Steel Kaleidoscopes

Quote of the Day

"Common sense is the knack of seeing things as they are, and doing things as they ought to be done."

— Harriet Beecher Stowe, Author

Life's Little Pleasures

Taking the back roads to work.

Hot black coffee on Saturday morning before anyone is up.

Seeing the gleam in a child's eye when discussing vacation plans.

Sipping a glass of Spanish red wine with a candle-lit dinner.

Thursday night football.

Putting up the Christmas tree early.

An iPod with Bose headphones.

A second Limoncello.

Weekends.

Lyrics of the Day

"When the pistons keep on turning and the wheels go round and round. And the steel rails are cold and hard and the mountains they go down. Without love, where would you be now."

— Tom Johnston, 1973

Transitions

Swirling leaves to swirling snow.

Sauvignon Blanc to Cabernet Sauvignon.

Goblins to snowmen.

Orange and yellow to red and green.

Free weekends to busy weekends.

Burgers and dogs to prime rib.

Open-window breezes to burner heat.

It must be the holiday season.

Veterans Day

Thanks.

Quote of the Day

"Find out what you like doing best and get someone to pay you for doing it."

— Katharine Whitehorn, Writer

Telemundo

It's nice to have Telemundo.

Working out to the new Joe Walsh album and the sound down, it's peaceful.

The basement is cool and dry.

Images of Spanish dancers and romantic dinners offer a quiet respite.

The first light of dawn edges toward the window.

Ready for the day ahead.

Tech Update

Quote of the day from a tech resource at a cross-functional meeting:

"We are using a JIRA Scrumboard called GreenHopper."

Noted.

A day in the life.

Craving

I could go for a bowl of peach ice cream.
