Tools of the trade

This is what I look at all day. And I think everything in this picture is useful to my craft. Counter-clockwise from bottom left: reference books; a writing talisman from my cousin’s travels; external hard drives; cable modem; router; amplifier/sub-woofer; wine coaster/opener; a Virginia white wine and a red wine blend; satellite speaker.

Chemistry in the TFH

Chemistry in the TFH

I spent much of the previous weekend taking photographs for work, and much of the rest of the time developing them.

I sit here

All the time. And I love it. Actually, my back was killing me from sitting on the couch all the time while my old office chair was on the fritz. This one is way more comfortable than the one in my Reston office too, so hey. This is a good thing; in the TFH,...

A good day
