Planes, trains, and automobiles…

We arrived at Gatwick 1.5 hours late. I was concerned now about making it from Gatwick to Victoria Station by train, getting to Michael and Nick’s, and then leaving at 10:00 for the Waterloo Station, where we were to meet the group to board the Eurostar for Paris. I was supposed to have a whole … Read more

A long, cold wait…

We left Robert’s at about 9:30. The roads were fairly clear. I got to work at about 9:50, and the place was pretty deserted. I worked until about 10:45, when this announcement came on: “Senior site management has decided to cancel first shift for today.” I locked up and left. A lot of traffic lights … Read more

Well isn’t that special…

Jay and I left IBM at just before 4:00 for the airport. What a nightmare of traffic, mostly getting out of IBM and over to Chin Page Road. We arrived at the airport at about 4:40. There were no lines at the AA ticket counter, which was not a good sign. As it turns out … Read more

Jay called right when I turned my phone on this morning. He wanted to see if I could pick him up around 10:00 at Fred Anderson Toyota. As I walked down the hall to my office, Susanne followed me with my desk key. Yippee! Started incorporating Jon’s comments on the installation guides. I like what … Read more

Michael’s Birthday…

Today is Michael’s birthday and I have a lot of thoughts I want to capture about it, but, unfortunately, will not take the time to do it today. Maybe another day. I did a lot of TCW work this morning — organizing and catching up on the interested volunteers e-mails, databases, and e-mail lists, and … Read more

Sleepy head…

After a late start, we went to Comp USA, so I could see if they had any monitors on sale. They had a 22″ monitor, but it wasn’t on sale. We went to Best Buy. The biggest monitor they had was 19″. We went to the Card Factory, and I bought 8 cards (for Jeanie-baby). … Read more
