Sauna 5018

We went to Sauna 5018. We started walking but soon found that it was way too far to walk, and hailed a taxi. For less than $5, we arrived minutes later. This bath house had four floors, and a rooftop area. On the 3rd floor was a dark area, complete with glory holes. On the … Read more

A twelve hour delay…

I woke up before the alarm, and reset it for 5:40 instead of 5:30. I shaved, showered, and finished packing the last few things. Robert got up at about 6:10, and Steve arrived shortly after 6:30. We left for the airport as soon as transferring his bags to Robert’s car. Checking in was uneventful, but … Read more

Out too late…

Work was once again uneventful. I tied up some loose ends before vacation, and set up both my e-mail and voice mail out-of-the-office delegation notices. I stopped at Harris Teeter on the way home and picked up some Club crackers, Cajun crab dip, two filet mignons, and two potatoes to bake. Robert came over and … Read more

Donna’s birthday dinner…

Uneventful work day. Trying to get some things finished up before Friday, as I’m on vacation all next week. I met Donna at Kanki at Crabtree for her birthday dinner. I got there at about 6:50, and there was no line. She arrived at about 7:05, and we had to put our name on a … Read more

Great ISO news today…

I ran to Sam’s during lunch today to get some cookies for this afternoon’s four-hour meeting. We finished the ISO audit today with no major nonconformances. Quite a feat. I gave Becky and Dana high fives once we got outside the door. This was the culmination of months and months of work, and it’s good … Read more

ITIM ISO audit…

I spent the whole day sitting in on the ITIM ISO audit. I think it’s actually going pretty well. I don’t think Randy has noted one major nonconformance yet. We’ll see tomorrow. Tonight I snuck in a few games of Zuma, while listening to the DNC. I really liked Mrs. Kerry’s speech, of which I … Read more

The Son’s Room…

My Monday meeting went well today. I stopped at Sam’s Club on the way home, and bought a pair of shorts, some chips, some granola bars, and some vitamins. I came this close to buying a television with a built in DVD player in it, because the movie I am trying to watch on my … Read more

Excruciating karaoke…

I got up at noon. I pretty much pissed the day away. I did walk two miles on the Carmichael indoor track, and stopped at the grocery store on the way home. Joe called about going out for dinner, and then possibly to Flex. We met at “Two Guys” on Hillsborough Street for dinner at … Read more

Shopping, bears, and accidents, oh my!

I got up at about 9:30, had breakfast, read through the obits, and played three games of Zuma. On that final game, I broke 100,000 points, and “retired.” I spent a few minutes creating an announcement for my retirement, and posted said announcement to this journal. 🙂 I ran out to this furniture outlet listed … Read more
