Oh, look, we're now up to Memorial Day weekend. Friday, I'd taken off, so didn't have to worry about being available online. Good thing, it was a three-hour drive from Richmond to Durham. Liz, Drew and I had been eating pretty healthily for breakfast, so as soon as I was packed and out the door, …
Road Trip, pt. 3
We're now up to the Tuesday before Memorial Day. I'm so far behind in blogging, this may turn into a historical memoir. Tuesday morning, I needed to get up and out quickly and drive from Charlottesville to Richmond (an hour) before I could start work. No fear, I slacked my team and said I'd be …
Road Trip, pt. 2
We're now at Sunday May 19th. Agenda - a leisurely trip somewhat southwest. Got up, cleaned up, went downstairs for breakfast with Bob and Sheri, very nice, and heartfelt goodbyes as they wended their way back to Columbus. On the road again. My very vague planning for this trip had indicated that I could probably …
Road Trip, pt. 1
I've discovered, since 'the thing', that as much as I love my large and well-decorated apartment, it's a really good idea to get the heck away from it every few weekends. I'd signed up for this Baltimore G&S thing the weekend of May 19th. My buddy Erika, a fine pianist, and friend Michael produce regular …
Right as right can be!
I've been through this before, but our local NYC G&S society is an appreciation society, not a performance group, so their meetings are basically attending and enjoying concerts of outside groups, or programs put together by members. I've been performing in and producing these concerts on and off for years - it's a great low-pressure …
Virginia’s not my home
I'm way behind on blogging, so I'll get to the whatcha been doing soon enough. But I'm on a road trip, and on the drive from Baltimore to Charlottesville today, random playlist served up Jim Croce's New York's Not My Home. And, while I like the song and I get it, it got me thinking …
April
So behind I might as well just blitz the month. It hasn't been that interesting, but let's see. We had an earthquake! Not a common thing on the east coast. Even odder, I felt nothing for the earthquake or the aftershocks, even though pretty much everyone else did. I was at home in my (admittedly …
Toronto pt. 3
So... I've spent the weekend in Toronto, lost my wallet, but managed to compensate for that (mostly), had a lovely Sunday of brunch and sightseeing. It's now the last Monday in March and I have two days of conference before I go home. I'd never been to a business analysis conference before. Actually, this was …
Toronto, pt. 2
To review, it's the 2nd to last weekend in March, I'm in Toronto for a conference, and the first day I'm there, I lost my wallet. So now it's Sunday morning, I've done a lot of scrambling, figured out how I'm going to get through the rest of the trip with no wallet, and have …
Toront… oh no…
Way behind on my blogging. Good thing I'm not under contract. I love cities, generally, and I really love Toronto. Actually, I've always had a good time visiting Canada, and have been to Vancouver, Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec at least once. But I've been to Toronto several times - usually in conjunction with a visit …
