The gang I love
This weekend was as good a time as any to take a step back from work for a bit, so I might as well wrap up some non-Fedora things I’ve been doing lately — less accomplishments than enjoyments, really. I got some reading done for pleasure, including one of Alan …
I was very pleased and excited to be able to give a Board “stamp of approval” over the weekend to the new Fedora EMEA group. It’s a collection of very dedicated and energetic Fedora Ambassadors working in concert in Europe to promote Fedora and expand our presence there. Max Spevack …
Today marked the end of this stage of my career, as I left public service. Yesterday, friends threw me a going-away luncheon where I told them, among other things, this (the best recollection I have of what I said): It took a very special job offer from a very special …
Phase Five completed this afternoon. There’s a spot of cleanup left to do in the basement, but the basement great room has now been converted to a pretty decent media room. We need to do something about the furnishing situation, but there’s a recliner and a papasan chair that make …

Stayed up late catching up on a little work and email. Woke up late this morning, sped out the door with daughter in tow to do some Christmas shopping for bandmates. Overspent and hope no one is shamed. Now I need to move my amp and cab (ugh) up to …
And now, I am officially two-thirds of the way to a family power trio:
Holiday cheer. Happy Thanksgiving day to you and yours if you’re celebrating this US holiday. I just put our turkey in the oven after its leisurely and customary morning soak in brine. Eleya made a beautiful batch of casseroles, side dishes, and pies. Evie is going to help her make …
