After a lot of gut-wrenching moments, we’ve decided to remain exactly where we are, in regards to both residence and jobs1. The angst over the life/work situation came to a close today, about 20 minutes before what was to have been my farewell lunch, which turned into a salute to our team of admins, and [...]

Seems like every time I visit this old blog, the West Virginia University logo is in the right sidebar. There are three graphics that display, in some sort of random order.
No matter. Go Mountaineers! Except for basketball season1, in which case it is, was, and ever shall be Rock Chalk Jayhawk!
And maybe [...]

More precisely, the friend is one of my little bride’s current co-workers. Even better, he lives in Bridgeport.
MLB called him earlier today; he’s gonna show me the Bridgeport ropes after I get to the area.
There’s nothing like someone with local knowledge to show one around. Our West Virginia network has a [...]

We’ve made contact with a West Virginia realtor, thus far by email. I sent her a general overview of house styles, locations and price ranges that would trip our trigger, and she promptly sent back links to 7 houses.
MLB and I looked at them the other night, and 4 of the 7 [...]

I was just talking with my little bride about bank accounts and financial provisioning in our new location.
It has been close to 20 years since we’ve opened a checking account. In earlier times, we’d cut a check from our old bank, combine it with cash1, trundle to the bank, and open an account.
The 21st Century [...]

My little bride’s last day at her current gig is September 19.
We are getting into serious logistics planning and budgeting. I’m one to stew and fret over every little niggling detail; I wind up settling for Mixed up and Splendid operations.
This old blog’s tagline is Whistle through your teeth and spit. Another line from that [...]

The Bridgeport WV weather has been promoted ahead of the Reston VA forecast in the sidebar.
tbbs-land will be ready when I begin typing this drollery from Almost Heaven.
Though the heavenward direction starts with my seeing Northern Virginia recede in my rear view mirror.
A beautiful sight, to be topped only by Wild, Wonderful West Virginia.
Start your [...]

As I look forward to removing the Senseo coffeemaker and USB lava-lamp from my shabby cubicle a short 2 weeks away, I’m engaged in explaining to a couple of co-workers what I’ve been doing for the last 5 years. The old knowledge transfer, memory dump game.
I’m tweaking scripts, showing them how the Solaris and Red [...]

In days past, when I’ve resigned a job, one of the first questions asked is “Ken, what can we do to keep you?”
In my current situation, this question has yet to be asked, because my resignation was submitted to doers, who are supposed not only to help make things happen on the job, but also [...]

If you visit the blog, as 3 or 4 readers do faithfully each day, you may see a West Virginia University logo from time-to-time in the right sidebar.
No worries; I’m a Kansas Jayhawk at heart, and will bleed Crimson and Blue for the rest of my years.
OK, then.
