~Friday~ The second, and final, day of the conference offered to sessions, again with three presentations each, followed by a “Wrap-up and Feedback” session to close out the conference. My colleague, and friend, Sarah Egan Warren, presented on “Creating Student Chapters” this morning during the one-hour breakfast time. As always, she was a “smooth operator,” … Read more
~Saturday~ I got up at 8:30 and dad was already up. I showered and got dressed, and when I went out into the living room, dad announced the he was running to the base to pick up the other half of a partial refill he received on some pills last week. I see where I … Read more
~Sunday~ I woke up at 9:30 this morning, but hung out in my most comfortable bed, checking in online, including making about 10 moves in the 8 Scrabble games I’m in the midst of, and in which I hadn’t made a move in a longer period of time than I like to let pass without … Read more
~Friday~ I slept in this morning, so happy to have taken a vacation day even though I was back in town, and could have worked. I spent a good chunk of time devising Thursday blog entries from the notes I’d taken on my phone of yesterday’s arduous travel day. I also took advantage of my … Read more
~Tuesday~ I was up early again this morning, since I fell asleep so early. I’m getting up earlier on vacation than I ever do at home. Bizarre. I only had a cinnamon raisin bagel, with cream cheese, and coffee for breakfast, and I spent some time there in the poolside restaurant making several moves in … Read more
~Monday~ I was up at a decent hour, considering I was on vacation, and Joe and I had breakfast poolside at the resort restaurant and bar. I had their three-cheese omelet, which is one of my favorites, and some wheat toast, along with some coffee of course. I worked on catching up my blog for … Read more
~Saturday~ I got up at 8:30 this morning, and I made up a dozen sausage “biscuits” before heading to Durham for our 10:30 Manbites Dog Theater board of directors meeting. Biscuits is in quotation marks, because the turkey sausage patties were actually on rolls, not biscuits. I walked around Geer Street looking for the building … Read more
~Friday~ I drove over to the Wolfline stop, because I was sure I’d missed the 8:15 city bus, but as I was pulling out of the entrance to my townhouses, the city bus drove by. It was 8:23. Oh well. I caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus at Avent Ferry and Gorman. I was … Read more
~Sunday~ I got up at about 9:30 today, after trying to go back to sleep for an hour. I tested the mixture for the deviled eggs, which I immediately didn’t like. It was way too salty and the taste just wasn’t where I wanted it to be. I considered just tossing them all, but then … Read more
~Saturday~  I devised Wednesday’s, Thursday’s and Friday’s blog entries from my phone notes and posted them. I made moves in the many Scrabble games in which it was my turn: I created a doodle.com poll to schedule September’s, October’s, November’s, and December’s Salons and sent the link to the members. I was getting ready to … Read more
