Memorial Day

BBQ? The Lake? Or just a good book? I suppose it’s worth noting that I finally finished Joe R. Lansdale’s [url=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0892967293/fishinguideto-20]A Fine Dark Line, and I would heartily recommend it, as usual. Sort of a weird coming of age novel, set against deep south prejudice and East Texas summers. Perfect at this time of year.

Routines

Routines. How easy it is, to pick up right where I left off. Friday afternoon, walk to the creek, jump in the cold water, walk by the post office, buy a few stamps. Saturday afternoon, walk to the creek, go for a leisurely swim, walk to the post office, buy a few stamps. I’ve had Routines

Feast day of St. Urban

Patron Saint of wine guys. Hoist one for the saint. So this was weird, but in a good way. See, it was a Libra kind of day. First off, the guy who used to be referred to as “mi patron,” me and him, we had us one of those [i]little talks[/i]. He talked, I listened. Feast day of St. Urban

Source Material

Back-ups. Oh, I got your backups, right here. I crashed my database that holds the text files and everything else for this journal Wednesday night. No big deal, not really, I could see the data on the server, I just couldn’t get to it. Everything’s fine, sure. Sure. And instead of trying to figure out Source Material

Rain

I was really planning on going, but at the last minute, that [url=www.devota.org]Pisces and [url=www.crankyamy.com]Sagittarius wanted to meet for some dinner first. The deal was, the Pisces had a coupon for $20. The bill for dinner was about $30. Figuring it all out, we Rain

Bottom run of the ladder

So I walked into the office, “Hey, how we doing?” I was sporting one of my better shirts, trying to close that gap, or add fuel to the fire. Big boss is there, looks at me over our shared pair of reading glasses. New employee is next to “mi patron,” and they’re both looking at Bottom run of the ladder

Mercurial Blues

Mercurial Blues And other colors. Or flavors, really. Monday afternoon, hot, sticky, damp. To me, it’s a sign that I can finally get back to doing what I like to do, now that Mercury has almost righted himself. I stopped by [url=www.thehideout.org]The Hideout to snag a quick shot of espresso on the way home. When Mercurial Blues

Commitments?

Commitments? Sunday morning was entirely too pleasant, meet up with a pair of Pisces, and a Virgo, while a Scorpio lad walked in later, all at [url=http://elsolylaluna.citysearch.com/1.html]El Sol y La Luna. I popped on around to Jo’s for a decent cup of coffee to go, and the merry Cancer greeted me, while the Sagittarius made Commitments?

Musical background

After muggy, cloudy, hot days, we get one beautiful day in Austin, and I’m stuck inside, reading charts. Not my idea of a happy place. Couple of the other vendors approached me about software issues. Not software as in a reading software, but real, live, Mac-centric software question about the operating system. Should’ve asked me Musical background
