Mary and I had this most fun chat today about my Tosca Mindmap:

Mary – i like your synopsis better
Me – lol
Me – it’s succinct
Mary – yea
Me – love that key in the water basin too
Me – it looks like a mushroom
Me – i have no drawing talent
Mary – now that is a negative statement
Mary – you must say ‘ i have not explored my artistic side enough yet’
Me – every time i wanted to draw something i would have to do something like google.com > images > cannon
Me – and look at how one looks
Me – and then try to draw it
Me – bless my mess

Me – lol
Mary – so much carnage
Me – and that canon STILL ended up looking like a penis

Mary – you are so bad
Mary – may i send this link to rodney? he’d get a kick out of it
Me – oh for sure
Me – whomever
Mary – it should be in the programs at Memorial Auditorium
Mary – more fun for everyone
Me – consider it (the penis-lookalike canon) FORESHADOWING… foreshadowing how everyone is going to get fucked in this play
Me – and die in the end
Mary – love it
Me – i mean OPERA, of course, it’s so much MORE than a PLAY
Mary – yes, we are not taking it seriously enough
Mary – we cannot sit there giggling when it’s so serious and dark
Me – LOL
Me – WATCH US
Mary – we will have to contain ourselves
Me – i must remember to take my calcium pill before we go (allusion to old lady in this entry)
Mary – love it!


I got the nicest card in the mail today from Steve with his reimbursement of what he owed me from our Chicago trip.

Outside: To My Dear Friend I would have missed so many things if we had never met — The happiness of moments much too special to forget…

Inside: The warmth of caring deeply and sharing as we do — But, most of all, would have missed the joy of knowing you.

Written: John, Thank you for being such a wonderful friend! I love you! Love, Steve


I was having a conversation with an IBMer in Mexico City today, and he asked, “Have you ever been in Mexico?” At first I responded no, but then remembered this one day in November of 2002. Oh what a day that was; I had to pee so bad my eyes crossed.

After I told him about that visit, he replied, “Tijuana is not Mexico.” 🙂


I got through a tedious, tedious edit today — of the DB2 Adapter Installation and Configuration Guide.


After work, I went to Just Tires in Cary on E. Chatham. They only had three of the kind of tires I want. They will have the fourth transferred from another store tomorrow. I plan to bring my car over there around 4:30 tomorrow to be done in plenty of time to leave for the opera by 6:50.
