Haircut and Cafe Cyclo…

I straightened out that damn Cingular bill for mom, and called her at lunch time. I asked her what time Dad’s appointment on the 27th was, and after his retrieving the appointment card, found out it was actually on the 25th at 9AM. This is good news, as I’ve decided to attend that appointment. I … Read more

Plans in a tailspin…

Leaving work, and turning on my cell phone, I have a voice mail message from Dad. “Please call home when you get a minute.” Can’t be good. Ring. Ring. “Dad? This is John. What’s up?” “How much trouble would it be to cancel our trip next month? Would you lose a lot of money?” Hmmmm. … Read more

Dinner at Eight at Three…

We slept in. Robert made coffee and served me it in bed. Then he made eggs over easy and toast for me. We had a lazy day, and ended up taking a nap and MMMMMMMMMMing before getting up around 1:30 to get ready for the play. We got ready in time to run some errands: … Read more

Dancin’ and trampin’…

I slept in today instead of getting up and riding like I should have. I spent a couple of hours going through my papers to be filed. Mountains of paper all across the country. I found my Tire King receipt, too — right on time. Got all the papers “categorized,” but they are still on … Read more

Games Night…

I brought three liter bottles of soda and a bag of ice to Games Night. One other person brought a bag of mixed peanuts. We had fun, fun games of Catch Phrase and Names Burst (I think it’s called). Matt looked so sexy tonight. Kevin really is amazing with the amount of “stuff” he knows. … Read more

Dinner with Judy…

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.

Lunch with Carolyn…

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

August Board Meeting…

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

Running errands…

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

The end of the festival…

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
