I worked from home again today. Robert came over late afternoon, and we went to Red Lobster for dinner. Delicious! While we waited for our reservation, we ran to Target to get some goodies for the movie. We saw Monster at Madstone. What an absolutely riveting movie! Charlize Theron will surely get the Oscar for … Read more

To: My Financial Advisor Subject: Your call Hi Nathan, Thanks for your call. Glad you enjoyed the story. Yes, please put the $3000 ROTH contribution in that same fund. I went to one of IBM’s financial planning seminars yesterday (put on by your buddies over at Merrill Lynch). They got me to thinking about a … Read more

I worked from home today. Class was canceled due to the weather. I chatted with Dr. Brad for about 15 minutes, getting some clarification on our assignments. I took advantage of class being canceled to do the TCW minutes from Tuesday’s meetings. It took me way longer to do them than I wanted them to … Read more

Carl Kessler’s meeting in the 500 cafeteria was interesting today. He sure used the word fabulous a lot. I spoke to him before his presentation, and thanked him for selecting me to attend the MPIT conference in May. I was glad to hear that he usually calls a round table of the attendees for a … Read more

I had a 5:00 – 6:30 work meeting with the Austin folks. The AMeB Quality Plan review. Randy Z just irks the living hell out of me. The CUPRIMDSO charts were not at all adequate. I left work at 6:35, and headed straight to CUCC for the 7:00 meeting. I called Jeanie-baby on the way. … Read more

The process meeting sucked today. I left work at 3:15 to make a 3:45 appointment at the NCSU health clinic to get my follow up MMR shot. They said to check in at medical records. “Take this form down there to where it says, ‘Urgent Care’ and put it in the mail holder on the … Read more

I worked from home most of the afternoon. Robert headed back to Chapel Hill at around 1:00. I met Joe at Flex at 6:30. It was super-crowded there, so we didn’t get a pool table. Michael Lester arrived after a while, and he, me, Joe, and Cecil (from the ride) chatted and laughed a lot … Read more

We had ham and eggs for breakfast. Robert ran out to the spa and to a couple of places looking for urns — with no luck. We looked at some on-line, which are a possibility. We went to eat at Red Lobster, but the wait was too long. We tried Fire Mountain. It was buffet … Read more

I got home a little after 6:00; the traffic was bad on I-40. I got off on the first exit, drove to 54, took it until Aviation Parkway, and took that back to I-40. 54E was not a good alternate route. When I got home, Robert was cleaning my bathrooms — bless him! We went … Read more

Class was good tonight. Dr. Brad has returned with a vengeance. We talked a lot about readjusting the syllabus due to his two-week absence, and morphing the assignments. He then tried to lecture about the chapters we’ve missed, but it was difficult because we’re not a quiet group, and we often interrupted with points, examples, … Read more
