Not involved in the nerdy for once
Work’s been getting even busier so I spent most of last week running around to client sites for this or that. Was a blur.
It’s hard to gauge how I feel about the work: On the one hand, not having to stress over coin is always a good thing; on the other hand, man, I’m beat.
On top of that, my bro came into town this past weekend because it’s my birthday in a few days. Didn’t really get to spend too much time with him because of all the deadlines I had coming up but Paul came over with his girl over the weekend and we all had some pizza, rum, and conversation.
I told Paul’s girl about Hopper’s Nighthawks because she and I are both insomniacs. It’s no fun.
While my bro was here, he showed us this game he played and my wife’s mouth was agape when she saw how quickly he played. She’s been playing it non-stop since then.
Me: Well, it’s been nice being married to you while I was.
Her: (deadpanning) I wish I could say the same.
Sherlock Holmes – as smart as he was – freely admitted that his older brother Mycroft was far smarter.
I joke all the time that in my family, I’m the dumb one. This is actually true.
But then again, I’m sure you knew that.
Her: (to my brother) …we treat for schistosomiasis.
Him: With praziquantel?
Me: This is the nerdiest conversation in my house that I’ve not been involved in.
Location: my desk
Mood: ambitious
Music: I’ve been sleeping in my bed
