I arrived at work this morning to find a voice mail message from Susanne saying, “John, I hope you don’t mind, but you’re going to Los Angeles for three weeks a week from Monday.” Actually, I’m going to Irvine, just outside L.A. to work with the Access360 writer, Kim, on rebranding the pubs for the … Read more
Great day at work today finishing up the Planning Guide’s final touches and getting them to the Web site for tomorrow’s GA date. Got home with just enough time to grab a quick dinner before David L. arrived to drive to book club. We took 64E to Pittsboro, which I had never done, so enjoyed … Read more
That’s where I am. It’s a good place. I think I’ll stay a while. Had a great day at work today. Worked diligently with Bill to wrap up the Planning Guide. I left work at around 5:30, and went home to read. I finished HOW I LEARNED TO SNAP at 7:40! Yippee! Now I’m all … Read more
Working on a deadline for the Planning Guide. Officially should have been done today, but will buy more time without penalty. Book club lunch today at the Tivoli cafeteria. Janet showed up late; no fallout from note exchange on swapping last week’s meeting with little notice. She was just back from her cousin Bruce’s wedding … Read more
I got six cards written… birthday thank-yous and my weekly card to Jeanie-baby. Also got EAGLE stuff in the mail to Randy. It was a “snail mail” kind of day. I spent a good deal of time this evening creating the TCW volunteer list that we’re trying to put together to create a Yahoo Group … Read more
I slept until noon — exactly what I wanted to do. I read HOW I LEARNED TO SNAP in the afternoon. At around 4:30, I shaved and showered to head to O’Charley’s. I met Will, Steve, Jay, and Joe for dinner. I had a delicious club sandwich and fries! Our waiter was dorky, and tried … Read more
60 Looks Good On You Hope all of your special dreams come true. “When you get to be our age, dreams are often interrupted — by frequent trips to the bathroom throughout the night — take those moments and open your eyes just enough to see how many of your dreams are coming true. I … Read more
I had breakfast at 10AM today with Donna at Gregory’s. I had a delicious omelet, preceded by two delicious cinnamon buns. We got caught up — always a pleasure. She had her Palm Pilot cradle to give me. Yippee! We spent about an hour and a half together. I left there and stopped by Lowe’s … Read more
We held our second annual National Coming Out Day Roundtable today, which was attended by nine people. This turned out to be a very informative meeting for some, and a very rewarding meeting for others. Interestingly enough, we had five “experienced” employees (ten-plus years with IBM), and four “newbies” (less than five years; with one … Read more
We had our October TCW Board meeting tonight. The situation with SeminarWorks came to a head. Patsy submitted her resignation, effective around January of 2003. Michelle was her usual generous, loving, and affirming self. Wayne brought cookies and tortilla chips. Jay brought Reeses pieces filled M&Ms. I went home and did two loads of laundry.
