I met Judy for dinner at Mojo’s. We both had the “Infernal” burger, which I love. We also each had two beers. We talked about a lot of stuff, getting caught up. She is going to look at trading in her hybrid bike for a road bike. Perhaps we’ll ride together in the future.

I picked Carolyn up at about 1:00. We had lunch at Pipers in the Park. It was great to see her and catch up! I dropped her off at RDU. I got home at about 2:30, and Robert arrived an hour or so later. Just after 5:00, we ran to NCSU to purchase play tickets, … Read more

I left work in time to check the TCW mail, as I’m not sure that Shawn is still checking it since he’s looking for a new job. We started our board meeting promptly at 7, and Wayne, Michelle, and Chris arrived after we started. Wayne seemed a tad put out that we started on time, … Read more

I stopped at Sam’s on the way home, and picked up our Grand Canyon pictures. They are so good! I can’t wait for Robert to see them. I got so excited that I put them in the 100-holder photo album right away. With 13 slots left, and 17 pictures (of Sedona and our trip back … Read more

I arrived at the Carolina theater with a minute to spare to see Summer Thunder. This movie was okay. I’m not sure what about it kept me in it, but it did. I didn’t particularly care for the ending. I moved my car after this show, as the spot I was in said “two hour … Read more

I arrived in Hillsborough for Bikefest 2003: Heritage Rural Tour at about 7:30. There were way more people registered for that ride than I thought there’d be. I checked in, and received an unexpected, complimentary pair of “Bikefest socks.” Odd free gift. I was rider number 325. The 20- and 31-mile riders rodeout at 8:00, … Read more

I left work at about 5:15 for the EAGLE reception being organized by Sondra at Satisfaction’s in Durham at 5:30. It was a bigger crowd than I expected, but still quite small for a free dinner. We left there at about 6:35. Robert spoke on behalf of TCW, as we sponsored Gender Euphoria, and then … Read more

I met Mary for lunch. Janet had a doctor’s appointment, Sharon’s in Ames for her dad’s funeral, and Suzanne was on vacation. We exchanged stories about my brother and her ex-husband. Interesting lunch. I forgot to give her money toward the flowers we sent to the funeral. I ran to Sam’s and dropped off our … Read more

I met Thomas Stellpflug (IBMer here on business from Germany) at the Ed Center, and we rode out to Elmo’s together. As we neared downtown Durham, Steve called to tell us that Elmo’s was closed due to air conditioning repair work. We met him (and Robert) there anyway, and we all followed Robert to T.K. … Read more

Today would have been Donna’s and my 25th wedding anniversary. Gosh. We talked briefly on Sametime today. “I have fond memories of the day…” I started. “Me too. HELP ME on your shoes, and Fred Stalnaker following us home.” “We were so young.” I responded. Later she thanked my for my postcard from the Grand … Read more
