It’s been a while coming, but I finally did it. So if you’ve been expecting an email reply from me and didn’t get it, I must have lost your message and please send it again :)

a clean inbox is the sign of a sick mind
OK, on the left is my work inbox. I finally replied to everything that needed a reply, so everything there came in today, less than 3 hours ago. Except: whoah, there are 2 messages from the future! Oh, right, timezones. That’s not nearly as fun. I’m also down to the last 5 messages in my personal…
Somewhat back
I’ve been back since Wednesday evening, but still not back to normal: I haven’t caught up on sleep, I’m behind on work, and there’s still a mountain of dirty gear in my living room. Which is too bad since there are interesting things planned for every evening this week. I’ll go to as many of…
Awake. Where am I? Feels like my bed. OK. (blink) It’s light out. Maybe it’s morning. Yes, time to get up. (reach for the light switch) Wait, why are my fingernails black?
This has pretty much been my reality for the past while. As usual, I meant to do a pile of bike maintenance over the winter but never got a round tuit. But now I’m enjoying getting all my bikes clean and into shape. So far 2 of my bikes plus Robin’s bike are in reasonable…

From now on, I’m spending 30 minutes per day catching up on email, answering blog comments, and replying to entries. If I run out of all of those, I’ll start new email conversations with…
Hoosic River Ride
Last Saturday was the annual Hoosic River Ride – my third time on the ride, and it’s definitely the highlight of my riding season. cpirate and dfcarney, do try and come next year. I assure you it’s worth the drive. This year was my first time on an actual road bike. I was pleased to…
It’s way too hot.
“heat wave”: random whining: Yesterday was the first time ever that I couldn’t eat an ice cream cone quickly enough to stop it from melting down my hand (I eat quickly.) Last night, I got to sleep OK, but then the smoke detector woke me up at 3:30 for no apparent reason. Then I couldn’t…
Scanning!
I’m finally scanning the huge number of slides (and maybe even the smaller number of filmstrips) I’ve shot since buying an SLR in 1998. This has, perhaps, been my longest-term project ever. rgb lent me a Nikon LS-2000 slide scanner in early 2003. Every time I’ve pulled it out to use it, something different has…
