Non day at work.

No workout.

Yummy nostalgia dinner. Tater tots, mac and cheese and fish sticks.

2017 85

First day at work this week.

Fun weekend and the last one planned until the first weekend of June. I need to fix that.

Chef Teri is quite under the weather today. A track mile was all she wanted to entertain. SO we did get our one hundred days mile in.

Zupa Toscano, yummo.

2017 84

Monday, rest day.

Grocery shopping and walking were the only two things we really did today.

2017 83

Second an final day of SC Comicon.

Brunch was solid.

More comic bin diving. Finished checking out all booths than went back to grab some more comics.

Much soreness as we head back home.

Dinner was maybe the best meal of the trip.

Starbucks, peanut butter pie and our couch to finish up the night. Feels good to be in our place.

2017 82

Cool breakfast at a cool place. See Facebook.

Con was cool lotsa walking around. Got some Avengers v1 back issues. Chef Teri wants to collect Wonder Woman, looks like v1 & 2.

Did some UrbX yesterday to get our walk in. Today no need to do more than what we did at the con.

More good food and retiring to the room to check out our con grabs.

2017 81

Up and ready to go this Friday morning.

Nice trip until the last leg and it was waaaaaaaaay too long. Not gonna do that route going home, that's for sure.

Facebook has our food adventures.

2017 80

One more sleep and a four day weekend begins.

Workout was tougher than I like, of my own making.

Dinner was nice.

Monday, off day to recuperate from the weekend trip.

Trying to organize a summer family get together. Makes me relive why I never try to do this kind of thing with my family.

Now catching up from this weekend and planning ahead for next.

Every season some episode of DwtS on ABC goes fucking FUBAR on DirectTV.

2017 76

Last night was better.

Chillin till time to check out.

Limestone Donuts and Coffee. Nice bohemian feeling place.

Book hop hitting up various book stores. Found a half price book place that actually encouraged Chef Teri to buy some books. It's usually me that does so.

Trendy Irish pub for fish and chips. It was better than the last time I tried that particular;ar dish but still not what I want.

Easy trip back home.

Chillin.

2017 75

Tough nite sleeping, different circumstances always take a toll.

Breakfast at Doodles.

 Six mostly mindless hours visiting the folks. Man it gets harder each time. Very torn as far as how to handle it.

Dinner at cool Greek place. Best greek yet and top five food ever.

Not want to sleep tonite. Don't want a repeat of last night.

2017 74

Friday. Last day of the work week.

Start of a weekend away. Kinda unfortunate it's my birthday weekend but oh well.

It's very demoralizing to be at a job 8/5/40/52 and realize there are no professional advancement opportunities. I can see why some folks move around so much.

Time to head out for mini vaca. Ciao.

2017 73

Dr appointment this morning. Shot in the ass and blood drawn from the arm. I should be full now.

I feel off today. Actually been hard to visually focus for some reason. I think it fatigue, at least I hope.

Nice changes to our dinner method has made things feel really good.

Podcast in the can.

2017 72

Comic book day.

Ugh a day of much slowness.

Light workout.

Comics.

Yummy soup for dinner.

Pen lost.

2017 71

Pens lost in a shootout last night. Boo!

Today I get to attempt to fix a vendor configuration issue that I have no knowledge about other than what I am told. Anything goes sideways I have not a clue.

SO that was relatively painless.

Chef Teri and I finished watching The Good Karma Hospital. One of the better shows we have watched in a while.

2017 70

Called in today. Needed more time to rest the body after yesterday's hike plus time to settle my mind.

Podcasts and comics to relax with plus plenty of down time napping.

Yummo chili for dinner. Thanks Chef Teri.

2017 69

Large filling breakfast from Chef Teri to help fuel me up for my bro hike today.

Getting the stuff together for the hike. Clothes, snacks, water and accessories.

Good hike with my brother.

Dinner at a trendy pace after the trendy place we wanted to go to turned out to not be open.

Home resting, hurting.

2017 68

Morning full of chores and errands.

Nice dinning at The Dish in Beckley.

Second 2017 home bout for the Beckley Area Derby Dames.(B.A.D.D.). They won and we worked out a very enjoyable sitting arrangement.

2017 67

Friday.

Preliminary plans include pizza and Pens hockey.

Feeling better today. Still blue just not as gloomy blue as the past couple.

Stopped by trendy take away place and was fed but left unimpressed.

Pens hockey, they won.

2017 66

Blah day.

Looks like recording BOOM! Addiction tonite is a go. Which means I should read but damn motivation is tough to come by.

Body combat.

Yummy pasta and salad for dinner.

BOOM! Addiction in the can.

2017 65

Comic book day.

Walk around the neighborhood to stretch the legs a mite.

Good Karma Hospital was the dinner viewing. Nice lower key feel good British show.

Pens game.

2017 64

Body Combat.

Tacos for dinner, yum.

2017 63

Monday morning. Yeah me too.

Getting older is starting to suck more each day and on several different fronts. I don't really like it and it's draggin me down somethin fierce.

2017 58

Comic book day.

Pens lost.

An issue at work is going to make me seriously tell some vendors what I think of their service. I'm getting pressure to make them do something. And this is from some who allowed an issue to continue for almost two years with this same vendor.

Also found out I duplicated shows on a couple podcasts which I can't work on at work but makes me wonder what the fuck I did.

Nice little chat on Twitter today with a woman I met several years ago via a blog post concerning her dealing with the grief from the lose of her husband 11 days after marrying him. Niva Dorell.

Major weather today.

Finished up this seasons Upper Deck hockey card buying.

Talking podcasting and disc golf on FB today. I seem to live a slightly eclectic life.

Wonderful dinner from Chef Teri.

Pens lost. Seems they are intent on backing into the playoffs. The next 16 games will be interesting to watch. At least we had 2016.

2017 57

This season of Dancing with the Stars looks to be one nearly bereft of interest to me. So many pros I like not involved.

The Appalachian region, particularly the southern coalfields needs a representative publication. I'm looking and don't see anything. Much seems to be based and focused on the northern Appalachians which in all honestly is a completely different animal than the coalfields and the further southern/Tennessee portions.

Body Combat was ruff.

Excellent off the cuff dinner from Chef Teri.

Pens up two going into the 3rd, bedtime for me.
