It certainly has been a LONG time since the last time I checked in here. I suspect that the usefulness of this blog as a means of maintaining contact with many of you is diminishing. I had wanted to post on January 1, with the results of my walking goal. Unfortunately, Scott’s Dad was hospitalizedContinue reading “An Update”

Eric’s Big Day
One of the consequences of my job is that I can’t always be specific about what it is I do. Normally, that’s not too big of a deal. The more “hush hush” stuff that I do is also really, really boring! But, today, at 11:45 am (MT) a project I have been working onContinue reading “Eric’s Big Day”
Wednesday Anecdote
Just a short little anecdote this morning to pass the time. In my previous post, I mentioned the great luck I have been having with getting my blood sugar levels and my weight under control. I said, I believe, that I had purchase two new pair of jeans, waist 38. So over the past fewContinue reading “Wednesday Anecdote”
May I brag?
Since I last wrote, there have been a few minor changes here. The first is, so far my attempt to lower my blood sugar appears to be a resounding success. The elimination (or near elimination) of bread and other starches from my diet means I have lost weight. And, my daily blood sugars are hoveringContinue reading “May I brag?”
In Which I Spew Numbers
These past six weeks have been tough since I last wrote! First of all, there’s been getting used to Scott’s absence during the week. All three of us (Ixchel, Dakota & I) miss having him around. Dakota appears convinced that it is my fault that Scott is gone, so she refuses to sleep in theContinue reading “In Which I Spew Numbers”
Oh To Breathe
This morning, upon arrival at my office, I was greeted by an email from our Maintenance Personnel. It’s the kind of announcement that I suspect one would ONLY receive at NASA: There will be a site-wide breathing air outage on Thursday, 3/17/16 through Friday, 3/18/16 Presumably, we are expected to hold our breath for theContinue reading “Oh To Breathe”
Best Laid Plans
This will be a short post, I think. But I wanted to bring everyone up to date on the past 6 or 7 weeks. After New Years, Scott and I flew to Washington DC for the 2016 Society for Historical Archaeology convention. We got to see a little of the city, taking the first twoContinue reading “Best Laid Plans”
Walking? Again?! Please, bear with me!
Well, let me begin this blog post by saying if you don’t want to read this I totally understand. It IS a bit boring, and I’m sure everyone is just about so done hearing about my walking. But, if you can bring yourself to it, I do hope you finish this blog. I suspect thisContinue reading “Walking? Again?! Please, bear with me!”
First Down and Goals to Go
Well, it’s official. At approximately 4:15 am on December 21, 2015, I passed the 1700 mile mark for miles walked this year. I hope to now end up around 1730 miles before the year is up. Maybe even further! We’ll see. I’ve already set my 2016 goal at 1,900 miles. I’m already feeling intimidated! And,Continue reading “First Down and Goals to Go”
To Whine or not to Whine… and perhaps some cheese to go with
I’ve been wanting to post for several weeks now. The problem is, nothing comes to mind. I sit down, with a topic in mind, but I just can’t seem to get it to coalesce into anything substantive. Today’s post is not likely going to be any better. But, I’m pretty determined to post anyhow…even ifContinue reading “To Whine or not to Whine… and perhaps some cheese to go with”
