I got up at about 10:00, and cooked some sausage for sausage biscuits. Yum. I went to Third Place at noon to meet Chasman. There was a black guy there, but he was working on a computer, and wasn’t looking around like he was there to meet someone. I had on my ibm.com sweatshirt to … Read more
I particularly liked these two today: Miss Manners, When is it “too late” to send a thank you card? Gentle Reader, When the person who was generous to you is dead, and you have to live with the knowledge of your ingratitude. ===================================================================== Miss Manners, I took my neighbor, a well-brought-up young man who recently … Read more
I finished my reading for Monday and Wednesday’s class today. The assignment for Monday’s class was to read the last chapter of Dynamics in Document Design. I’m glad to be done with that 500 page book. It’s hard to believe we read that whole book in four weeks. I’m glad to be done with it … Read more
Robert and I went to Bogart’s for our Valentine’s Day dinner. We had a $50 gift certificate from Robert’s nephew and his girlfriend, Bryan and Jen, and we used that toward our bill of just under $53.00. The food was very disappointing there, but we both enjoyed trying a new place, and we did have … Read more
Class was canceled due to Dr. Brad being ill. I went to work out, and met Steven. Nice guy. We had a good workout, and a brisk one-mile walk on the indoor track. Several of my This Week magazines are still in the racks. I was going to go to Trailer Park Trash, but as … Read more
We had the RTA GLBT Leaders meeting today, and we watched the Ken and Beth dog and pony show. I hope they go right on with their bad selves. I enjoyed the bagel, though found it slightly annoying to not have plastic knives available. Have you ever spread cream cheese on a bagel with a … Read more
The time flew by at work today. Lila kept me on the phone while she crafted an email – that is so not a productive use of resources. Then the 11-12 TIGR meeting, which ended at 11:40. I sat and ate lunch with Courtney, Pam, and Paul, and Steve Wood joined us about half way … Read more
I spent the usual Monday morning prepping for my 1:00. This cold came on out of nowhere. By noon, I couldn’t taste a thing. Hate that! Class was canceled for tonight as the professor’s house was without power and water. Not too sure why we couldn’t have class as we don’t meet at his house. … Read more
We got up around 10, and had a sausage, egg, and cheese bagel with Orange Juice for breakfast. Robert left shortly after that, and I read the rest of my Wednesday’s class’s reading. At 5:00, I showered, and then met Joe at Rockola for dinner. We had three appetizers for dinner: cheese fries (with chili … Read more
We spent a lot of time reading today. I completed all of Monday’s reading, and the first ten pages or so of Wednesday’s meeting. Robert left for a while to do the whirlpool at the spa — trying to ease the pain in his bruised shoulder from his fall on the ice a week or … Read more
