Had the third interview in Raleigh this past weekend. Natania came along, as per the owner’s wishes, and met everyone. She got a tour of the office space, which is more than she’s ever seen of my current workplace. In more than a year of my employment there, my own wife has not met a…

I gotta stop doing this. When I skimp, I just end up having to write more. Well… hopefully, in a month and a half that will cease. I will have more time for writing, which is something I have been looking forward to for quite a while. I’ll have more time for most everything. Because…

There’s a site we do at work for a cookie company in the Carolinas (ahem) and they’ve got a promotion in effect now for a certain line. So, the marketing “boss” tells me, over the intraoffice IM network, to just pick something random for the coupon code. Someone gets the code, they choose what they…

Up and at them before 9 on a weekend. My hat goes off to Natania, who got up at 8:30 to head to the gym, leaving me behind in a very cold bed, which gave me no choice but to get up and clad myself in oodles of clothing to keep from freezing. I have…

I came home from work yesterday and because of our plans for the upcoming months, decided it was time to find some jobs and send out some resumes. You know: the lamest, most annoying, suckiest activity known to man. So I went to a few websites, found some classifieds, and then I was at a…

This weekend was pretty darn cool, if I may say so. I’m sure that Natania will, at some point, update with news of her talk at the NC Colloquium in Medieval and Renaissance Studies. It was a very informative conference, and I must admit that showing Natania around Duke was exciting. The keynote speech, about…

As mentioned in the last post, we needed a nursery to store all of our new baby books. Instead of shelling out $100 or so at Target or wherever for a cheap particle board bookcase, Natania and I bought some shelving boards and some really nifty brackets at the Home “Deppo”, and after a half…

I haven’t written anything here in over a month. One of the best things I can do for myself, to keep myself sane and to keep my writing ability at least in some amount of shape, is to unload my feelings onto a blank slate. Usually, this is that blank slate, but as of late,…

Could’ve fooled me. As most folks blogging throughout the southeast are noting, it’s about seventy bloody degrees outside. This is our New Year, and it’s balmy and there’s nothing outside that even hints that Old Man Winter has taken up residence. As someone who loves the cold weather, I’m fairly annoyed. I prefer to bundle…

Whole heaps of stuff has happened, and I’m not really going to go into detail. My father-in-law is doing better, I made it to Massachusetts in one piece, and when I came back, I was still in one piece, though that one piece had doubled, according to North Carolina state law, and the tax code, to…
