Short Updates

Posted by Scott at 10:38 PM

Good morning! Spent some time this morning discussing plans for the upcoming week. In the second half I will be a bachelor 'holding down the fort' while Michelle & the kids head up to Lincoln, NH. For now it's time for me to get up and head down to Boxborough, MA. 6:16am

Smooth but gray commute in. Finished Jim Butcher's "Storm Front" near the state line. Switched back to Niven/Pournelle's "Escape from Hell" for the rest of the drive. Have less than two hours left to go on that book. I have a fair amount of paperwork to deal with this morning, some legal, some trip reimbursement stuff. 8:56am

Woot! Diesels took 1st, 2nd, and 3rd at LeMans. (again) (related link) 9:23am

Favorite made up word seen today: "retrosexual". I'm assuming it means a lust for things with retro styling, like this one which pulls at my heart. (related link) 9:28am

Some say Twitter jumped the shark with Britney, Oprah and Ashton Kutcher. I'm thinking it may be now that there's a Commodore 64 Twitter client. (related link) I'm sure the well intentioned geek thought, "because I can!" 12:59am

Left the office a little early to make it home in time for a Step & abs class at Golds. Now to snarf a quick dinner and head to an Opus Dei circle. 6:59pm

Back from tonight's circle. Discussed today's "not eye for an eye" Gospel and also the topic of chastity, esp. within marriage. 10:09pm

On the drive home I finished Niven/Pournelle's "Escape from Hell". It was okay, but I don't think it was as good as their "Inferno", the novel to which this is the sequel. Not sure what I'll listen to next, but probably Jim Butcher's "Fool Moon". 10:12pm
