Planning Recommendation

Posted by Moose Published in Finance

Okay, I admit it, I’m in over my head here with this stuff. Anyone know of any good financial planners here in DC that they’d recommend to me?

Crossings

Posted by Moose Published in Finance, Habits, Motivation

I find myself wary of crossing streets. Go fig. Actually, I find myself wanting to have a large mace or sledge hammer prominently held in hand with which to threaten errant drivers (and just think of the weight lifting benefits of hauling one around!), but I don’t suppose that’s practical in this day [...]

Trying to Mellow

Posted by Moose Published in Exercise, Habits, Lists, Sleep

Got hit with a big nasty right before I left work. Won’t go into details (not that I ever do, with work), but I actually brought work home tonight.
Yes, I’m as shocked as you are, gentle reader.
Thankfully this isn’t the norm for my job or I’d have to kill someone seriously consider other employment.
I [...]

Who ya gonna call?

Posted by Moose Published in Exercise, Lists, Stuff

Got up, went to pack my gym bag, and discovered that at some point in the night one of the “slimer” ghosts from the Ghostbusters movies had visited the bottom of my bag. Thankfully there wasn’t much in there for the shampoo that leaked to get all over, so it was just a matter [...]

LJ’s security flaws managed a mention on the Washington Post’s security blog today. I remember seeing at least one friend’s account get caught by these folks, but it’s interesting that the MSM has picked up on it now.

The Cats’ Dream

Posted by Moose Published in Stuff

I think that there are few things more spectacular first thing in the morning than going to pour food into the cats’ bowl and having the lid of the full-to-the-brim container of cat food fall off.

PT Begins

Posted by Moose Published in Exercise, Health

Saw my new physical therapy person this morning. The verdict: more strength training, more strength training, more strength training. Whee.
Did I mention that I find strength training incredibly dull? Thought so. I guess I have to get over that, and fast. She’s given me a whole regimen of things to get my [...]

Knee, Training

Posted by Moose Published in Biking, Exercise, Relationships, Triathlon

The knee’s fine. The little ligament that runs down the inside of it is still mildly sore to the touch (technically a ’sprain’), but with no pain, I’m cleared to exercise. So I’ve done that (exercise), with two spinning workouts on my tri bike this weekend (yay for spinning DVDs to keep one focused). [...]

Knee Update

Posted by Moose Published in Health

The knee’s fine, other than a touch of soreness when I press on the side of it. I’m still going to see my orthopedist tomorrow morning before work (and since it’s a “motor vehicle accident” I have to pay up front and submit the paperwork to my insurance company myself – grrr) just to [...]

Wherein he criticizes his chosen profession

Posted by Moose Published in Law

I’ve gotten no less than 4 calls thus far this morning from shysters’ attorneys’ offices offering to represent me in a case against the gentleman who hit me last night. That’s just the one I picked up at home before I left and the THREE on my cell phone (lesson learned: never give your [...]
