According to my archive, I haven't posted since October 2nd. That's a bit too long, even for me. So what's happened?

1. Well, most importantly, I got a job. I started on October 15th at FluidNet, in yet another heavily regulated industry where software issues are a matter of life and death.


2. This job is up in Amesbury, MA. That's a 40-mile commute, but it's a straight shot up I-495. As long as the highway isn't clogged, the drive is very pleasant. (The highway is frequently clogged between the exits for Rt. 3 and I-93.)


3. My daughters are growing up. My elder has a pretty serious relationship, and is carrying a wicked hard course-load (including an AP Comp Sci course at MIT), and is kicking butt at it. My younger is just starting relationships, is interviewing high schools, and has completed her audition video for Advanced Circus Camp (where she's doing beautiful lyra work and juggling torches).


4. Poor tamidon has been laid up with Lyme disease. It's bad. She's in pain.


5. I'm overweight and out of shape, but my knees keep reminding me that the whole exercize thing will cost me. Of course, the whole lack of exercize thing will cost me, too. On the positive side, I no longer wheeze as much when I climb the four stories up to the office every morning.


6. I registered for panels at arisia, but have yet to hear back about a schedule or whatever. This may affect my near-term reading list, so I await with bated breath.


7. I have no idea what to do for Xmas this year. Don't know whether I want a tree. Don't know whether Brodie deDawg would behave correctly around a tree in the house. Don't really have the cycles after I get home from work to think about it. Maybe if we got a tree, put it up, but put off decorating it until we see how the dog reacts.

This is probably enough to post.
