Pre-birthday day…

I had breakfast at 10AM today with Donna at Gregory’s. I had a delicious omelet, preceded by two delicious cinnamon buns. We got caught up — always a pleasure. She had her Palm Pilot cradle to give me. Yippee! We spent about an hour and a half together. I left there and stopped by Lowe’s … Read more

NCOD 2002…

We held our second annual National Coming Out Day Roundtable today, which was attended by nine people. This turned out to be a very informative meeting for some, and a very rewarding meeting for others. Interestingly enough, we had five “experienced” employees (ten-plus years with IBM), and four “newbies” (less than five years; with one … Read more

Board meeting…

We had our October TCW Board meeting tonight. The situation with SeminarWorks came to a head. Patsy submitted her resignation, effective around January of 2003. Michelle was her usual generous, loving, and affirming self. Wayne brought cookies and tortilla chips. Jay brought Reeses pieces filled M&Ms. I went home and did two loads of laundry.

Shopping… yucko!

After putting on my standard t-shirt and jeans shorts this morning, I remembered that it was “Panel Day” to the HR Partners. I changed into something less comfortable. I received another Thanks! award today, this time from Michelle. How cool. I went from never having any before this year to now having received the maximum … Read more

The sands of time…

We got up around 10:00, and ate our leftovers from K-38 for breakfast. Yum! As we were getting dressed and packed, “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil” came on, and we got a little caught up in The Lady Chablis’ performance. We checked out around noon, and sat out by the pool on … Read more

It’s just beachy!

We left for the beach at around 10:00AM. We had a nice ride listening to CDs as the antenna in my car is not working! Grrrr! We got an early check-in at the Holiday Inn SunSpree Resort. We had a beautiful ocean-front room. This was Robert’s birthday gift to me. VERY nice! We just had … Read more
