My company is having a 7am meeting in Woburn, MA tomorrow morning. Woburn is about 2 hours north of my house, by car. That would require me to leave at unacceptable:00 to arrive on time. However, due to a fortunate turn of events, we decided to rent a suite at a Marriott “Residence Inn” for the meeting. The original plan was to show up in the morning, get the room, and then use a “late check out” the same day. In a flash of insight, I decided to *sleep* in the room instead, meaning that I took a leisurely drive up here this evening … stopping off for some mad Katamari at capital_l<\/a> and technolope<\/a>s house. Two guesses as to who carved the pumpkin.<\/p>\n

Who lives like this? That’s right. Rock stars live like this. It’s the only explanation, really.<\/p>\n

Today was remarkably productive. For the first time in memory, I finished all the tasks I had listed off for the weekend. This included:<\/p>\n

* Got the beer-fridge running in the basement. I now have a *chilled* keg of homebrew on tap.
\n* Fixed the dryer vent
\n* Installed the buddha of the splice, who revealed himself to redmed<\/a>.
\n* Fixed stuff around the house. Puttered.
\n* Went over finances with redmed<\/a>, enabling the purchase of holiday travel, Haiti tickets, and so on.
\n* Canned the sauerkraut. 7 quart jars. For those who need to know such things, it’s worth noting that Michael’s has broad selection of mason jars, for sale as singles.
\n* Mowed the lawn, possibly for the last time this year
\n* Tried out the chiminea.<\/p>\n

Woot. I’m going to sleep. Unacceptable:00 plus two hours is still damn early.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
