Thanksgiving Update

It has been an interesting week, a busy enough one that I have not had time to reflect on it much until now.

Thrilled to recover 13GB of space on my laptop

One of the very few problems with my MacBook Air is that the solid state disk in my original model has only 55.45GB of capacity after formatting. I’ve been running nearly full for months and decided to purge some old data if I could find it this morning. I discovered a duplicate iPhoto Library nested […]

Kitty Logic

If the outside is too cold out the front door, we must try the back door to see if it’s warmer out there! The kitties are so cute and affectionate today; I think they sense the cold too. For those of you near Great Falls, check out Mediterranee Restaurant on the South side of Colvin […]

Angry about a new kind of telemarketing

I have started getting calls on my cell phone during the daytime that are telemarketing calls. What makes this particularly annoying is that the company or companies have figured out how to spoof the caller-id system into showing what appears to be a legitimate phone number the call is coming from (real examples): 248-758-9138 (called […]

Excellent Weekend

Things are finally beginning to slow down from the frenetic pace of political campaigning, preparation for ballroom dance showcases, and launching a major new product at work. The election is over, and great progress was made. The dance showcase event is over, and we had fun and no dance partners ended up on the floor. […]

Dressed up all in black

My half-hearted attempt to be a beatnik for tonight’s sock-hop and 1950s party at the Tyson’s Corners’ Dance Studio. Black pants (could not find black jeans), black turtle neck, black button down over it, gelled hair. I don’t own any birth control glasses (military issue like Elvis Costello wears) anymore, or I’d switch to those […]

Weekend Update

It was a pretty spectacular weekend. Friday night after work I hit The Ballroom Studio for one last practice for showcase routines with Michele and Cassandra and attended the dance party. Saturday, Erci and I hit practices with our different formation teams, and I snagged lunch with Pranu; then Saturday night was the big showcase […]
