The notion of management sagacity has come up twice in the last 48 hours, maybe because sanctimony is in season, it being the traditional graduation month and all.
Gardener’s Diary
Rain, finally.
It’s been foggy the latter part of the week, but we only got about 1/4 inch as of yesterday afternoon, earlier weather systems having missed us entirely.
Doomed to Failure?
After a certain number of years in business, one gets better at recognizing when a promising gig becomes an exercise in futility, a set-up for failure.
That’s The Word
From CNN:
According to NimbleCat’s latest figures, the top 10 metropolitan areas for new tech jobs are: Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Boston, New York, Seattle, San Francisco, San Jose, Dallas, and Atlanta.
Memorial Day Weekend
It was predicted to be a loser, but the weather so far as been good this unofficial start of the summer.
Memorial day brings garden pests and the start of bitching season, a high-pitched whine ending around Labor Day about the “hordes” of tourists, most of whom, truth be told, are a good deal nicer than the natives.
Gardener’s Diary
Plant sales start in earnest today, there are probably half a dozen at various locations, including across the street.
I did a survey of the gardens this morning and found only a couple of empty spots, so it’ll be worth it to check out what the Master Gardners have to offer.
An Opportunity Missed
I read “The DaVinci Code” a while back. Fortunately, I hadn’t purchased it, just borrowed it from a friend.
Having been interested in the Gnostic Gospels for a long while, I found the book tedious and pedestrian.
Not Bad At All
The wedding I blogged about a couple of days ago was a very classy, high-style event.
I got to sit with P&B, plus some old family friends. The band WAS good, the setting WAS sublime, and the bride and groom were happy and gracious.
My sister and brother-in-law really REALLY know how to throw a party, and their kids are savvy enough to have hooked up with in-laws who also have made entertaining a fine art.
Not a Good Day
This is triple-witching day in my little universe: a wedding, a reunion with the people I grew up with, and Mother’s Day.
Moonie
I have a casual friend in her mid forties who’s been on the dating treadmill since her divorce four years ago.
This lady owns her own home outright, the market value of which is somewhere around 3/4 of a million dollars. She’s gainfully employed and her kids are pretty much finished with their college educations.
She’s in reasonable health, attractive and has a newish automobile.
And she’s always, perpetually miserable about (you guessed it) some man.
