Death Trap, Work, & CPK…

I got up at about 10:00, and went downstairs to put on some coffee. I heard Jeff stirring directly. He came down, and we had a little breakfast of bagels. He left at about 11:00. I went to see the matinee of Death Trap at 3:00, the closing performance of the play Gregor is starring … Read more

Another movie and Legends…

Jeff woke up at about 9:00 and woke me up. We left for work at about 10:00. I did a lot of personal stuff at work… just couldn’t get into work stuff. I ran out to Quizno’s for lunch for us. The one on S. Miami wasn’t open, so I went to the one at … Read more

Ice Cream Day at work…

I had a 7:40 eye appointment today, my annual exam. I dropped Jeff off at the office at about 7:15, and was at the doctor’s office by about 7:20, 7:25. They ended up starting early with me. Those machines they use to do all the tests are very cool to me. When the assistant finished … Read more

Dinner and dancing…

We had book club lunch today — just me, Suzanne, and Mary. Sharon was getting a haircut, and Janet had a gazillion things to do before leaving for London, where she has yet made sleeping arrangements. Oh yeah, she’s flying back on the Concorde. We (Courtney and I) met Mary Lou, Jay Chaffin, and his … Read more

Back to work… and Courtney arrives…

Today was the first day back at work. Pretty uneventful. I worked until about 7:30. I picked up Courtney at the airport at about 10:45PM. We ate (surprise, surprise!) and listened to my recordings from my ride, and then hit the sack.

Homeward bound…

We got up at around 9:00 with construction being done to the hotel. I had a great night’s sleep, though. We packed up and checked out at about 11:00. We walked down to a bakery I knew of on the way to the subway stop. We walked by it, and checked out some of the … Read more

Tour de Friends Day 4

Once again, it was a restless night, and we were up bright and early with the noise all around us. It’s an exciting day to be up, though, as it’s the home stretch. We packed our gear, and actually chose to forgo breakfast this morning, thinking it not worth having to trudge through the incredible … Read more

Tour De Friends Day 3

We had breakfast in the building. As I reached for a pack of ketchup that had the word “fancy” on it, I asked the lady behind the counter there, “Do you have any of the non-fancy ketchup?” She started looking all behind the counter. “I’m kidding,” I said. We found out today that we’re supposed … Read more

Tour de Friends Day 2

We had our alarm set for 6:15, but there was no need of that. Our neighbors were up by 5:30, and by 5:45 making more noise than anyone could possibly sleep through, especially someone as restless as I was to begin with. We scrambled around in the tent trying to change clothes, re-pack, and get … Read more
