There is baseball to watch

The Red Sox are playing the Phillies tonight and I need to offer my sage coaching advice.

We are in the process of getting estimates to have our driveway ripped out and a new one put in. The current driveway is just about 27 or 28 years old and it's time to replace it.

Oh, and it also has developed a sinkhole of some sort so we figure it's best to take care of that before it starts swallowing our cars.

Finally Friday

I am suddenly the target of all kinds of people at work and they are causing me to do a lot of stuff.

For instance, yesterday I spent 4 hours talking to a bunch of people about a process that we created about five years ago. It's still working just fine and I have not once had to go look at it.

That means my four hours with these people was spent with me saying things like, "How the hell do I know...." or  "I wrote the damned thing five or six years ago. I don't remember." or my personal favorite, "Who told you it did that? It wasn't designed to do that and if it does do that, it's probably not accurate."

Today was spent creating some code. I like coding. It's very therapeutic for me to just sit and write, test, write, test and then finally run. Coding to me is like reading a good book. You get to use your brain and imagination.

So know that everyone at work is happy (for the moment) and I'm finally home, let's go look at some links:

• What do you expect - he's from Somerville.



• Ladies. Please.  Stop it. The damn seat works just as well in both directions.



• Only in Florida.

Long Day = Short Post

Going through some major changes at work and I'm being invited to more meetings than I know what to do with.

Until this settles down, get used to a lot of Long Day = Short Post kinda days.

Wax On, Wax Off. Don't forget to breath. Very important.

My life is in balance.

• No one is poking at me to do things but I have plenty to do.
• No one is causing me any stress or anxiety but I feel a sense of urgency when I want to get something done.
• I am not sick but I am lazy.
• I stopped smoking but I eat too much.
• I like my job but I'm looking forward to retirement.
• The Dog loves me but the cats could care less.
• I fall asleep at 8:30 at night but I wake up at 4:30 in the morning.

Yes sir, that's some pretty good balance right there.

Time for an update on the whole daylight savings time thing:

I'm still tired.

This has been your update on the whole daylight savings time thing.

If I ever meet Dianne Feinstien, my only question to her is going to be, "So Senator, how does it feel to be violated by the Federal Government? Did you like it? Did you accept it as something you have to put up with to ensure the safety of the nation?"

Between the TSA, the NSA, the FBI and Homeland Security, us non-Senators go through shit like this everyday. Try boarding a commercial plane or buying a gun and you'll know what it's like to be violated.

Personally, I think it's about time that senators and congressmen got a little taste of the evil they unleashed when they voted to approve the PATRIOT act. I think it's about time that our elected officials understand that the beasts they think they control may not be as tame as they think.

Who is watching the watchers?
