We got up around 10, and had breakfast out on the deck. After showering, we headed out to K-Mart to look for patio furniture covers and a grill cover. No success at K-Mart on Western; went to Wal-Mart on 70. They had covers for the chairs, and a grill cover. While there, I printed off … Read more
Robert got up around 7 for work. I slept in. I stayed in the bed most of the day to care for my back. I did the crossword puzzle in The Independent, and read most of the printed copy of the May issue of The Urban Hiker (http://www.urbanhiker.net), the magazine I will be published in … Read more
Robert headed out to work, and I got up at about 9. I finished the housework, vacuuming and mopping the downstairs floor. I spent about 15 minutes pulling clotted dust out of the entrance to the vacuum, where it had stopped the suction all together. I ran to the grocery store to buy the final … Read more
Robert went to work in the morning, and I logged into work at about 8:30. I forgot about my 1-on-1 meeting with Mel, and then spoke with him about rescheduling it. Robert and I rode to Smithfield because I wanted some Harry & David’s Pepper & Onion relish. We also wanted to eat lunch at … Read more
Court and I got to work at around 8:00. I had quite an unproductive day today, but was glad to be at work nonetheless. If Courtney wouldn’t have been here, I probably would have worked from home, and done even less. I had lunch with Jay, Robert F., Richard Z., Howard, and then Richard B. … Read more
I had an 8:00 wake up call. I showered, and walked over to the Howard Johnson’s for their “best breakfast deal on the beach” — 2 eggs, 2 sausage, 2 bacon, and 2 pancakes for $5.95. That’s the most I’ve eaten for breakfast on this whole trip. I had coffee with it, and two big … Read more
I got up at 8:00. We had a great breakfast of fruit (cantaloupe, watermelon, melon, and oranges), and English Muffins. I sat outside by the pool and read the paper, checked out the local obituaries, which were, for the most part, uninteresting. I checked in with Robert to see how his Saturday night out went, … Read more
Joe called at about 8:10 to let me know that I didn’t have to call him at 8:30. His sister had called at about 7:15, so he was already up and at ’em. He arrived at about 8:50, and we left at right about 9:00. We stopped by the post office on the way out, … Read more
I worked at home today, and was supposed to meet Adrienne for lunch from 1-2. However, last night Robert told me that he really wanted to meet me for lunch before his flight to Atlanta at 1:20. I called Adrienne and post-poned our lunch once again. She was totally cool with it, which is no … Read more
I spent most of the work day doing an effectiveness analysis on closed audit nonconformance. It was fun and tedious at different times. Fun to be creating something new, tedious to complete all the details involved in the analysis. The TCW board meeting was tonight from 7-9. When I got there, only Jan was there, … Read more
