midmorning nap

midmorning nap, originally uploaded by pr9000.

I'm fricking exhausted. For some reason, I've been putting in those solid 8-to-5 days over the past few weeks.

First was for an event I coordinated for my company here in town that was well attended, but left me gasping for breath. And now the follow up, plus a whole host of other things, have me ready to pass out.

In addition, the Rickenbacker sold, as well as two of our unneeded snowblowers, and the Beetle is on the market.

It's just exhausting -- too much going on right now, and I've totally stopped exercising. This is it; I'm only going to get fatter and more out of shape from here.

Of course, one might say that trip is a short one.

I'm glad to see an old friend is blogging again. John and I ran the long-lamented pr9000.net website a few years back -- hard to believe, but it was in October 2001 that we started. And he and I blogged for a long time, though I'm not sure you'd call it a blog as much as a wanna-be Slate Jr. It was fun, we had some great writers, and it fizzled out the way most things do that I touch.

John and I then blogged together, and then separately ... he dropped off, as I did, and my cajoling may have helped him start again. Of course, I've been on his ass about upgrading from 10.2 to anything released in the second Bush administration, and that's not worked too well, last time I checked.

I'm trying to do business with my old employer, and it's going to be interesting from here on out. It's very odd to deal with people you used to work with, especially on this side of a transaction. I hope it all goes well, but regardless -- at the end of the day, I still don't have to wear a damn suit jacket and tie.
