, Christmas ...
Christmas Eve Eve!
Gifts are all wrapped. Vanilla treats done. Champagne is already chillin’ at my parents’ place (thanks to leaving the bottle at Thanksgiving). I think I’m ready to head over there tomorrow. Ha...
Ten Things About the Rest of the Trip
I needed that trip so badly. Today I’m back in the office, but still California Dreaming. Here are ten things about the rest of the trip! Last I wrote about it, I was in Dana Point and gettin...
Holy Cow...
…do I need to take more vacation days. Well, as you can see, I’ve broken the Ginge-A-Thon, so now I kinda need to start a new thing to help keep me writing every day. I am just back home from m...
Ginge-A-Thon Day 18
Can I just say that the Bulldog is definitely in his element here on the West Coast. He’s a California boy from birth, and I have no idea why he lives in our town. Well, I do know why he first ...
Ginge-A-Thon Day 17
I’m late. Awesome day! Catch up tomorrow. Love you bunches! GS
Ginge-A-Thon Day 16
I don’t know how much I can write. The Bulldog is here in the room with me doing some of his work stuff. It’s weird, ya’ll. A lot like it was way back when. It’s nice, but not reality, and I’m...
Ginge-A-Thon Day 15
On a plane bound for LAX and I don’t know whether I’ll get the chance to write some more tonight or not, so I’m going to take this moment now and I can, I’ll come back and finish this out. Oy, th...
Ginge-A-Thon Day 14
Well, I may barely squeak this one out. It’s five minutes until midnight here where I am and I’m not quite done packing for my trip. Worked until 9:00 tonight and I’m still not done with my two ...
Ginge-A-Thon Day 13
Another delicious day. I’d give it an 8. Started out this morning with a walk a few blocks down to where there was a marathon taking place. It was rainy and cold, but the air was magical. It w...
Ging-A-Thon Day 12
God, I love weekends. I live for them now. Today was another gloriously quiet Saturday. I still have a lot to do with regards to prepping for next week. The only interesting thing I have to re...
Ginge-A-Thon Day 11
I just ghosted a party! Yes I did. It was my neighbor’s party, and I wasn’t even planning to go, but I was late coming home from work and I walked the dog and the smokers caught me outside and ...
