At 8AM I tried to reach Dr. Chander’s office, and reached their answering service. The attendant told me that someone would be there to talk to me about appointments at 9. I called back at 9, and discussed my appointment today, of which I’d been totally unaware of until late last night. It seems I … Read more
I had a fairly productive first day back to work today. I stopped at Sam’s on the way home, and charged my groceries on my new Discover Card. I unloaded my groceries at home, and went over to Just Tires to have my tires rotated. I devised Saturday’s, Sunday’s and this blog entry while waiting. … Read more

We were up and checked out by 11. We were going to catch a cab to Newark, but the guy at the front desk recommended we get a car, though we should have reserved it yesterday. He called a service for us to see if they could come on short notice. They were, and arrived … Read more
We settled into our, by now, morning routine of coffee, breakfast, and an Internet check on the garden patio. I actually passed on a bagel this morning, instead choosing some type of whole grain sliced bread. Our first stop today was Central Park, of which we walked just enough to “get a flavor.” We took … Read more

We started our day with breakfast on the patio garden, where Charlie, the resident feline, breezed by my leg. This is what he looks like: I enjoyed my bagel and coffee, while catching up with the morning news online, checking in on AIM, and checking my e-mail. Just after noon, we took the subway up … Read more
I threw the sheets in the laundry, while I packed this morning. Robert arrived at about 9:30, and we made the bed with the nice clean sheets. Steve arrived just after 10:15, and we left for the airport. Checking in, getting through security, and our flight to Newark were all uneventful. There was no man … Read more
Steve called me this morning to tell me about an incident with Sue’s father, who’s in his 80s I believe he said. He (Sue’s father) was driving along the Outer Banks area of N.C., up toward the Virginia area, when a car with “JUST MARRIED” markings all over it pulls up beside him on the … Read more
