Robert’s new place…

We made up a schedule for Kim’s visit: Tuesday, October 22 9:00 AM – Susanne will meet Kimberly at her hotel on 54/55 and Kimberly will follow her to the Tivoli building. 9:30 – 10:00 AM – Introductions 10:00 – 11:30 – John, Kim, and Susanne will prepare a detailed … Read more

Guest room day…

We got up at about 9:00, and Robert made French toast for us, and he tried out the egg poaching pan he bought me last week. DELICIOUS! We took apart my old computer and the desk it was sitting on, and packed them into Robert’s car. He’s going to use my computer to practice on … Read more

Farmers’s Market Breakfast…

We had breakfast at the farmer’s market. Yum. We walked around a bit afterward, and bought a couple of pieces of fudge. From there, we went to the Factory Card Outlet, where Robert looked exhaustedly for a wedding card. He was a typical NP card shopper — always keeping his options open until a better … Read more

Games Night…

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

HOW I LEARNED TO SNAP…

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

Happy, Happy, Happy…

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

May birthday in October…

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

Productive volunteer…

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

Happy Birthday to me…

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
