Ow! Sorry to hear about that, dude. Hang in there! Like nouriya said, it does get better.

Frustration Was very frustrated at work today. I was working to track down an issue and ended up chasing my tail a lot. It seemed like any computer I touched today decided to just not work, and people I needed to talk with didn't get back to me. Grr... But, all was made well again when I...

Daft Punk - Tron: Legacy soundtrack. Love the mix of electronic and orchestral instruments.

Heh. For some reason, this reminded me of one of my favourite aphorisms from the Lazarus Long stories. So much so that I just added it as my sig. Thanks! Felix

Cribbage Currently, I am getting my butt handed to me by a ten-year-old in cribbage. The little turkey is cutthroat! Argh! :) Felix

Guilty. My wife and young 'uns are always asking me, "Are you reading that again?" I try to read some of my favourites on a semi-regular basis (like LOTR...hmmm, been a couple of years, maybe I should start reading that again, as soon as I finish Starman Jones for the umpteenth time... :))...

Let's see... I played the cello since I was 10, all through high school and a little bit in college. I used to be in the local symphony, but had a falling out with the director a few years back and haven't touched it since. The rust on my fingers is probably 3 inches deep and my callouses are...

Hey, everyone. I've been lurking here for a while now, so I thought I'd go ahead and de-lurk and say "Howdy!" A little about me: I'm a forty-something male, been married to my wife for 19 years and we have two kids. We're still kinda working out what "poly" means for us. I've always leaned...
