    What are you doing today?

    Hello all!

    Today I am sitting in the shade on my deck, in my Drummond of Perth kilt smoking a Diplomaticos Number 1 (Habana) that my good friend brought me yesterday. Nice and cool, birds chirping, cat purring, and thinking about the analysis I have to do this afternoon. Steaks on the grill, a Negra Modelo or two, and going to sleep in the tent with my two little boys this cool evening. Cheers!

    I am going to sit behind a computer all day, do some business process analyst testing projects until this 4:00PM. Then I will pick my son up from daycare, go home, cook dinner, watch Pirate Master on TV, play with my son for a while, and then go to sleep.

    Aside from the time spent with my son, your day sounds much nicer. Cheers!

    Let's see. I think I will finish my morning coffee (s) and then head over to the DMV for an eye test and to renew my license. It should be interesting to see how being kilted at the DMV goes. Afterwards I plan on working on my garden railroad and cleaning the garage. The afternoon will be spent out in the garden, playing with the children, reading, and enjoying the day. For the evening I imagine cocktails with the Lovely Flame-Haired Celtic Amazon Goddess with figure prominently. Oh and of course periodically checking into X Marks the Scot!

    Cheers

    A rare cool spell here...but off to work. The usual DUI Screenings for the local court during the day, then facilitating the DUI treatment group at night. Think maybe there's one intake assessment for a child protective services endangerment case on my schedule too.

    Maybe get home early enough tonight to catch the end of the Diamondbacks game on tv.

    I spent this morning making some gages for the shop. Did a quick drawing for a company that shall remain nameless, but rhymes with Cow Morning, just before lunch and now I'm browsing here and catching up on emails I missed. In a half hour or so I'll head back into the shop and do a bit more machining then come back into the office and do payroll and start to prepare my weekly financial report for the owner. I'm sure I'll have a few more emails to answer too. Hopefully a few jobs come over for quotation as well. I may leave when I'm supposed to for home, or maybe work on some parts for my race bike. Not sure. It's supposed to be really hot here today so I may just stay indoors and work.

    Hi,

    For me, cellular phone turned off giving me an uninterrrupted day in my woodworking shop so I can finish up a musical instrument for my granddaughter's birthday.

    In theory there is no difference between theory and practice but in practice there is.

    Freudian slip there, Jamie?

    Today was my research / study / teaching day, so no patients. Up at 9 am, breakfast (porridge, orange juice, coffee), then rang up several people, worked on my pc, out to lunch (on my mountain bike -sorry, I don't mean I was eating while cycling) with a friend, back home, a bit more work, then out again to have my beard trimmed, and finally spent an hour tutoring a pakistani doctor in the local hospital in preparation for an exam he is doing. Home, showered, dinner, a glass of wine, and rang various people.

    And not a kilt in sight!

    A Day In The Life...

    Let's see, I stayed up to a little after 0200 hrs this morning tweaking the freeware audio grabber I downloaded the other day (Exact Audio Copy), setting all the various parms & determining the read & write offsets, etc. Then it was off to the cube farm for another exciting day as a software engineer for the world's premier card company - American Express! (Wearing my State of Arizona tartan & Clan Donnachaidh shirt.) Seeing as it's the end of the workweek, my night owl ways had me too tired to bicycle to work so I made my unnecessary contribution today to global warming. Too bad, too, because with the "cold" spell we've had for the last couple of days, today will probably be the last day until October where our high temp will only be in the double-digits. At lunchtime, I walked over to Starbucks & picked up the new Paul McCartney album (how times have changed) & then walked down to Office Max & got a couple of spindles of 100 CD-Rs. Tonight, I'll start using my new audio grabber along with my .FLAC Frontend audio compressor utility to start archiving the 7,000+ CDs in my music library, as well as finish putting away the remainder of the couple thousand CDs I took to my last DJ gig. Tomorrow I'll give blood (double-dose) & go to our local Kilt Night & help Ayin McFye celebrate his birthday (& anesthetize his tooth-ache).

    Life is better kilted!
