Is Spring Almost Here?!?!

Hi, all you people who don't read or leave comments!
Today has been sunny and almost warm! Tomorrow it may even reach 50! I have the windows open as I write this. I am so happy to hear outdoor noises and feel a breeze blow through the room, it makes me feel serene. That's a good thing, too. The traffic during the commute home this afternoon was stupid bad, and I was ready to scream. I noticed it started to melt as I turned the key and walked through my front door. Must be why I call this place "home".
I stayed up way too late last night watching TV. I am becoming a Law & Order addict. I can't help it; it's on like 5 times in an evening, depending on the channel. Then Without a Trace came on (great show; Anthony Lapaglia plays a great role) - had to stay up for that. Then NYPD Blue - yup, watched that, too. I've been without cable TV so many years, I feel like I have to catch up on all this stuff I missed. It's funny, really; I'll go into work saying, "Did you all see this show on TV?" And I'll describe the show and everyone will tell me that the show has been on for six or seven years. Oops. One guy calls me the Wayback Machine. Too funny.
So, uh...
It gets lonely around here, and I could use some more company than just my cats. If anyone wants to leave a comment or e-mail me, I would really appreciate it.

The PC Guy

Well, that's how I'm known at work: The PC Guy. I have a side business upgrading/repairing/building computers. Recently I expanded the business a little to designing and building web sites. It doesn't leave me much time for going to my day job, but I like it a lot more, I can tell you that.
I have been thinking about how I can use my blog as a tool to help people. I have come to the conclusion that that is a wee bit pretentious of me: how in the world would I know how to help someone? Jesus, I barely can help myself these days! I guess the best thing for me to do is to write about my life and what goes on in it. If anyone gets anything out of it, great. Take what you need and leave the rest.
Until next time, take it easy and be well!

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!

Once again, it is dumping this stuff all over this neck of the woods. I must admit, I am so sick and tired of it. This amount of snow has to be some kind of record for New England, or at least Connecticut. I've been here off and on since 1984 (God have mercy on my soul), and this is the most snow I can recall for many years. (Of course, they say that at 40, your memory isn't what it used to be - I'll get back to you on that later, if I can remember to...)
It's been a helluva week. Worked Monday, got sick Monday night, stayed home in bed Tuesday and Wednesday, by Thursday I was going stir crazy so I went to work, and Friday was so slow, it seemed like a week just by itself!
Someone at work was selling a chair: a recliner that looks like a regular chair; I didn't know they even made such a thing! (Here is a similar one; take a look!) Last night, I went to Westerly to see it. My recliner is kind of old, so I thought it might be nice. It needs some work, but it's not anything I can't handle. And if it doesn't turn out good, I can always turn around and sell it myself! But it's nice.
Today is not turning out the way I wanted due to the snow (6" expected by this evening, I believe). I wanted to go to this concert this evening, but I don't think I want to drive 40 miles each way; sorry, Kevin! So I guess I will clean my house, wash some laundry, build a couple of computers, and watch some movies. First, though, I am going to try out my new DVD burner. I'm excited; I can (supposedly) duplicate DVDs, so I can rent 'em, burn 'em, return 'em, and watch 'em whenever I want! Ain't it great?!?
You all have a wonderful day, and I hope it is better weather wheverever you are!

What a weekend!

Hi, everybody!
I just wrapped up a wonderful weekend with my children - the third weekend in a row that I've had them. I have gotten so used to having them around in my house, it seems very quiet when I'm alone. I don't have any dogs, and my cats are usually pretty quiet (until around 1 AM or so, at which point they start racing up and down the hall, chasing each other - or they sit at the foot of my new majesty palm tree in my bedroom, noisily enjoying a midnight snack on the leaves). So I am left to talk to myself. Sometimes silently, others aloud. It's OK; I'm not going to turn myself in to the sanity police. Besides, I am 40 now; I know that it's normal to talk to oneself. Everybody does it. (Right???)
I got out of the blogging experience very shortly after starting (this past summer). I didn't have much to say, and my time is ususally at a premium. Then I discovered Meg's blog. Ohmigod, I laughed and cried (okay, so I didn't cry - but I could have) and read the entire thing. Took all of this morning. She is going through a lot, this woman, but she seems strong, so I think she's going to be alright. Hang in there, Meg; we're all rooting for you (except Rick, but screw him, anyway).
So I thought, maybe I could do something to give back to the community. I have some insights and opinions, sure, but I have been through a lot myself and I love to help people in whatever way I can. So I will be thinking about the best way to use this blog to do just that.
Until next time, be well.
