Be My Valentine?

Robert called just after 4:00 to say he wouldn’t make it in time to go to Crabtree with me to pick up my tux, so I went straight there instead of going home first. I tried on the tux, and everything was fine. I made Mark polish the shoes, which were “streaked.” He used Windex … Read more

A correspondence kind of day…

Class finished up at 1:00 today. I came home and worked from home doing the indexing for the Guardian/Safeguard document. I will tag the entries first thing in the morning. I sent some TCW correspondences, one to Mason about getting started on the feedback form, and one to Robert about updating the next round of … Read more

I’m so Dizzy, my head is spinning…

Another good day of class. Zach, the instructor, has a lot of energy, and I appreciate that. The team worked well together, and “interviewing Mr. Sanders,” at the end of the day was a real trip. Paula was like a Pit Bull on crack with him, and Rich was relentless as well. I thought the … Read more

TCW Board Meeting and Karaoke…

Today was the first day of ISO Auditor Training, and it was a good class. “Rich,” on my team is quite a sexy man, in his “messed-up-hair-I-don’t-care-what-I-look-like” kind of way. His mantra for the day was, “It’s a major!” (referring to the grade of an ISO non-conformity). Paula was the other person on my team … Read more

Catching up with Steve…

We had an EAGLE Officers Meeting after work today. Cheryl had to cancel at the last meeting. I made it clear that I need to be out of this communications role by the kickoff meeting, which is not looking good right now with 9 RSVPs. Also, the nominations for new officers is not looking good, … Read more

Out and about…

Worked on my address book for my Tour de Friends home page. Joe came over at 1:00, and we went for a 9-mile bike ride at Lake Johnson. Those toe-clips are really taking some getting used to.

Bike riding!

I got up with Robert at 7:00, and fixed his lunch while he showered. I packed him some French onion dip to go with the potato chips, a butterscotch pudding, and a bottle of water along with his sandwich and little bag of chewy candies. He sent me the sweetest note about it later in … Read more

Chicago and Scrabble…

I left work in time to pick up my new bike at Flythe’s by 6:00. I drove home via the post office off Clark Street to clock the mileage from there to home, in anticipation of riding my bike to and from there tomorrow to check the TCW mail. It’s 3.25 miles one way. Robert … Read more

Washing and filing…

Had lunch with Courtney today — “that carrot went right to my hips.” Vanadis stopped when passing to thank me for the installation work I’ve been doing for the folks in her department. That was nice. George B. stopped by on his way out of the cafeteria. He’s doing Weight Watchers, too. He’s lost 18 … Read more
