I went to the Prime Outlets mall near the airport this afternoon. That place continues to be lame. The height of the holiday season, and there were about 25 people in there. I don’t know how that place stays in business. There is nothing outlet about the prices in that place, and there are so … Read more
I picked Joe up at Southern States, where he left his new truck for detailing. We went to Crabtree, starting off with a cup of coffee at the Starbucks in the Barnes & Noble there. I went to the post office, and Joe went to the mall. There were only 4 people ahead of me … Read more
We had sausage “biscuits” for breakfast. Yum. We had the rest of the ham salad for lunch. Robert pointed out Elizabeth Rose Campbell’s obituary in the N&O. Weird, knowing someone who was just alive and breathing, and you were talking to about two weeks ago, is no longer here. ELIZABETH ROSE CAMPBELL, 52, known to … Read more
I spent the morning of my first day of vacation sleeping. I woke up around 11:00. Joe called me a little after noon on his way to deal with his new truck conflama. He told me that he’d just had coffee with Dale, and had mentioned to him that he needed to call me to … Read more

I had to park in the funeral home’s parking lot next door. Evidently there were a couple of company holiday parties going on there, one of which … Read more

No second line managers showed up for my final Process War Room Meeting of the year. Three of us connected, waited 10 minutes, then hung up. I sent email to BT and Helen giving them status. It’s good to be done with it for the rest of the year. I ran to Canopy and gave … Read more
I finished up the last of my holiday letters this morning, and addressed cards to the people not on the picture or letter list. I wrapped Robert’s birthday gift. At about 2:00, I ran to the Factory Card Outlet store, and bought cards for Kurt (get well soon), Cathy and Dana (anniversary), a couple of … Read more
