I went to the “Counseling Center” today during lunch to “withdraw from school for the semester.” I get up to the window and had this exchange: Me said: “I need to drop the one class I’m taking this summer, so I guess I need to withdraw from school for the semester.” She said: “Are you … Read more
We got up at 8:30, and after showering and packing, went downstairs to Mrs. Park’s Tavern, the hotel restaurant, for our complimentary breakfast. I had a “Southwestern Omelet,” which consisted of chourico, green onions, and Jack cheese, and Steve had an omelet with bacon, onion, and cheese. It came with toast and hash browns. We … Read more
I got up around 10:30, and put on a pot of coffee. Steve got up about 11:00, and we loosely planned our day, deciding on finally finding the metro station, and taking it up to Boystown. While Steve showered, I ran back to the same place at which we bought our bagel yesterday, and did … Read more

Funny Photocopier Commercial I had a breakfast meeting with Mary and Suzanne, and we talked about our investments. Mary asked me how my “Sin Fund” was doing, and I said, “Good question.
