I have begun to think about my gift to myself for my 50th birthday, coming up in just a little over two years. A Trip Around The World. There’s a cool website to help plan such an endeavor, and I took a first pass at it. I’m interested in a couple of things from the … Read more
We slept in again this morning, and had bagels for breakfast — one half with butter, the other half with cream cheese and grape jelly. Yum. We walked the three-mile path around Lake Johnson from about 12:45-1:45. It was a nice walk, but hotter than we anticipated. We had leftovers from last night’s dinner for … Read more
We got up around 10:00, I think. I made Robert a cheese omelet, and I had some scrambled eggs. We did a rather challenging crossword puzzle from The Independent, and then took a 2-3 hour nap! Robert had a late lunch at Subway, and then we stopped by K-Mart to return a picture frame, and … Read more

I edited two books today, and attended a meeting on a groups QMS migration to QMX. On Monday, I have got to remember to do an action item that came out of that conference call. I meet E-Ching and Ameila for lunch in the B500 cafeteria. We had a lot of laughs. They ate sushi, … Read more
I did peer edits on the Remedy, Informix, and Oracle ERP guides today. We’re coming down the home stretch on these guides now. Yippee. Casey arrived at my house just after 7, and we headed to the Barnes & Noble at Crabtree, where he bought three books. It was a point and click operation, which … Read more
With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person, which almost went unnoticed back in 1996. Larry LaPrise, the man who wrote The Hokey Pokey, died peacefully at the age of 83. The most traumatic part for his … Read more
I met with Jason Childs and Randy Snyder for a turnover meeting — not the apple or blueberry kind, but the QMX Support kind. Jason is turning over his responsibilities in that area to me. Randy is the IBM corporate support liaison for QMX. I completed as much of the Password Synchronization for OS/400 Plug-in … Read more
Joe woke up at about 8:30, and I would up at about 9:20, 20 minutes before the alarm was set to go off at 9:40. Checkout time was 11AM. Joe ran to Port City Java while I stole a few more winks. We had coffee and bagels when he got back. We checked out at … Read more
Joe arrived shortly after 9:00, and we left for Wilmington by about 9:30. I was a little more prepared for this trip than I was for our day trip last Sunday. I had my beach chair, blanket, and cooler packed this time. We stopped for an early lunch at a Subway off an exit. The … Read more
