So many things…
Monday – 20 May 2013 So, it’s been slightly longer than I’d intended since the last non-Team DiVa post. Time somehow manages to just slip away. It’s been a good couple of weeks, for the most part. Home life has been good and, aside from spending far too many Saturdays in the office – it’s [...]
May the 4th be with you, Cinco de Mayo, and the Revenge of the 6th… or something like that
Monday – 06 May 2013 A new week begins, after a good weekend. Friday felt like it was nine days long. Not so much because I went to the Iron Man 3 premiere on Thursday, but because I had one of my worst night’s sleeps in many months. It took forever to fall asleep. I [...]
“We’re only immortal for a limited time…”
Monday – 08 April 2013 As if Monday wasn’t… well… “Monday,” I woke to a phone call this morning. It was my sister, Rana, calling. ::: deep breath ::: I’d actually been kind of expecting a call from her over the past couple of days. I wasn’t 100% sure that I’d get one, but I [...]
“In brightest day, in drunkest night..”
Sunday – 17 March 2013 Happy (what’s left of) Green Lantern Day! …or, as some people refer to it: St. Patrick’s Day. This post actually started on Friday, but between bouts of laziness, keeping up with Team DiVa, going to the opera, and life (in a nutshell), I haven’t been able to get back to [...]
M-11
Monday – 11 March 2013 It’s been a while. Yesterday, we “sprang forward” into Daylight Saving Time. “Saving.” Not “Savings.” The night/morning, already made short by the leap forward in time, was made even more short by the fact that I had to go into work – at 5:30 AM – for a maintenance window. [...]
Batter up!
Thursday - 28 February 2013 A new NBN Thursday is here. So far, it’s not bad. It’s also the end of February. This morning, Diana was up a bit before Vanessa. In order to let Vanessa sleep a bit longer, brought her into our room. This appeased Diana… somewhat. So, I did what any father [...]
Space: The Final Frontier…
Thursday – 21 February 2013 It’s No Bad News Thursday. That’s really all that needs to be said. As I’ve mentioned, Team DiVa has a computer with a series of astronomy pictures as a screen saver in their room. The girls have been identifying things like “moon,” “stars” and the closest that they can get [...]
Good day, Monday…
Monday – 11 January 2013 A new week is upon us. ‘Nuff said. This past weekend has been a bit of a whirlwind, but it’s also been quite fantastic. Friday night, I had a classmate from high school spend the evening with Sara!, Team DiVa and me: James (above) came to town a couple of [...]
Back on the air
Wednesday – 06 February 2013 Not only is it midweek… Nor is it just new comics day… Or even Movie Date Night with Sara!… Today is my niece, Grace’s, fifth birthday: I first met Grace about a week after she was born. Since then (and mostly through the marvels of modern technology), I have watched [...]
Groundhog Day: The Day of Shadows
Saturday – 02 February 2013 It’s Groundhog Day. (Just so you know, there won’t be a guest post by Bill Murray or Andie MacDowell. Sorry.) It’s the weekend. Hallelujah. It hasn’t been a bad week, but with Team DiVa not sleeping well (due to their colds), Sara! and I haven’t been sleeping well. Or, rather, [...]
Another Pleasant Valley Snow Day
Wednesday – 30 January 2013 More of Mother Nature’s frozen mocking laughter is falling on the Salt Lake valley this morning. The roads were actually in decent condition; the drivers, however… *shakes head* There was a roughly 6-mile stretch where the average speed dropped from 45 MPH all the way down to 15 MPH. For [...]
Daddy-DiVa Saturday!
Saturday – 26 January 2013 It’s the weekend. Selah. It’s been a good and somewhat busy week. Sara! has been attending a conference this week, so it’s mostly been Team DiVa and me at home at night. We all survived. That’s a good thing. Sara!’s conference ends today, but for most of the day, it’s [...]
‘Clix, Opera and the AFC
Monday – 20 January 2013 Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. This past weekend was a good weekend. Saturday, I judged a HeroClix tournament. I set up an event for my friend, Keith, who is in town on vacation. Keith was the judge for ‘Clix tournaments when I first started playing, so I was [...]
“This mornin’, I shot six holes in my freezer…”
Monday – 14 January 2013 It’s cold here in the Land Behind the Zion Curtain. How cold? Well, this is what greeted me when I checked the weather before getting out of bed: What?! I was reading on my iPad before going to sleep; it was right there. Don’t judge. This was the difference between [...]
And then there was Friday.
Friday – 11 January 2013 Today has been a good day. Even with all the snow. The morning commute was about a half-hour long, give or take. The drive was made a little better with the addition of two fifty-pound bags of salt to the trunk. (I have a rear-wheel drive car that apparently puts [...]
