Just another lazy day, I'm in the usual place

Happy belated VD, man. I'm sure you've patched things up with El by now. I hope it all went all right. Those disagreements or fights or spats can be hell while they last. I've called C* on her foul moods in the past. This only works if I do it in a way that's not too angry or annoyed--if I do it right, she just acknowledges that she's in a mood. If I get pissy back at her, it sometimes makes it worse. Other times, we both end up kind of cracking up. Ack. Moods. I can't stand the moody moods. I hope everything is well with you and the wife.

I liked your story about the hot night in providence. You really evoke young love.

I haven't posted in a few days. I was on a business trip south of Chicago yesterday, and the day before was pretty frenzied. Work is good--just too much of it right now. I actually am enjoying it quite a bit, meeting with folks and trying to figure out processes and systems. It's like a big logic puzzle. But I am already over my hours for the week, so I am doing just the minimum today (checking email and making a phone call). So, with all this time, I can actually post something here at last.

Anyway, I hope all is well with you. I am back home today, in my usual spot. Weather is pretty ugly out there--snow and sleet--so I am staying in. I may shower and go to the library to get a book, but I'll probably stick around the house after that.
