multiple jihads
Thursday, August 16 2007
setting: rural Hurley Township, Ulster County, New York, USA
The conclusions of two week overseas vacations always means a shitload of work for me, though much of it (such as the organization of photography and the obsessive chronicling) are assignments for which I have only myself to blame. I spent hours today in Picas (read more about that in tomorrow's entry) going through the photographs from the trip, throwing away the duplicates and the out-of-focus ones and writing captions for the ones that remained.
I also found myself putting out fires on the various websites for which I am responsible. It's amazing how much business can accumulate for a web developer when hasn't been fixing things for two weeks. Fortunately for me, I tend to be crisis-driven, since it's very hard to procrastinate through an emergency.
No multi-headed jihad is complete without a physical component, and for me this took the form of lawn care. I found the two weeks of plantago leaves daunting at first, but I made quick work of it using the smaller of our two human-powered spool mowers.
Meanwhile Gretchen was also making up for lost time, although this mostly involved catching up with all that had transpired in women's basketball during our absence.
