India Mahal…

I had lunch with Richard and Jay today at Piper’s, and I had my long-longed for Pimento Cheese Sandwich, which was everything I dreamed it would be. Jay and I got in a good belly laugh, which seems to happen at least once every time we get together. This one was regarding that Internet clip … Read more

Teaching Aussies…

I officially worked from noon to 9PM today, but actually logged into work from home at about 10:00, and was on and off all day. Liz changed the call-in number for my class to the IBM Australians this evening, so I decided to go into work to teach the class from there rather than making … Read more

Taking stock…

I had the filling from hell today. I got so many shots of novocaine, and still could feel the work almost to the end. I love my dentist, however. She is so compassionate. After the last two novo blasts, she said, “Probably in about an hour the whole side of your face will be blown … Read more

And then there were four…

Uneventful work day. I stopped to vote on the way home. It’s scary how little I know about our democratic process. When I said something at lunch about “just pulling the democrat lever,” she said something like, “You don’t have to worry about that today; it’s the primary.” While in the voting booth, I got … Read more

The paper chase…

My Monday meeting went very well today. Afterwards, Cassandra sent me a ST that said, “That’s the most productive meeting I’ve attended in a long time.” Yippee. We really did have a good exchange, and caught one thing (at least) that would have slipped through the cracks if we weren’t sharing across the pillar via … Read more

The Boys in the Band…

We got up at about 9:30 and MMMMMMMM, and it was an MMMMMMMMMMmer. Whew. We had “sausage biscuits” with cheddarbrats on rolls. Yummy. Robert brought his television and VCR in and we watched Boys in the Band. What an amazingly gay movie. I totally enjoyed it. “The Boys in the Band is not a musical” … Read more

Busy day…

We got up at around 9:30 or 10, and just had coffee. We left the house just before 11, and headed out to Allen & Son Pit Cooked Bar-B-Q in Chapel Hill, where we got two BBQ sandwiches and three orders of fries to go. We went to Robert’s mom’s house and had our lunch … Read more

Same old, same old…

Today is Donna’s birthday. I wished her so online. Robert came over after work, and we grilled out — cheddarwursts, and had potato salad, and fresh corn on the cob, which I cut off the cob before eating. Yum. We napped early evening and went out to CCs at about 11:30. It was kind of … Read more

I stopped by Fred’s Beds on the way home and put a full size bed “on hold.” It has a black headboard and footboard, and the frame will be … Read more

Will update and dancing…

I worked from home today, and had three conference calls. One with Cassandra in Austin, our weekly “catch-up” Security TIGR meeting. The second one was the Virtual Project Managers / Release Managers Meeting, which I pretty much ended up facilitating as Mary was late onto the call. It went well. My third call was with … Read more
