I hate an annual event that doesn’t fall on the same day each year. When I was married, I always sent my wife flowers on the first day of Spring, and still remember the day for her even though it’s been over 10 years since we went our separate ways. Unpredictably, this event falls on … Read more
Our group met at the library at 2:00 as planned. Well, me Amelia and Will were there. Angel was late, which surprised none of us. We went through some drama of creating a big sign saying where we were and stuck it on the gates you have to go through to enter the library, where … Read more
I worked on my ENG 519 Information Plan (due Tuesday) for most of the day, intermittently stopping to work on our ENG 508 group project (due Monday) as notes and updates arrived from the group. Toward the end of the day, we agreed that we need to meet tomorrow to lay out all of the … Read more
I was stressed out to not be able to weigh myself while in Tahoe. I even asked the front desk person if there was a scale in the house. I did not bring Nutri-food with me. I am having a little bit of a hard time “getting back into it.” I have delayed my “next … Read more
Today makes three years since I walked out on my TV. When I broke up with my partner, we had a 35-inch TV that we had purchased while together, and since I really paid for it, I said on my way out, “I reserve the right to come back and get this TV in the … Read more
Class was a little lame tonight. The professor left his notes for tonight’s class at home, so he skipped ahead to the class he was going to teach two weeks form now. We listed (ad nauseum) web site “affordances” on the blackboard. Then we listed constraints. This was hilarious: when he started the list, Dr. … Read more
It was a drag getting back to work. I got through the essential emails, and that’s about it. I attended the TIGR call, which was hardly interesting, as we went over the 2005 audit schedule. Book club was okay. Janet didn’t show up after giving me the impression she would earlier in the morning. We … Read more
My flight left at just after midnight as planned, and I slept for most of the flight to Dallas Fort-Worth. It was restless sleep, but enough of it so that the time just flew by. We landed at 3:00AM and I moved my watch forward an hour. I thought, “I can’t believe we’ve arrived an … Read more
What a tangled web we weave… I reached into my laptop bag to pull out the special electric cord that plugs in under the seat of the plane, so as not to use my laptop battery while traveling. Out comes a long spaghetti mess of cords, which include: cord to headphones (over the head one-piece … Read more
I had a wake-up call scheduled for 9:30 this morning, but woke up at 7, couldn’t fall back asleep, so got up at 7:30. I put on a pot of coffee, made a bagel, and enjoyed it along with the last hard-boiled egg. I wrote yesterday’s blog entry, and then posted it. The dial-up connection … Read more
