Knock, knock…

I dropped Courtney off at the airport this morning. She’s flying Southwest to DC. Stopped by Sam’s on the way home from work and bought three more albums. Finished putting the rest of the three sets of P-Town pics in them. Took them to Will’s. Will’s party was fun! In attendance: Art D., Steve M., … Read more

It’s a wrap…

I left work at 7:40 today in a rush to make it to Sam’s to pick up my pictures from P-town. I also bought 3 mini-albums to put the copies for Steve, Joe, and Will in. I spent about 2.5 hours organizing the pictures. They look great! I need to stop by Sam’s tomorrow after … Read more

Best/Worst Dates

I follow a discussion forum, where a recent topic was best/worse dates. I wanted to clip mine here to have it for posterity: Best date with a woman: My wife and I had a mutual friend who was a pilot wanting to add to his hours. I talked to him and arranged a flight in … Read more

Back to work young man…

Back to the grind. Listened to my cell phone messages this morning before leaving the house and Courtney was stranded. I picked her up. The only thing getting me through the day is knowing I’ll see Robert tonight. Courtney and I walked for 25 minutes today after work. We’ve both joined “Fit for Fall” at … Read more

Ride ’em Cowboys!

I left Jeane’s at about noon, and went up to the Montgomery County Fairgrounds for a day of the rodeo. I watched two events, the Dolly Madison event, and one that I don’t know the name of, but the guys rode in on a horse pretty fast, plucked a flag out of a bucket, rode … Read more

The Harvest Moon Ball

Had a good day with Jeane-baby. While she had her hair and nails done at Lord & Taylor, I shopped at Filene’s Basement and TJ Maxx. Got me a nice dress shirt for $9.97, and another one for $12.97. Also got me a beautiful Bill Blass sweater marked down from $42.00 to $16.00 on the … Read more

The Stampede Jamboree

My flight to DC arrived at BWI at 6:30. By 7:00, I was on the MARC train into Union Station on the red line. Then, up to the Friendship Heights stop. Phyl was waiting in the street with one of the babies (poodles), and Jeane was up indoors waiting for me. Jimmy was asleep on … Read more

Raleigh man takes flight…

I’ve got to pack. I leave for DC tomorrow directly from work. James came over today and assessed my “honey-do” needs: 1) add a deck to the back of my townhouse 2) wallpaper the upstairs hall bathroom 3) paint the guest bedroom and repair wall & ceiling 4) adjust washer/dryer and pantry doors 5) install … Read more

Local boy dances his heart out…

I caved today on two accounts: 1) I took a visitor’s parking spot at work with my parents’ car, and 2) I just finished a bowl of Butter Pecan ice cream. Yum. Yum. Work was a drag today — I met with Mathis, which is rarely a positive experience. Today was no different. I had … Read more

Work is in the headline tonight…

I’m just getting home from work. Didn’t get the input I needed from the developer until nearly 9:30. Got my part done now at least. Rest in order… I am resisting having a bowl of Butter Pecan ice cream because I had a bag of chips at work that was labeled “Grab Size,” which means … Read more
