We had our alarm set for 6:15, but there was no need of that. Our neighbors were up by 5:30, and by 5:45 making more noise than anyone could possibly sleep through, especially someone as restless as I was to begin with. We scrambled around in the tent trying to change clothes, re-pack, and get … Read more
We woke up at about 6:00, and I got the last of my packing done. I also logged on, and comprised an “I’m off!” e-mail to my supporters, and attached two pictures of Michelle, and one of Ken, from the AIDS Alliance’s Appreciation Cookout last Sunday. I called Joe to let him know that there … Read more
I worked from 6:00-2:30 today. I got home at about 3:00, cleaned up my bike a little, and headed out to the fairgrounds for registration. I met Joe outside, and we went in to register. How exciting! Tons of folks. I saw Robert, but we went to take care of business before I spoke to … Read more
I’m catching up this entry, so can’t remember the exact details of the day. I know Courtney called me to invite me to the Nora Jones concert, and I told her I had too much going on getting ready for my ride on Thursday. Then Jay called me on the spur of the moment to … Read more
Started off the day with the PFLAG presentation in B500. There were a disappointing, I think, six people present. What a bummer. I enjoyed the presentation though, loved listening to the two PFLAG parents telling their story. The retired Baptist minister sharing his story was particularly interesting. I asked them what the most common impetus … Read more
We had our last training ride today, a 12-mile (more symbolic than anything) ride close by my house.
We had our 2nd to the last training ride today! We rode out at 9:30, and it was around 30 miles starting at North Wake High School. [Insert training ride journal entry here.] Robert arrived early afternoon, and we took about a half hour nap before heading over to Vann’s for the pre-concert party. It … Read more
We had a GLBT Leadership meeting this morning with Chris. Bagels, danish, banana bread, pound cake, coffee, and orange juice. We met in “Cafe D” off the 002 Cafeteria instead of our normal place in E301/B002. A poor showing, really. Cheryl, Stan, Mark E., Jay, me, and Jon. This doesn’t seem to bother Chris. I … Read more
As I was packing my breakfast at about 8:00 this morning, I remembered that I had a 7:40 appointment for my annual eye exam. Shit! On the way in, I called and they actually had an opening at 9:30, which I took. I got to the Dr.’s office right at 9:30, and at 10:05 they … Read more
We had MSBC lunch today. Sharon was out of town, and Janet never showed. Me, Mary, and Suzanne had fun as usual. Suzanne shared her frustrating customer service story with Volkswagen regarding her sunroof tubes saga. Unbelievable. Robert came over for dinner, and told me about the new car he had purchased, and all about … Read more
