This has been a long, long week at work and I'm really glad Friday is here. I'm looking forward to the weekend. It will be good to spend some time with the stunningly patient and mighty fine SML. It's another week of only one child - CAL was at Church Girls Camp this past week and the Boy leaves for a full week of Scout Camp. To him, I say good luck.While my week has been anything but slow, it seems that this Friday has been a slow news day. The news has mostly focused on Ellen DeGeneres...

It's Friday afternoon and it's been one long week at work. I'm so glad that I am able to work from home as frequently and consistently as I do. I'd have gone completely out of my mind had I been in the office all week.We all have days that make you wonder why you got up and even bothered to go to work. Days that are stressful, etc. It's good to be able to let off a bit of that off. I can run at lunch. Did so today and it was good. And then, thanks to the reservoir of stupidity that is...

And not once did I feel threatened.The hotel I stayed at, the Centara Grand at Central World, is connected to Central World, one of the sites that...

As I scroll through Blogger using the "next blog" feature, on Fridays, a lot of blogs feature a "Friday Funny." Usually some kind of video, cartoon, or a NSFW picture. Nice. I'm going to contribute my own today, on this Friday:

Another milestone was reached here in the Den today as the Boy graduated from junior high school. Forgive me for referencing "graduation" as, apparently, it must be called a "moving on" ceremony. The...

The first couple of days of this week were pretty brutal from a weather perspective - wicked hot and humid. We were spoiled last summer with mild, mild temps and milder humidity and it appeared that now Mother Nature was going to exercise some justice. Mercifully, it would seem that She's eased up a bit. The past couple of days have been gorgeous and today was stunning. Stunning.I had to grab a train into the city for some meetings at the sublime and wonderfully understated Peninsula...
