I got up at about 10:00 today. I called Barnes & Noble at Crabtree to see if they still had a copy of The Design of Everyday Things in stock. The computer said they did, but when the lady checked the shelf, there wasn’t one there. She gave me to the number of the Cary … Read more
I spent a good portion of the day catching up my checking, American Express, and MasterCard accounts in Quicken. This will help me greatly when I go to do my taxes. It’s all caught up through the end of November, and backed up using my new memory stick — I put the backup copy on … Read more
I picked up Jay at 11:45 at the Airport. He returned from Christmas in Ohio with a keyboard in tow. He’s going to teach himself. It’s one of those that hook up to his computer. He has so many gadgets. I stopped by Mr. Toad’s Coffee House on High House Road in Cary, and released … Read more
I met Donna for breakfast at 10AM at Courtney’s on Six Forks. She gave me mini-binoculars, some lounging pants, and a $40 gift certificate to B&N. Too much, but nice. I gave her a ticket to see Miss Saigon. We had a good “catching up,” and left at about 11:15. I packed quickly and headed … Read more

It was snowing this morning when I got up. I went out, and moved my car out to Kaplan in case it gets icy. I began the cleanout of my bookshelves, and so far have 8 grocery bags full of books to get rid of. I haven’t decided yet what I’m going to do with … Read more
I left Raleigh at about 8:35. I actually remembered to go toward Gorman to catch 40E that way. Problem was, when I got to about Jones Sausage Road, I remembered I was not going to Jacksonville, but to Greenville, which requires 64E, not 40E. I made an easy correction, and got headed in the right … Read more
I called Starbucks in Cameron Village to see if they were open, and had gift certificates. They were open, but out of gift certificates. I called the one on Peace St. Open and had gift certificates left. I ran there, and bought Joe-Joe a gift certificate from Robert and me. I stopped by the mailboxes … Read more
I got up and fixed Robert a ham salad sandwich, put together two sausage biscuits, and bagged him some chips to take to work. I put all that in a lunch bag, and got back in the bed — all while he was in the shower. I left the lunch bag on the floor in … Read more
I made a dent in straightening up today. Got all my clothes put away, and my dresser tops cleared off. Still a long way to go. Also made a dent in the financial end-of-year stuff… downloading to Quicken, and printing off some statements. Miles to go there, too. Tried to take a nap mid-afternoon, when … Read more
