Several things occurred over the weekend, and the biggest laugh became the biggest headache – which has now spawned this post. Continue reading »

…Or is it?

I finally got a day off today, but I spent much of it doing nothing. I haven’t been feeling well – the plague is going around – so I slept for a few hours this afternoon in hopes of feeling better, but to no avail.

The whole weekend was a disaster. The tech that I was waiting on finally showed up Friday night at 11:30pm! It was far too late to start anything, so he called it a night and went to his hotel room while I had to stick around for another 90 minutes until the last show dropped.
