I love smack

I have no idea what I'm doing in a fantasy football league ... but so far I like it! I'm pretty sure that I'll be grumpy by mid-season, but the first week seems to be a success.

An improvement

nobody@vox.com(Roboco) — Thu, 06 Sep 2007 07:43:13 -0400

Thursday, September 6, 2007

The workweek builds to a late crescendo and can become so intense that you cannot stop dreaming about your perfect vacation retreat. You may struggle now as you try to focus on the mundane tasks before you. Your current solution, though, is to allow yourself the luxury of having both reality and fantasy. Your imagination is boundless; whatever you dream can be manifested.

Now THAT is more like it!

If I had known that something like this existed when I was in b-school, I for SURE would have gotten a bunch of kids together to play.

Water water, everywhere!

nobody@vox.com(Roboco) — Tue, 14 Aug 2007 14:25:06 -0400

This is NOT good news.

Water main breaks on N. Bayshore Dr.

A 16-inch water main broke Tuesday morning in the 1700 block of North Bayshore Drive north of downtown Miami. The cause of the break and the extent of the damage are unknown, but contractors are working in the area. Crews from the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department are on the scene to begin making any necessary repairs. Traffic in the area may be affected, county officials said.

The problem isn't so much that traffic will be affected on my way home from work -- I don't live over there. But, the problem is that this is ONE BLOCK from my future home, which I'm hoping will eventually be finished this year! I seriously hope that they haven't done any serious or permanent damage to the 'hood because that'll be one more reason for the city to take its sweet damn time approving everything.

Geez.

Oh, and it's raining pretty hard. So I'm sure they're excited about MORE water everywhere.

Good morning Miami

My crappy cell phone camera doesn't quite capture how amazing the moon was at 6.30 this morning ... it was bright, perfect white - against a midnight blue background. Pre-dawn in Miami is actually pretty cool.
