One more week cruises on by and I'm into my second and final week of this current tour in Hartford, CT. I'm working at the resolution desk handling claims inside which has been a nice change of pace. At first I was very weary about coming back to Connecticut but it is nice to get back to a 8-5p schedule again and to practically have weekends off. I started the Insanity workout when I got here as well and this schedule has been a perfect way to get into a routine....

There's a funny episode of How I Met Your Mother where Marshall claims to have had the best burger in the whole world after his gang of friends has the new burger at their local bar, but he cannot remember where he had it. So they take off on a whirl-wind adventure around NYC to find said burger (the episode features Regis Philbin in a very random role). Anyway, this got me thinking about my search for the best burger. Since I've been in Hartford, I managed to c...

Since I am taking all these classes in a week's time, I believe that this will fulfill my quota for the year. Another benefit is that these c...

Well didn't this past weekend just flew right by! Had to work both Saturday and Today but the hours are shortened. Saturday we work until 3pm and today we worked until 1pm. I have a sneaking suspicion that when these hours were created, they were created in order to not miss an NFL Playoff games. It worked out perfect that we got out on Saturday right before the 430pm game and right before today's game at 130pm. Chose to head back to Abigail's for some appetize...
