“The Guild” meeting night…

IBM (Stan & Joseph) presented at the Guild meeting tonight. I was a first time guest, and actually had a great time. I staffed the EAGLE table during the reception hour. I met a lot of people, and a lot of people seemed interested in our materials. The dinner was okay, and our table was … Read more

Fly like an EAGLE…

Got caught up with Jim today. Planned to meet Paul, Jeff, and Jay for dinner at Vertigo’s. Jay canceled early in the evening, and Jeff canceled at the last minute due to a death in the family of one of his friends. Paul and I ended up having dinner alone. Always good to see him. … Read more

Shopping… yucko!

After putting on my standard t-shirt and jeans shorts this morning, I remembered that it was “Panel Day” to the HR Partners. I changed into something less comfortable. I received another Thanks! award today, this time from Michelle. How cool. I went from never having any before this year to now having received the maximum … Read more

The sands of time…

The mostly social book club…

Tonight was book club night out at Mary’s new (and Janet’s old) place. Mary has done great things with the place. She’s only been in about a month, and has more things hung and put out and away than I have after being in my place since March. I brought my clarinet to give to … Read more

WCPE volunteer night…

Tonight I volunteered at WCPE’s annual telephone fund-raiser from about 6:00PM until 10:00PM. I met Mary out there at about 6:15 for my 7:00-10:00 shift. It was much fun taking calls from all around the country. Several people are listening now via satellite, cable TV, and the Internet. One pledge was from a female psychologist … Read more

I love going to the dentist…

I started this morning off with a dentist appointment to get a crown. Well, to get a temporary crown, to be exact. What an un-fun place. After about 30 minutes of drilling the hell out of my tooth (getting all the old filling and the decay out), giant globs of plaster were put in my … Read more
