The taunting continues
Mike dropped this off on Chris’ desk this morning. Tonight’s the night where the Red Sox have to win, or be eliminated. A lot of bean-eating is at stake here.

A little notebook
I got a nice present from Holly this morning, as a “thank-you” gift for my helping her move out of her apartment tomorrow. Awesome!
Resfest
Chris and I met up with Will after work at the MCA to attend opening night of Resfest. Shot of the main entrance (which was locked). Sculptures near the front. The three of us were attending two sessions tonight. The first was the keynote address by MK12. The initial part of the talk was a…
One to go…
With yesterday’s win, another white sock went up on Mike’s cubicle. I got a pretty good laugh in, on seeing that he procured a large dustpan, in anticipation of the sweep. I guess tomorrow is do or die for Boston.
Surround Clothing
Give it up for Tha.Riddla and Jetskier79, who’ve collectively started up Surround Clothing – complete with designs from such twelvestone notables as arigato and zip100. Swing on by and check out the shirts.
Dinner with Valerie
After work, I met up with Valerie (Kent’s sister). She’s in town for business, and a few days ago we discussed hanging out post-work. Headed over to her place (she got set up in a swanky, two-bedroom place just East of the Merchandise Mart) and hung out a while. The view here was absolutely stunning….
Hello, Josiah

The Winchester Mansion

I first learned of it back in grad school, and my friend Ann and I shared a similar fascination with both the building and its rather bizarre history. In fact, Ann was the only other person I’ve ever met who shared my…

Phone Call
Left a message for Gretchen, who ended up calling me back a bit later. We chatted for a good while, touching on topics ranging from how we spent our weekend, the phrase”hair of the dog that bit ya,” Victorian houses, narcolepsy, sleeping versus insomnia, and the lack of blue-coloredfoodstuffs in everyday cuisine. Always a fun…
Surprise!
I walked up to my apartment after work, and what did I see but this huge box waiting for me, right bymy door! One look at the sticker, and I had a pretty good hunch who sent this to me. On closer examination of thepostage stamp… my suspicions were confirmed. Opening the gift, here’s what…
Lunch Break
Flavor Quest: Perry’s Deli
I don’t know how this started, but once upon a time, Chris declaredthat he was on a “Flavor Quest” for lunch. And since then, this phrase has been invoked when one among us desiressomething a little special, a little out of the ordinary for lunch. Today, the declaration was made and Ben told us of…
