365: Day 90 – The coldest day
I was invited to learn about an internship opportunity with United Airlines at their headquarters in what was formerly Sears Tower in Chicago. I packed some warm clothes and boarded a red-eye to Chicago. Despite my love of cold and being dressed "warmly", the cold was the most bitter cold I've ever felt. I made …
365: Day 89 – Dreaming of winter and cold mountain tops.
It is a little earlier in the night, but it somehow feels much later, much deeper. I have always loved the night, the cold, cloudy weather, the far north. Most people seem to flock to the sunshine and the heat of the tropics if given a choice. Winter and darkness drives people away. I'm the …

365: Day 88 – A Lucky Number
Coordinating remodeling of a new home takes up quite a bit of time and has me bouncing around quite a bit between tasks at work and talking to contractors. I have no idea how people can manage this during non-pandemic times. If we had to be in our office every day, it would be impossible …

I spent most of the day at the new place coordinating the different contractors and it couldn't have been …

Probably my biggest worry is a report that has been a source of trouble for one of the project I work on because the person previously responsible for the project and report is inexperienced and …
365: Day 85 – Pardon the brief pause…
I'm feeling better today and spent a lot of the day catching up with work. Whatever it was, it only affected me pretty mildly, but it was enough to kill my productivity. I hope I have some more inspiration tomorrow and hopefully I'm not this tired by the time I get into the evening.
365: Day 84 – Under the weather
I must have ate something that gave me abdominal pain throughout the day so I was very unproductive with work and really didn’t feel like writing anything. Just an evening in bed watching Star Trek - The Next Generation.
365: Day 83 – Bath and Pagliaci
I started writing about my relaxing evening and then went tumbling down the opera rabbit hole. I just can’t help myself. Today was a mostly relaxing day and I made it even more relaxin by treating myself to a nice bath. I rarely take baths because I feel they take too long, but today I …
