Thoughts: It’s been clear for a long time that regardless of the complete shitshow the country is swimming through right now, and me losing my job and being unemployed for over half a year, and my mother dying, this has still been a better year for me than last year. I spent most of last …

Yay fall
Sweater weather, betches. I love it. Except now I'm not exactly sure how they're going to do outdoor dining when it's cold, and I don't want to do indoor dining yet. I feel like there's a lot to talk about, but none of it seems important. OK, if I choose to talk about the State …
Losing It
OMG, I am getting myself so frustrated. I keep losing stuff. Now I can be as scatterbrained as the next guy, but things are disappearing in the weirdest ways. So... yesterday, I went to my new office for the first time. (I've been in the job for over a month.) We're on a rotating schedule …
The new normal
The new normal of COVID, the new normal of a job, the new normal of being a mid-50's guy with random aches and pains. The nicest new normal is that our anniversaries no longer feel like milestones. Last year at this time, we celebrated five years of marriage, and that was a big deal. And …
Get It All Down
I often feel, when blogging or scanning old photos or looking at programs from concerts I performed in as a kid, like I'm preserving content for an Eric Peterson museum that no one will ever go to. But it's helpful for me to be able to look back on this stuff, and I can't tell …
Week 1
Well, it's not over yet, I may be jumping the gun. Today is a short Friday - we get off at 3:00 pm on Friday until Labor Day. I went and read last year's blog post about the first week at CSI: I was pretty optimistic then, too, but I was already seeing red flags. …
Go get ’em, tiger
Wow. A nice leisurely weekend, marred only by a discovered leak under the kitchen sink (we'll have the super look at it tomorrow - in the meantime, that pipeline of cold water is shut off). But tomorrow... I start a new job! And I'm excited about it, but also wary since I felt pretty good …
Awoooo
I'm not particularly into werewolves, or supernatural stuff at all, but fiction has served me up not one, but three, gay werewolves in the last couple of weeks. Well, sort of. --- This past weekend, I read the three Bones books by Kim Fielding (author of the sweet sword-and-sorcery gay romance "Brute"). Geeky architect Dylan …
OK Then
So, yes, as hoped, last week, the day after my double interview for two different jobs, the organization I was leaning towards called and said they were preparing an offer (which I then got the next day). Halle-f*cking-lujah. This was the job where I'd interviewed with practically everyone, and then they called to apologize and …
Abuzz with Possibilities
On a precipice here (or at least I hope I am). As feared/hoped, I'm in the finals for two jobs and had an interview for each yesterday. Either would be fine, but I'm definitely leaning towards one. I will give details after it all resolves. I'd forgotten to mention in the last post one key …
