Ft. Lauderdale Vacation – Day 1

I got up off the couch at 4:30, and “freshened up.” I microwaved the English muffins I’d brought over, and packed them along with the hard-boiled egg I’d also brought along. We left Joe’s at about 5:20, and with virtually no traffic, we were parking by about 5:35. We were about fourth in line for … Read more

Odds & Ends & TO-DOs…

I dropped my car off at the AAA Autocare Center on Avent Ferry this morning at 7:30, and walked home – not a bad morning walk considering I am so not a morning person. I took the fortunes out of the two fortune cookies we got with our meal on Saturday. They said: “Your good … Read more

My physical and Kurt’s passing…

My day started off with my annual physical. My appointment was for 8:30. I arrived at 8:25. At 9:00, still in the waiting area, I got up to confirm with the receptionist that my appointment was at 8:30. Just as she started responding, the door opened and the nurse called me to the back. She … Read more

Woot’s BOC, and a tax donation…

The traffic this morning on I-40 West from Raleigh to RTP, at 9:00 even, was horrendous — thanks to an accident up by the second airport exit. My 15-minute commute took 45 minutes. Ridiculous. During this excruciating time, I passed one of those huge trucks carrying a large number of pigs. I hate, hate, hate … Read more

Did you cum?

[A private entry not to be discussed publicly. :-)] Today I had a visit with, I’ll call them Greg and Don — a couple who, off and on, have guys over to “play together” with. This was our third meeting. When I arrived, they were both in the kitchen, Greg clothed, Don totally naked — … Read more

Customer disservice…

I got up at about 10:00, put on a pot of coffee, and ran to Bruegger’s, where I purchased a pumpernickel bagel with plain light cream cheese for me, and a sesame seed one with plain cream cheese for Robert. On the way, I returned Joe’s call from earlier, during which he told me that … Read more

Cars, dancing, and pooling…

I had big plans for work on my car today, but they didn’t all pan out. I needed to check out my “Check Engine” light, to have my brakes looked at, and to talk to Just Tires about incorrectly documenting my mileage when I purchased my tires, which is important with regards to my 80,000-mile … Read more

Heights…

I had a productive meeting with Brian M. on the ISM Adapter Development Model, and I met Norma W. for lunch, which was really, really nice. She’s such a pleasure. I attended Michelle’s 3-hour “Topic Writing” training, which was most excellent. I had a quick dinner at Joe & Jo’s in Durham. I had their … Read more
