The final Spec-Magical Day segments from earlier this year.

As the notion of retirement becomes more of a reality, I'm still surrounded by mementos and thoughts of my last job (if it was really that).

I bought myself an actual standing workstation.

It brought back memories of other ways I've misused this concept in the past.

Thinking about fast food and also summer camps.

Made two trips to a crazy book house this week.

Photos are on Facebook, if you care to see what I was dealing with.

I'm going back (!) so I will take a few more on Monday!

A recent "bill" addressed to someone purportedly living at my address reminded me of some similar scams and thievery from the past.

I'm trying to beat the heat and get some work done.

Can't say I've been entirely successful. 

Things are getting back to normal, as far as kids summer activities, looking for possible jobs, and dealing with home repairs.

I worked the polls for the NYC June primary election. Here are some segments talking about my interactions with voters and volunteers.

It's the penultimate episode of Spec-Magical Day, as Matthew has called it quits. In these segments, "Matthew" learns how to ride a bike, Terry has a toothache, Gunther drives a snow plow, and pets wear hats. Plus a stupid dad sketch.
