Today I got “new shoes” for my car at Just Tires in Cary. While I was waiting, a woman came in and I heard her at the counter, “I bought four new tires here back in January, and since then, three of them have gone flat.” She went on to explain that one of them … Read more

In preparation for Tosca on Friday night, I present to myself, and fellow opera-goers, (my little) mind map of what’s to take place. Mary, Kelly, Robert, and I will no doubt carry on the tradition started at The Merry Widow of having the mind map with us, and making a big bad check mark in … Read more
I worked with the OS/400 developer today on verifying the certificate installation steps in the OS/400 Password Synchronization Plug-in book. This guy was very knowledgeable, but one of those super geeks with absolutely no social skills. Bless his heart. I created my mind map for Friday’s performance of Tosca. I’ve placed it in a separate … Read more
I have tickets for Tosca on Friday. This article suggests a promising evening. I need to do a mind map of the synopsis like I did for The Merry Widow: Did I mention the tedious editing I’m doing these days? Today I edited three books. My eyes are still crossed.

I look forward to this annual announcement: Washington Post – yearly contest – alternate meanings Once again, The Washington Post published its yearly contest in which readers are asked to supply alternate meanings for various words. And the winners are . . . 1. Coffee (n.), a person who is coughed upon. 2. Flabbergasted (adj.), … Read more
I worked from home today, editing books. I had a conference call with Randy in RTP and two ISO guys in Toronto. We had a communications mess with the WIM team to straighten out. I left with the TO-DOs. I hate when that happens. From the original, “Liquor!?! I hardly know ‘er!” the list is … Read more
Tying up loose ends from yesterday: I looked at the business card that the owner of Brigs gave me in the bar a week or so ago. It announces him as “Co-Owner / Manager.” His name is Jeff. I like knowing those pictures are in my Palm Pilot. Things that make you go, “Hmmmm!” I … Read more
