Month: August 2006

I got up at 5:30, and was at Joe’s by 6:30. The drizzle on the way was not making me happy. We drove separately to Historic Downtown Hillsborough via I-40 West without incident, and were directed to a church parking lot. After removing our bikes, reassembling our front tires, and donning our bonnets helmets and … Read more

At 11:00, I stopped by the Delta office to fill out some personnel forms for part-time work at NCSU. I am going to do some usability testing of a new web site they are developing. It’s about 60 hours of work, over about a two-week period, and the pay is $15.00 an hour. I’ll take … Read more

Tonight we saw Margaret Cho in person at the Carolina Theater as part of the 11th Annual NC Gay & Lesbian Film Festival. OMFG. That’s all I can say. OMFG. She was so hysterical. I love her. And we had the best seats. Second row. Center. Thanks, Robert, for getting those! I was a little … Read more

I met with my financial advisor today, and we talked about the possibility of me continuing to work two days a week for the rest of my life — or living on my current salary for the rest of my life. He said, “As long as you continue to take 4% or less a year … Read more

I took Kevin (av8rdude) to the Raleigh Endo Center for his procedure, which brought back memories of my procedure including pictures of my colon. It also brought back memories of the dreadful prep day, the day before. I dropped him off at 9:15, and they gave me an estimated “pick up” time of between 2:00 … Read more

I have spent a lot of time in the past couple of days going back and forth from being myself and watching myself. I am assessing how I am reacting to this entire major family drama going on with my parents, my brother, and my ex-sister-in-law. I am trying to walk the fine line between … Read more

I met Steve Nelson at Helios today to be a “technical reference” as he booted up his new wireless-enabled laptop to connect to a wireless network for the first time. We ended up getting help from “Percy,” who sat at a table next to ours, and heard us struggling with being able to turn on … Read more

Joe and I rode the 22.5 Modified Modified Lake Jordan route today. This ride for me, though way longer, was much easier than that ride we did last weekend. Joe had a much rougher time, as he had to use his mountain bike instead of his road bike. I commented on how not knowing anything … Read more

On July 19, 2006, I drove over to the Method Post Office, which is near, but not on, Method Road. I approached the “T” intersection of Method and Beryl, and came to a complete stop behind the SUV in front of me, which stopped at the stop sign. Beryl is not a busy road, and … Read more
