resurgence


"The road to hell is paved with good intentions." - Old English proverb

It's me, back from the dead! At long last I've returned from my two back-to-back trials in Washington, DC. I barely had any time to take photos on this last trip. I was pretty much working around the clock, no time for monkey business. I previously would use the expression, "I'm busier than a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest." Reviewing some of my time records, I managed to work 116.55 hours one week. It was also a long time away from home, 33 days in total this time. The funny thing is I hear that you can qualify for residency in DC if you've lived there for 30 days, so I could in theory apply for it. I don't think you'd want to though, after all, the city motto that's stamped on every auto license plate says, "Taxation without representation".

While I was gone I missed a few major events -- our 5th wedding anniversary on Sept. 26, and then my mother's birthday on Oct. 4, and my own b-day on Oct. 10. Like that Adam Sandler movie Click, it does feel sometimes like some part of life has passed me by. Fortunately my family has been waiting patiently for my return and welcomed me back with open arms.


Loyal readers may remember that I ordered a new set of wheels for my Lexus way back in March... well they did finally arrive in July but I just realized that I hadn't found the time to post up photos of them on the car yet. Here's a link to some photos I took:

Anyways now that I'm back with some free time and some overtime paychecks to spend things may pick up around here again... as always stay tuned. And hey, just a quick reminder, if you happen to like shopping on Amazon.com, just help me out by clicking through on the links to the right or at the very bottom. Thanks.
