There's something I miss about home. No matter where I've been since I've been out of the nest, it's never really felt like home. I've lived with a few people over the course of those years and despite best efforts, I just can't seem to settle in.

So it happened that a couple of weeks ago, I was visiting my mom when I got this...

The B is usually for bourbon, but on this day, it's for that fine beverage we all know and love as beer.

I like some lagers and lighter color beers, but give me a nice porter or a stout and I'm a happy man.

So, yesterday I opened up the book I've been writing for just over two years. I've been in a series of rewrites, edits and filling in incomplete parts of the story when to my dismay, two chapters near the beginning just *snaps fingers* disappeared. I took a few deep breaths, muttered a few choice expletives and looked for an unedited copy of the text.

Back from a lengthy step back from the site. Hopefully I'll stick around for a while again.

Wondering who is still left from the friendly faces I remember. Drop me a line when you get a chance.

...in 5, 4, 3, 2....

Been away for about a year and coming back to see what I've missed out on. I'll mill around for a bit and check out the old haunts. If some of you still remember me, drop me a line and let me know how it's going with you.

I have been congested and my allergies and sinuses are acting up aaaand as if the day couldn't start off any worse...

I was going through some work stuff on my computer when I noticed a co-worker needing some assistance (despite her not asking for any.) She appeared to need a font for a graphic she was completing and after a short search, I found...

Woke up this morning. Sleepy dust still in my eyes, but I wiped it clear and got up to make the g/f some breakfast before she headed off to work. A little role reversal for today, but I have all day to sleep if I want it. I have today off from work as well as tomorrow.

Alas, it's my birthday today; and without prompting...

Same job, but looking for a new one.

Short hair, but still the same goofy guy.

On the hunt for a new job and the outlook is fairly good considering that my attitude remains positive.

I miss being closer (geographically speaking) to my family. I moved away from my hometown about three years ago and it feels like I'm light years away from them despite...

Wow. It's been months since my last blog but that shouldn't really come as a surprise. I'm still disenchanted with the impersonal nature of the new site layout, but alas... here I am checking in.
