What are people thinking? From a sentiment posted to an obituary today: I’m so sorry to hear of you’r loss. Huh? Whose loss would that be exactly? What missing letter(s) is the apostrophe representing? I got a good night’s sleep, though I did wake up once or twice absolutely soaked and stuck to my sheets … Read more
Once again, I was up before my alarm went off, which was set for 9:00. The big breakfast-time buzz this morning was the cruise ship, which we could see docked in the bay from our deck, while enjoying the B&B’s complimentary breakfast. This ship was from Rosie O’Donnell’s line r family VACATIONS. As you can see … Read more
I had my alarm set for 9:00, but woke up, and got up, at 8:30. Breakfast is served out on the deck here from 8:00-10:30. I grabbed my laptop, and went out there to enjoy it. There were two other people out there, a guy at each of two different tables. I took the other. … Read more
I love this place. 45 Breezy Lake Drive, Coventry, RI I say this every time I come up here. Because it’s true. A long, glorious sleep made its way to me, and I welcomed it with open arms and closed eyes, for ten restful hours. Awakening, I looked out my bedroom window to the view … Read more
I actually got up at about 10 minutes until 4:00. I had ridiculous dreams all during the few hours that I slept, a lot of them involving being on Twitter. As I said, ridiculous. When I went downstairs to put the dryer on “fluff” for ten minutes, I saw my message light blinking on my … Read more
Well one out of two ain’t bad—I was bushy-tailed this morning (can’t help it, really), but I wasn’t bright-eyed. Nonetheless, I did get to the gym at just after 7:00, and it was a cardio-only day for me. In anticipation of Robert’s arrival this afternoon from NYC and having seen Wicked, while I worked out, … 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 was up early this morning, logged into work by 7AM. In my inbox, was an e-mail from my manager’s manager’s manager with the subject line: Sad News. And within the body of the short e-mail, this line: “[Employee’s name] fell ill suddenly yesterday, was transported to the hospital, but unfortunately did not survive.” That … 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
Kevin (av8rdude) and I met at the gym at 7:30 today, as he left the country for three weeks this afternoon and needed to get his workout in early. The only thing worse to me than working out that early in the morning, is working out that early in the morning when it’s not “Free … Read more
