Back from Southborough, MA

Monday morning and back in the office. We had a good trip to Southborough, visiting Ben, Nicki, Abbi and Elli. Last time we were there Abbi was just taking her first step, this time they were both running.

We went in to Boston one day, otherwise most of the time was spent in Southborough. I like Boston, you can walk around, there are lots of great used book stores, what more can you ask for?

I made some progress on the table this weekend, photos coming soon.

Coffe Table Interrupted

The progress has been interrupted by illness. *Cough Cough*

Coffee Table Episod 1

In the words of The Hold Steady I've decided to Build Something This Summer. And starting a bit early just gives me a needed head start. To the right you can see episode 1 in "The Coffee Table Project", and hopefully it will actually turn into a table in the end. I'll keep you updated on the progress.

Dentistry

So next week I'm having two of my wisdom teeth pulled out. This past Wednesday I went to Dr Slaughter's (!) and had a consultation. Before I got to see the doctor they made me watch a video with basically everything that could go wrong. One of the least desirable side effects is to lose my sense of feeling in the the lower lip and chin. So anyway next Thursday is the day and they will knock me out for the surgery. I've never had that done before so it will be a new experience.

Now we're off to do some wine tasting.

Later!

NIN vs Cash

The NIN version or Johnny Cash? Not quite sure which one I like the best. In either case, it's a good song.

Life after Battlestar Galactica

It's come down to the end of Battlestar Galactica. I still have the last two parter to watch before it's all over, and hopefully things will be explained. It's a high quality show but it's probably a good thing that this is the last season. It's hard for a show to maintain a level of interest and quality for more than 3-4 seasons. Battlestar Galactica has mostly pulled it off, even though they spiralled down into the Lost swamp where even the writers don't know where things are heading. But this show never quite falls into that quagmire. So now onto Life After Battlestar Galactica!

Some Music

As I started listening to Neko Case, Middle Cyclone, a thought struck me: My brother will probably like this music.
Am I right?

Friday is here

Time to go home for the week. Some good things. Want to watch a high quality British detective TV show? Then look no further, but check out Foyle's War.
Want to see some good journalism from what might be an unexpected source? Check out The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Maybe especially the latest interview with CNBC’s Jim Cramer. You can watch it here.

Now off to have my weekend!

Too Long

Ok, it's been too long since my last post. I guess I could go with "I've been busy", and it would be true. But enough said. Work is work. Boxing is still fun, and I made a website for our boxing program a while ago. Here it is. This weekend we had a fund raiser for one of the boxers that is about to go pro.

The Saab drives like a jet plane on wheels. Great stuff! Those Swedes know how to make a car.
