Missing Blue Skies

(Kind of a vent, kind of a wandering post…)

So, what do you think of the picture below?

Smoky Moon

The moon tonight over Los Angeles, seen through the smoke from, well, everywhere…

Smoky Moon

Not quite the white it should be right now…

Surrounded by Smoke

Originally I was going to put up Saturday’s hike tonight, and I will at some point (the post is partially written, pictures have been selected, etc.), but somehow I feel like posting about the fires again.

Can’t help it. Mother Nature on this magnitude always puts me in awe.

Driving home from work, I looked around and found LA to be nearly surrounded by smoke.

So Much for Today’s Hike

This weekend was going to be a two-fer: hikes both Saturday and Sunday. I was feeling good, the weather was supposed to be warm, it was going to be great.

Saturday’s hike came off without a hitch (post will be up tomorrow night).

Today was a completely different story.

Friday Geeky Sillyness

I should be writing up the big long posts I have written in my mind.

Well, that’s what I feel like I should be doing today.

Delayed Reaction

It’s the strangest, most unexpected thing.

Now what I’ve finished writing about the trip, gone through all the photos, found all the links, and basically journal’d a trip in a way I’ve never done before, only now does it feel like the trip is really over.

And I gotta say, it’s kind of a downer.

I dunno, maybe it just means I need to travel more…

In Shock

(Last of the vacation posts are up, check out the Travels page!)

As much fun as I would be to tell you all that the day was a horrible nightmare (for which I know you all would be sympathetic), I can’t.

The day was, actually, pretty good.

So Far, So Good

(Last of the vacation posts should be up tomorrow.)

Well, so far, so good. After an entire day at work yesterday, the upgrade of the software seems to have gone okay.

Of course, that’s only half the battle.

Oh, This Is Not a Good Plan

(A bit of a break from the vacation posts, since life continues on)

Well, whatever plans I might have had for the weekend have offically been tossed out the window.

Here’s the deal: there’s an outdated form in one of our software systems at work.

One form in the entire piece of software.

Back Posting Begins

Well, I’ve started back posting all the stuff I wrote on the trip. Looking through the photos is taking longer than I thought, so I only got days two and three up today. *sigh*

Still, the photos are on Flickr now, and bigger, so that’s cool.

You’ll find future posts below or, for convenience, I’ve added a Travels page with links.

So, uh, enjoy. Oh, and don’t comment on this “back posting begins” post; I’ll probably delete this post once it’s all done…
