Hanging out at a friend’s house, connecting wirelessly. We moved a bunch of stuff out of the Fiancee’s condo and into the house, and a bunch of stuff out of the house and into my friend’s house.
BTW, the wine is working fine.

Those of you out there with a compatable browser and Sherlock Holmes’ eye for detail will have noticed a tiny addition to the location bar for this site. One of the great little perks about my job is that sometimes I get paid to experiment with really cool things.
And speaking of perks, the carboy full of pumpkin wine is perking away quite nicely!
Yeah, I know that’s kind of an awkward transition, but I’ve got two totally unrelated things to talk about and I wanted to use the same title for the blog entry.

I was late to work this morning for a couple of reasons. For one thing, parking around here is always a challenge. There’s one lot that I used to use all the time that was hardly ever full, but I think it’s been discovered. It seems to fill up around ten minutes to eight, so if I’m even a little late that’s out.

This stems from events on Sunday evening, but it’s taken me a bit to figure out the best way to phrase things. Early drafts sounded pompous, middle ones were whiny, late drafts had an annoying patronizing tone.
Then I figured, what the heck… I’ll see if I can be all three.

It’s always odd going back to work after a longish vacation. The strangest thing for me is the combination of new and old things. There were a couple of jobs that came in that are revisions to things I did before the holidays and a couple of things that are brand new.

A rather uneventful trip. Nice and relaxing, actually. We didn’t stop for much other than gas on the way down, since we’d cooked up a batch of vegetarian mini pasties to nosh on while we drove.

We’re driving south tomorrow… Today has been hectic. My Fiancee has been helping with a bunch of stuff, getting packing together and such (she is awesome!), while I work with my folks taking a huge number of pictures of jewelry for their insurance.
