I got a nice gift today at work.  My friend Dave received some duplicate luthier tools when he made an order to repairs on another friend’s axe.  Since he had no need for duplicates and I am looking at buying tools, he opted to donate them to my cause.  In return, I’m going to find […]

Last night I opted to go to sleep right after Eve’s last evening feeding, so I picked up an extra three hours of sleep before she needed more food at 3 am.  This extra three hours made a marked improvement to my productivity today at the office, and I didn’t even need my Red Bull […]

Today was an interesting day at the office.  I knew that my day was going to get punctuated by Eve’s one-month check up, so I went to the office with the intent of having two productive segments of my day and it worked out very well.  I got a bug fixed before a meeting, fostered […]

So Easter has come and gone which meants Lent is over.  This year I gave up soda, which was VERY difficult for a couple weeks but then got much easier.  On Easter Sunday, I had my first soda since March 8th and I hated it.  It was bitter and unsatisfying.  I went to lunch today […]

Today was Eve’s first Easter!  We had a rushed morning getting her all dressed and ready for Church, and after Mass we headed over to our friend Teague’s house to share Easter lunch.  They had a HUGE spread… turkey, ham, four different potato dishes, and tons of desserts.  I ate way too much and much […]

I’ve been shopping around for guitar-building tools on Ebay, and after missing out on a few decent deals I finally got a decent one.  Someone had listed a small vintage Stanley block plane for $0.01.  Shipping was $17.36 from Canada, but I won the plane for the asking price.  I might have to buy a […]

Today was a pretty unspectacular day… normal fires occurred at work, grabbed lunch at Qdoba, and baby care in the evening.  Doug and Shelley brought us enchiladas for dinner, it’s nice to have friends supporting us while we get used to taking care of Eve.  Things are going well on that front as well, so […]

It was a frenzied day at the office today, I was filling in as team lead while one of my coworkers was away on vacation.  Naturally, that made us fairly short staffed and I had to address two issues that need to be fixed quickly so I actually got to do some programming!  After I […]

Today was our seventh wedding anniversary, which is amazing… it seems like only yesterday that we got married.  Today was also Palm Sunday, so we took Eve to Church with us for the first time.  We picked the Mass where they recited the entirety of Christ’s Passion, so it was a long one.  Thankfully, the […]
