I was up at 9:00 this morning, and downstairs to brewing coffee by 9:09. Kevin (av8rdude) came down shortly after that and we each had a bagel from the six I bought yesterday while we were at Bruegger’s. He had crunchy peanut butter on his. I had butter on half of mine, and lite plain … Read more
Gadgets. My alarm went off at 8:30. I meandered downstairs to the coffee pot, which had also triggered an event at 8:30. The coffee was still brewing. I wanted more aroma. I rubbed the click wheel of another, somewhat-temperamental-these-days, gadget, saying, “You gonna play for me this morning, baby?” Turned out it was a wheel of fortune … Read more
Good week for… Bad week for… Getting some relief, after a Nevada brothel offered an incentive of a $50 gas voucher to all clients who pruchased $300 worth of services. The vouchers sold out in a week. A sense of privilege, after a first-class passenger on a Delta Airlines flight from New York became so … Read more
Good week for… Bad week for… Getting a ticket, after an Illinois man was stopped by police and fined $25 for failing to wear a seat belt. Half an hour later, Tim Ignasiak’s jeep was hit by a car that ran a red light; his seat belt saved him from serious injury. “I’m happily paying … Read more
I had pretty much a sleepless night last night. I never broke out into one of those ridiculous sweats at least, probably because I didn’t take aspirin before I went to bed. The first thing I did was to take my temperature. My forehead didn’t feel that hot, and the reading confirmed progress: 100.2°. I … Read more
I met my friend Myra for lunch today at Rockford. Myra is such good people. I love that she’s in my life. I had their Pimento Cheese sandwich, and Myra had their Roast Beef sandwich. When our waitperson enumerated the sides, I got “potato salad,” “black-eyed peas,” but didn’t quite get what the third option … Read more

Oh. my. god. We had the greatest day today—such incredible, incredible fun running all around Raleigh (sometimes literally), with a great group of folks, learning tons about the city, and trying establishments (including a lot of bars!) that I would never have otherwise ever ventured into. We had a team participating in Raleigh Typhoon 2, … Read more
As my coffee was brewing this morning, I looked over at my iPod that’s been sitting on a TV tray charging for about three days, ever since I saw that the “call support” error in the display had changed to a “low battery” message. On a whim, I unplugged it, and turned it on. It … Read more
I met with Nathan, my financial advisor, from 11:00–12:00, spending most of that time discussing options on how to proceed with financial advice to my aunt and uncle when I visit them next month. In addition to talking about the option of investing in the exchange traded fund, GLD, that I’m in, Nathan also showed … Read more
