Okay, this should make my mother smile — another food-related comment. So, this morning, I stop in the cafeteria on the ground floor where I work, and I make a rare purchase of a morning omelet. I often buy bagels here, but rarely anything else — in terms of breakfast food. The guy who’s working … Read more
Today was the first day of spring, and I sent an e-card to Donna to wish her the day as I did throughout our 16-year marriage. It’s her favorite season of the year. Later in the day, I got an instant message from her thanking me and saying that it means a great deal that … Read more
I woke up at about 9:30, and at around 10:00 called Joe-Joe to inquire about a breakfast rendezvous this morning. He agreed, I picked him up at his house at about 10:45, and we had breakfast and surfed the web at Panera’s in Cary until 1:45! There were lots of “daddies” with their families traipsing … Read more
I finished another tedious reading assignment today for Monday’s class. It was called, “Making Learning Fun: Quest Atlantis, A Game Without Guns.” If I were a teacher, I would be interested in being involved with this software and project. Early in the day I thought, “If my throat isn’t feeling better by tomorrow, I’m going … Read more
Four years ago today, I walked out on my television, as I moved to a new house and left it behind. I went to Target today, and bought two pillowcases to match my 400-thread count set of sheets, and a funnel. I dropped off a roll of film to be developed, as well. I also … Read more
I had a satisfying work day today. Rare. I had a nice instant message conversation with Donna. I tried to figure out the difference between two cubes with the formula a**3 – b**3 = (a – b) (a**2 + ab + b**2) By mid-afternoon, I was feeling very lethargic and achy. I checked in with … Read more
I had my advising session for the summer and fall semesters with Dr. Dicks today at 4:00. I got there a little early and spent some enjoyable time with E-Ching and Will. I ended up signing up for these courses: Summer COM 441 Ethical Issues in Communication Fall COM 561 Human Communication Theory ENG 675 … Read more
The Mostly Social Book Club met today sans Mary. Today’s highlights: Suzanne announced a life milestone: Her father has made an appointment to talk to a therapist about their relationship. Sharon shared a little bit about a “60 Minutes” show that she saw about twins and homosexuality. I shared a little bit about the “telepathy” … Read more
I had a dentist appointment today. Both the hygienist and the dentist made small talk with me about ACC and NCCA basketball. Make that: made small talk at me. You would think that with my one word grunts and nods for answers for more than two minutes, they’d think, “Hey this guy isn’t into college … Read more
We got up at a little after 10, and easily made the noon check-out, which was uneventful. As I’m writing this, I’m remembering that Michael told us to stop by to say good-bye before we left, but we didn’t. Sorry about that. Rick was gracious enough to drive most of the way back, while I … Read more
