As I sit here on a Friday night, sucking at bowling, I’m at peace, which is weird. I don’t know why, I just am. I mean, it’s the 9th frame and I just broke 100. Normally a WTF moment, its just how it’s going to be tonight.
Well, let’s see, with the exception of a quizzie and the quickie post from the Police concert, it’s been about (goes to check site) a month and a week since I last posted. I hojnestly had gotten to the point that I was wondering whether I was going to keep posting or just take the site down. But fear not faithful readers (I know for a fact that there’s at least two out there somewhere .. Nikki being one of them).
So anyways, you might be asking yourself “Self, what has Dan been up to recently”? Well, that’s a good question, and you should thank yourself for asking it. Since my last real post I’ve changed jobs for one. Yes, he of the eternal job change has done it again. I am now … ready for this … the network administrator at the College of The Albemarle. Yes, *the* network administrator, as in 1, as in if the network goes down, I’m the one they call. Remember the Dilbert comic with Dogbert as the network admin pulling the plug? That could be me 
The job is 3 minutes from home, has a load less stress, and state pension and retirement plan participation, which is nice. Now to go grab those 2 different 401k’s that are floating out there and get them merged in ..
Let’s see, what else has happened in the past month? I think there was some New England team that won some major event … The Boston Red Sox won the World Series!!! Whoo. Any my wife laughed at my superstitious clothing ritual. Very simple. Odd number of Red Sox themed attire on Odd numbered days and Even number on Even days. What’s so hard about that? It served me well all season (I screwed up when we went to New York and wore the wrong number of items, thus jinxing us – same in Baltimore). So it’s appearing to be a timid off season. Let me just say “Re-Sign Mike Lowell!!” Of course the Sox picked up the elder statesman’s affordable one year option, so Wakey will be back. Let’s find someone to catch him (as much as I love watching ‘Belli catch him, I can’t stand watching him bat). A good season in all and the wife and I survived it (I think).
And then there’s the concert scene. I think we’ve finally calmed down a bit from the concert scene, but the past few have been outstanding. Of course there’s the Police show which we just saw, but before that there was Blue October and Yellowcard, which was also a great show (and more affordable than the Police). I might get some more pics up one of these days.
Well, that’s it for now since I’ve got to get back to work. Cheers and see you in another month (or less).
But since I haven’t posted in a while here’s a quicky. I sit here at the John Paul Jones Arena at UVa waiting for The Police to come on stage. It looks like it’s going to be a great show and maybe I’ll make a real post on my return to a real keyboard
BORN RAISED AND LOVIN IT!!!!You are all Mainah and wouldn’t have it any other way. You are the rare breed of Mainer that would never leave (even if you won them there megabucks!)
Without much fanfare, I got back from LA. A long trip, I succeeded in my mission to get the PD hooked up to the chemical plants, and the Sox swept the ALDS series. A good weekend.
But that’s not what this post is about. I’ve become innundated with spam and other material as has the misses. So, we’re switching our mail to gmail. Granted, the public address won’t change one bit, since I can just forward mail to gmail, which is good. Nicole is now set up with gmail, so we’re getting things to work slowly but surely. I’ll reset our POP accounts tonight, and we’ll really get on with the gmail love. Whee!!
