Today was a hot one. I spent about an hour and a half or something in the pool today, and it was "feels like 42" or something.

Still Absurdly Tired
  • I worked at Vicimus
  • I'm married to Bekki
  • Lived In Dutton
  • Jensen is in grade school
  • Oliver is in daycare


I went to sleep slightly earlier last night, but was woken up by Jensen having a tantrum at like 3:00am because he had a bad dream and wanted to sleep in our bed and we don't let him do that. He would not let me go back to sleep, so I went down into the basement and slept on the couch. While I was up, I had a headache, and I was starving, so I think i remember eating a slice of toast and a glass of water, but it's kind of fuzzy. I laid back down and had an awful rest of the night sleep, with everyone sleeping in late, the morning was more stressful than most.

Absurdly Tired

  • Lived In Dutton
  • Jensen is in grade school
  • Oliver is in daycare


I am absolutely and absurdly tired. I didn't think I got that bad of a sleep last night, but thinking back, I went to bed too late, and Jensen woke me up too early, so I guess that explains it.

Happy Birthday
  • I worked at Vicimus

  • Lived In Dutton
  • Jensen is in grade school
  • Oliver is in daycare

Today was my birthday and I'm now 38 years old. I'm sure I could sit and write about the history of my life and where I've been and where I'm at now, but the time doesn't feel right for that right now. Instead, I'll simply write about my day.

A Love of Wine
  • I worked at Vicimus
  • I'm married to Bekki
  • Lived In Dutton
  • Jensen is in grade school
  • Oliver is in daycare


It's Birthday-eve. 

I listened to an episode of my wine podcast and they were talking about the wines that got them into wine and wine culture. I thought that would be an interesting exercise to try to think of answers to those same questions. I don't think I can write about it tonight, but maybe tomorrow or in the next few days I can see what I can think of to answer that.

Welcome Home

  • Jensen is in grade school
  • Oliver is in daycare

It's felt like a pretty busy week, time flies and lots of things to do. It never quite really feels like there is a time to be at rest. I had things to write in mine throughout the day or few days, but now it's all gone and I don't know what to write about.

Feeling Sick
  • I worked at Vicimus

  • Lived In Dutton
  • Jensen is in grade school
  • Oliver is in daycare


Woke up feeling kind of crappy this morning, a mild headache and overall not feeling great. As the day went on, it got worse, and by lunch I was feeling faint, increasingly sick and my headache would not quit. I decided that as an emergency measure, I would have a nap through my lunch break instead of walking, and it did end up making me feel slightly better (although groggy).

Science

  • Oliver is in daycare


Today during my lunch break, I had a meeting with Ben and a couple of researchers at Western for information regarding helping Ben build a project for them, a web based application that is essentially a UI over a database, with some logic to replace manual work, with automated work. It was interesting, very scientific, and I think it'll go well.

Sauvignon Blanc

  • Jensen is in grade school
  • Oliver is in daycare

A few days ago Bekki and I did a flight of Sauvignon Blanc from three different wineries, and two different regions. It's always fun and interesting to put a single grape varietal side by side and see how terrior and wine makers can shape the flavors in such dramaticly different ways.

Wine Makes Migraines
  • I worked at Vicimus
  • I'm married to Bekki

  • Jensen is in grade school
  • Oliver is in daycare


It's not news to say that wine gives me migraines. It's not 100% chance though, so there is always a chance I won't get a headache at all. Last night was not one of those lucky times. We did a tasting flight of four Sauvignon Blanc wines (Legends, Meldville, Toros and a New Zealand), and we didn't drink tons or anything, just half a glass from each probably, split between us, and my head was hurting by the time I went to bed, and was a full blown migraine by the time I woke up.
