Each year, I try to spend the month of September doing not much of anything productive. Most years I don't quite succeed, but this year is looking good.
I've been testing recipes for a new cookbook that combines two of my favorite things: Hobbits and New Mexican cuisine. Inexplicable, but I'm 100% here for it.
Had a surprise storm blow through town last night and preliminary reports look like a funnel formed over my neighborhood and really tore things up as it moved through. All's well here, but there's lots of cleanup to be done in Athens.
Took advantage of a slow time at work to disconnect and take the kids to explore the geography, people, and history of the Low Country. We did an awful lot in four days, but mostly we ate seafood.
As a consultant, my work engagements are always short-lived. It's both a good and bad thing about the job. Now, one project has ended and I'm catching up on odds and ends before starting another.
I got one of those smart bird feeders last year and I love all the bird photos but the squirrels tried to eat it. Not the birdseed but the feeder itself. I spent some of my sick days splicing cables and replacing parts and now all is well.
It's a hard time to be a small fish in the big pond that is the tech industry. We're circling the wagons and all the other metaphors to weather the storm.
FedEx delivered a disembodied robot on Monday and I've been building a user interface for that. I did manage to get out of the house for a bit and see friends I hadn't seen in years.
So much going on at work this weekend, but I'm able to pause for the weekend and glue some gears on things to prepare for the upcoming Atlanta Steampunk Exposition
