nematome What about the crap in the paper that I have to see 364 days of the year during my morning cup of coffee? Do you see me whining about it? 🙂 Oh, that’s right, I’m part of a minority in this country, so I don’t count. More Letters to the Editor: Promoting immorality I was … Read more
Robert and I went to Fayetteville to see a play tonight. The playwright is a friend of one of Robert’s friends, and after hearing about it Robert thought the storyline had some similarities to his father’s experience as a POW. Paying the Price (musical) Book, Music & Lyrics by Mark Walter Braswell Based on his … Read more
Other “normal” things happened today. This was the highlight, though: The story that went along with the photo Lisa took on Tuesday appeared, hugely, on the front page of the LIFE section of the News & Observer. I am so misrepresented in this article. What’s said in the caption, I never said it: “…some people … Read more
Cassandra and I had a short, but very productive meeting today. I documented our last two meetings with minutes. I turned in my Methods Analysis via Wolfware. I don’t like how you can’t delete a submission once you upload it. I didn’t know it. I changed the name of the file, and updated it with … Read more
Super-productive workday. My 1.5 hour ISO ID Walkthrough meeting went well, even though Mel never showed up. Karen Guzman called me in response to my email to her on “Awkward Silence.” It’s a story she’s doing for the N&O on Thursday. When it was all said and done, she said she was going to use … Read more

Again, I spent the day working on my project notebook. Again, tedious. I was supposed to meet Adrienne for a late lunch / early dinner at 4:00 at, I thought, George’s Garage. She never confirmed my email of Thursday or Friday, though, so at 3:00, I called her cell phone to confirm. Got voice mail. … Read more
I spent the entire day on the arduous task of creating Aardvark Enterprises’ Information Development Project Plan, and the Content Specifications Plan for the Job Aid — required entries in my Project Notebook for ENG 518. What a bitch that was — way tedious. And miles to go on the notebook, which has a checkpoint … Read more
Steve had a birthday dinner for me at his house. We had hot dogs (at my request), a potato casserole, and various other appetizers. Attendees were Jay, Robert, Joe, Steve, Randy, and me. Brian stopped by to say Happy Birthday. After dinner, I opened my “no gifts, please” to the tune of a big bottle … Read more
Richard Z. invited me to lunch at Piper’s and bought me a birthday lunch. How sweet! I had the Pimento Cheese sandwich with slaw substituted for the chips. Yum! I took Courtney to the airport at 2:00, and then worked from home for the rest of the afternoon. Class was interesting tonight, though there was … Read more
