Day 2 (Oct 3rd): Paris in Paris and Normandy travel log
We woke up early to catch the guided walking tour included in our cruise. An 8:30 breakfast (it’s a fancy hotel and the breakfast had everything from crepes to scrambled eggs and cereals) and a 9...
Day 1 (Oct 2nd): New York in Paris and Normandy travel log
Our flight was at 11:30pm, so we had all day to pack. We both took the whole day off, so we were not rushed. I think we were done about two hours before the airport shuttle showed up. I had lied...
Busy and Busy in Trichotomy
The last two months have been quite hectic, as I prepared my promotion packet. In my company, the decision of whether one gets promoted does not lie in the manager, but rather lies in a group of ...
Myrtle Beach Travel Log in Trichotomy
Day 1 (Thur): Woke up at 7 to get ready. We arranged La Professeure’s colleague to come over and house-/rat-sit while we’re away. So we changed the sheets and arrange the house to get ready for ...
The World As It Is in Trichotomy
My tech-lead has been on vacation for a few weeks now and we are just taking over for him, and we have had fire-fighting excercises. It doesn’t help that the other senior member on my team doesn’...
Burn out in Trichotomy
This past few weeks I’ve taken to working from home a day each week because I’m always tired and not sleeping well. It didn’t help that there were many small fire-fighting exercises at work becau...
Compromises in Trichotomy
A couple of weeks ago I complained off-handedly about the commute I’m having, and that made La Professeure sad because she said she loves her life right now, and wants me to love mine. I guess pi...
Emotional Masturbation in Trichotomy
It’s been a month and a half since I last wrote; I feel like there should be stuff to write about, but can’t really recollect them all. Food, Friends, and Merriment There has been several non-o...
Carnegie Hall in Trichotomy
So I played in yet another of the amateur group’s Carnegie Hall concert two weeks ago. By this time it was no longer a big deal - I was not nervous, I was not excited - it was more like a chore, ...
Just catching up in Trichotomy
I feel, again, like I don’t write here any more, since it’s been a month since I last updated and that update was just a survey. In truth, there is not much to write about. Except perhaps the sn...
End-of-Year Survey, 2014 in Trichotomy
Happy New Year. I figure I’d do this first before posting an actual entry… What did you do in 2014 that you’d never done before? Go on a river cruise. Perform with one hand at Carnegie Hall. P...
Tis the Season in Trichotomy
Doctor's visit I mentioned last entry that our rat Henrietta had a tumor and needed surgery. The surgery happend the first Tuesday of December, and went very smoothy - apparently tumor removal f...
Because I cannot sleep in Trichotomy

Management in Trichotomy
I feel like I really have to force myself to write these days. I used to have a text file open somewhere where I would write down entry ideas… stuff I wanted to get off my chest. Now, nothing. T...
Catch up in Trichotomy
Catching up We have been doing “stuff” in the past month and yet I feel that nothing is new. Let’s see… Last weekend the Ex-Chamber Music Group Organiser and the Violist invited us to a hike in...
Distributed Processing in Trichotomy
Mindless code monkey I’ve been enjoying work since coming back from my honeymoon, since most of it involves mindless programming. It’s a nice break from the research and cross-team coordinating ...
Treadmill in Trichotomy
Since coming back from our Honeymoon we have had a busy schedule. The in-laws visited for a week after we came back, but La Professeure took care of entertaining them (she's on summer break), but...
Multimedia Dump in Trichotomy
We have been having a semi-busy time after coming back from the Honeymoon, with the in-law's visit and seeing friends and today being my birthda. But I am being lazy today, and will leave documen...
Day 16 (17th July): Amsterdam/New York in Honeymoon
Today we flew back. We had a 9:10am flight from Amsterdam, which meant we had to get to the airport by 6:10am, which means we had to leave the ship by 5:45am, which meant we had to get our luggag...
Day 15 (16th July): Kinderdijk in Honeymoon
We had a short stop at Kinderdijk today. Docked at 1 and left at 5, with a 2 hour tour of a windmill museum. Most of the day though, we prepared for disembarkation tomorrow. A lot of people exc...
Day 14 (15th July): Colonge in Honeymoon
This is the second-to-last port we will tour, as well as the last German city. Colonge is big, but the part worth seeing is all within walking distance - centered around the huge cathedral. There...
Day 13 (14th July): Koblenz in Honeymoon
We had a rich day today. We finished cruising on the Main last night, and started the day on the Rhine. I stayed up late-ish to watch the World Cup finals, so was a bit groggy, but luckily we are...
Day 12 (13th July): Wurtheim in Honeymoon
We spent the morning in Wurtheim today, finally leaving Bavaria. The day was dreary though, and it rained all morning, so we didn't do much. Also, since it was Sunday, most stores were not open, ...
