I was hyper-productive at work today, working all morning on my book. I also got an EAGLE communique out, which had to go out before I left for vacation due to some events coming up this weekend. We had great discussion about READ MY LIPS at MSBC today. Everyone had done their reading assignment, and … Read more
Had a real productive day at work today. The heat is on to finish my Guardian/Safeguard Agent book before I leave. It was announced that Susanne is leaving the team (sadness), and Jim is taking over as team lead (good choice). Robert came over for dinner, and we had pork chops marinated in teriyaki-ginger marinade, … Read more
Did a crossword puzzle with Robert during breakfast. He left after that. I napped. Prepped a few veggies (scallions and celery). Had a rather boring dinner… yellow squash, scallions and red bell pepper mixed, oven-baked French Fries, and a bologna and cheese sandwich. Two days of work this week, then I’m off to Aspen on … Read more
We woke up and MMMMMMMMed, and then had a great omelet breakfast! Robert cooked, and it was yummy! He spent some time job-hunting online, while I finished going through the closet in the guest bedroom. Later, he helped me around the house, breaking up boxes and putting stuff out at the trash. We looked for … Read more
I met Jim Laing for lunch today at Southpoint Mall. We ate Chick-Fil-A. Afterward, we walked around the mall once, and outside where he showed me where a restaurant we’ve had a suggestion to go to for an EAGLE lunch was. At the bottom of the escalator, before we went outside, we were approached to … Read more
I received my annual rating at IBM today. No surprises. Book club meeting was good. A new guy, Dave, joined us. He’s a librarian at Duke. John S. went over the discussion questions, and some of added comments at the end. Russell served a nice spread, and his dining room table was quite interesting with … Read more
A meeting kind of day at work. STC “Persona” meeting, installation for Diane M., and ITIM new release content. It amazes me sometimes how such brilliantly technical people can have no people skills. Stopped by home to have dinner. Left at 5:30. Stopped by Blockbuster to return the two Mame movies. Picked Mason up for … Read more
Looks like another business trip to L.A. is in the making, most likely February 24-28. Will move trip to NYC with both mom and dad to 3/1 – 3/4. I’ll get back at 10:30 at night on Friday and fly out Saturday morning at 7. Should be interesting. Prepared for the SeminarWorks volunteer organizational meeting … Read more
Spent 1 hour and 15 minutes in traffic this morning, and never made it west of Harrison Avenue. Turned around and worked from home. Dropped my car off at the new Jiffy Lube for oil service and walked home the long way. 15 minutes after home, they called and said it was ready. I walked … Read more
Got up at 10 today. Rob called at about 11 suggesting we meet at his mom’s at 3. I started cleaning out the guest bedroom closet. Found the rest of my ski clothes! Yay! I’m good to go a week Wednesday now. I beat Rob to his mom’s (no surprise). Doris and his mom were … Read more
