I got home a little after 6:00; the traffic was bad on I-40. I got off on the first exit, drove to 54, took it until Aviation Parkway, and took that back to I-40. 54E was not a good alternate route. When I got home, Robert was cleaning my bathrooms — bless him! We went … Read more
Class was good tonight. Dr. Brad has returned with a vengeance. We talked a lot about readjusting the syllabus due to his two-week absence, and morphing the assignments. He then tried to lecture about the chapters we’ve missed, but it was difficult because we’re not a quiet group, and we often interrupted with points, examples, … Read more
On my refrigerator…
Not as productive a day at work as I would have liked. I left at 4:00 to get home to get two Happy Birthday stamps (for Lisa and Jeane’s cards), but leaving IBM decided to run to Chapel Hill to deliver Robert’s laptop in case he didn’t make it to dancing tonight. Leaving Chapel Hill … Read more

I did a little research on the web for my homework to see if … Read more
I got up at about 10:00, and cooked some sausage for sausage biscuits. Yum. I went to Third Place at noon to meet Chasman. There was a black guy there, but he was working on a computer, and wasn’t looking around like he was there to meet someone. I had on my ibm.com sweatshirt to … Read more
I particularly liked these two today: Miss Manners, When is it “too late” to send a thank you card? Gentle Reader, When the person who was generous to you is dead, and you have to live with the knowledge of your ingratitude. ===================================================================== Miss Manners, I took my neighbor, a well-brought-up young man who recently … Read more
I finished my reading for Monday and Wednesday’s class today. The assignment for Monday’s class was to read the last chapter of Dynamics in Document Design. I’m glad to be done with that 500 page book. It’s hard to believe we read that whole book in four weeks. I’m glad to be done with it … Read more
