Rambling is easy but content is difficult

Monday, September 21st, 2009

This past summer was *extremely* busy: a return to road biking; hard work to temporarily automate (!) my job so I could take one week (!?) of vacation; more hard work to support an end of summer software release; self-study of the Python language; a return to choir rehearsals; worry about an apparently failed root canal on #8 (dang!); preparation for ceramic tile replacement in kitchen/utility/bath. Most of this spilled over into September and was accompanied by a week of babysitting tile installers, a recent week of rain totaling over 10 inches and the discovery – and quick fix – of a roof leak! I would take a vacation, but that job automation was only temporary. Hey, cron and expect can only take you so far.

I write this as I watch the Dallas Cowboys play the New York Giants. I’m ambivalent. Romo intercepted three times resulting in Giants TDs. Ugh. I am still down over Nebraska’s loss to Virginia Tech yesterday 15 to 16. Nebraska just could not punch it in while in the red zone despite several key opportunities. Go Zach Lee. Go Suh. Go Helu. Go Big Red. I’m down but not out.

So my conclusion is that rambling is easy. Good content is difficult. So I ramble.

Don’t go away, though. There is more to come.
