I got up at 8:00, had my final breakfast on the deck, and then SSSed before checking out of the Aerie House at 9:00. I wheeled my bag down to MacMillan Wharf, and was in line for the 10:00 ferry at 9:15. Shortly after that, the woman working there walked up and down the line … Read more
I was up at 7, and after a SSS, had a bowl of Honey Smacks and two slices of Portuguese sweet bread toast for breakfast. Aunt Annette fixed me two ham and cheese sandwiches and gave me a snack package of Fig Newtons and two Lorna Doone Shortbread Cookies “to go.” She drove me back … Read more
Who schedules an 8:00 meeting on a Monday morning? Unfortunately I didn’t look at my work calendar all weekend to remind myself of said meeting, so when I logged in at 9:00, my usual start time, the meeting was pretty much finishing up. Oh well. I’ve talked here before about what a crap shoot buying … Read more
I worked from home this morning, and from Helios this afternoon. I completed Shruti’s edit on schedule today. I met Kevin (av8rdude) at the Bank of America (Kevin’s bank) at Cameron Village today to be a witness in the notarizing of a Power of Attorney of his. He needed to run by the post office … Read more
David Rakoff, who is just absolutely hysterical in my book, said the greatest thing on NPR’s Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me the other day. With the recent California decision about gay marriage, he was talking about this inane notion that letting gay people get married will denigrate the institution of marriage, by saying: “It’s like … Read more
I started my morning off with a most delightful two-hour walk with @Justis. We hadn’t intended it to be two hours—at least I didn’t, but by the time we walked over to Lake Dam Road, and then around Lake Johnson, and then back down Kaplan, that’s how long it added up to. Obviously the conversation … Read more
It must be true… I read it in the tabloids A Croatian woman who went missing 42 years ago has been found dead, sitting in front of the television in her own apartment. Neighbors of Hedviga Golik reported her missing in 1966, but it was only this week that police finally broke down the door … Read more
I was up quite early this morning—at 7:00. I heard that woodpecker making quite the racket in the back of my townhouse, but when I went to the guest room windows back there, it had stopped and didn’t do it again within the few minutes I stayed there. After getting downstairs, and putting on coffee, … Read more
Today’s workout was cardio-only and I wore a sweatband on my head, the likes of which I haven’t seen since the 1970s. Ask me if I care. It was totally effective. We did only 45-minute routines today, so that we’d have time to make a stop at Bruegger’s on the way home, and before Kevin’s … Read more
I volunteered for ENC today, for two hours, in their new office on Hargett Street. I enjoyed this work much more than making phone calls, which is what I did the last couple of times I volunteered for them. Today, I entered names, telephone numbers, addresses, and e-mail addresses into their database for them. Shawn, … Read more
