Today is Michael’s birthday and I have a lot of thoughts I want to capture about it, but, unfortunately, will not take the time to do it today. Maybe another day. I did a lot of TCW work this morning — organizing and catching up on the interested volunteers e-mails, databases, and e-mail lists, and … Read more
After a late start, we went to Comp USA, so I could see if they had any monitors on sale. They had a 22″ monitor, but it wasn’t on sale. We went to Best Buy. The biggest monitor they had was 19″. We went to the Card Factory, and I bought 8 cards (for Jeanie-baby). … Read more
Had a restless night’s sleep on Mom and Dad’s couch… back hurting, which seems to be going around… dad’s back is out from raking, Jeff’s back is out. Are we all getting old or what? Michael, Meagan, and Chris came at around 11, and we had a delicious Thanksgiving Dinner at around noon. Mom asked … Read more
I had a short day at work, leaving the office around 1:00 to head to Jacksonville. The traffic was pretty light. I called Mom & Dad from the road, no answer. Left a message. I called Vivian and Jeff on the way to let them know I was getting to Jacksonville earlier than planned. Mom … Read more
Another quiet day at work today. Made progress with Kim’s connection to the Xyvision server, so that was good. Unfortunately, she got a bad book from Jim, so we could never complete the test. When I made plans to meet Robert with his computer today, I had forgotten that it was book club lunch day, … Read more
I spent most of the day at work today doing my expense account. What a drag. I am having to deal with two charges to my Diner’s Club from hotels I made reservations for when Steve was visiting that I canceled but got charged for any way. What a hassle. Hopefully the Starwood request to … Read more
We woke up around 7:00 this morning, and MMMMMMMM! We went back to sleep for “15 more minutes,” and woke up two hours later. Robert made some coffee, we looked at Steve’s pictures from our time together in California, and then both showered. While we were there, James showed up to start working on the … Read more
Got to the airport at 5:40 and returned the Hertz car. It was unbelievably crowded for that hour of the morning. There wasn’t time to ask for “David,” the manager, to see if there had been any update on the “potential bullet hole” incident. When I got up to the American Airlines check-in counter, I … Read more
Today was a “finishing up” day at work, it being Casey’s, Sue’s, and my last day. I finished up touches on the Unix installation guide, and printed out copies for Gil and Dan to use on their next install. We had a “going away” lunch, a late one, with me, Kim, Sue, and Casey eating … Read more
Good progress again at work. Hey, this writing stuff is kind of fun. We left work at 5:00 and went to P.F. Changs as a “thank you dinner” to Dan. Me, Justin, John H., Levoy, the girl he has met here, Pat, Sue, Rob and Casey. I had the spicy chicken, which was my favorite … Read more
