Artwork tonight from David Schleinkofer. Maybe I'll eat a granola bar... That's what I just said to my brother because we were both confessing that we're pretty effin tired right now. We walked about another 14 miles today. Liz called it the "Scott's walking tour of...

The day that Scott and I walked 11 miles around the great city of Chicago and barely scraped the surface. Tonight's artwork is from Syd Mead. It started with getting up pretty early (for Ira, on west-coast time) because Scott had a PT appointment for his neck,...

I made it to the windy city! Last day in Portland was fun - we went to a cool bagel place that reminded me of Arcata soooo much. I'm writing this entry tonight in a weird position on an air mattress, so we're going to keep it short and sweet. We went over to the...

Artwork tonight from Martin L. Kennedy. Julianne Ho was officially pinned as a nurse today. I mean, she still has to take her licensure boards, but she's done with nursing school. No small feat, yo! We got up early-ish and went down the street to this cafe called The...

That moment when you catch a typo on your blog...and it was in the bloody title...sigh. This is what happens folks when you don't proofread your journal entries. THIS. Today was waking up at the butt-crack...okay, so 7:30...but for lazy fucks like the Ho and I, that...

So...was today a crazy rousing success story to be told for years to come...? No. But, it WAS exactly what I needed it to be, which was juuuuust enough to set me up for success when I get home from this brief little vacay. Watched some Voyager...I'm in the middle of...

Goin down down. My favorite part of that song is how happy Devo sounds when somebody falls down. In a mine. Worked today. It's almost 1am already, which means sleepy times are needed. I don't feel tired, which I suppose is good, because I have my freaking work cut out...

Today was a solid day. Got all my work done. Finished about two hours later than I'd hoped...but it was done. JUST enough wiggle room. 26 minutes done. It's after 1am and the stress level is high. But it's two more days of work. That's it. Then I'm home free... More...

Ugh. I hate these days. I hate that I have about two of them a month...pretty consistently, too. It sucks. The one consolation is that they usually seem to be a wake up call and my work days thereafter are pretty solid. Today's, I suppose, wasn't a complete disaster...
