I was up early, at about 6:00 after eight hours sleep—since we got to bed fairly early. Robert left around 11:00, and around noon, my friend Kevin (zy1125, @zy1125) called to say that he and Danny (his three-year-old son) were having “boys day out,” and wanted to know if I wanted to meet him somewhere for … Read more
I worked from home today, since I had no meetings and needed to run to my eye doctor’s during lunchtime to get my partially-rimless glasses fixed. I had them hanging from the collar of my shirt on Saturday, and when @justis hugged me at Helios, a wire snapped that holds the lenses in and the right … Read more
We got up at about 9:30, and after a breakfast of turkey sausage with slices of hard-boiled egg on a Portuguese muffins and some coffee for breakfast, we watched three more episodes of Six Feet Under to close out the third season, and to finally get some closure on the “missing Lisa” story line. Finally. … Read more
My knee was in incredible pain all day today. It was the kind of pain where I kept thinking, “You really should get this thing x-rayed. What if walking on it is the worse thing you could be doing? But, I know all they’re going to do is tell me to RICE it.” At work … Read more
We were up at a decent hour this morning to fit in breakfast before our noon movie out at the Carolina Theater in Durham. We had one of our favorite breakfasts—the French Toast at the Farmers’ Market Restaurant. Good stuff. Our final NCGLFF film was at 12:10 and called, Ready? OK! We have been unable … Read more
I was up at 8:00, getting a good eight hours of sleep, while having some very desirable dreams. I’ll just leave it at that. Last night, before falling asleep, I read Kevin’s (av8rdude‘s) Wall Street Journal and was delighted to see, in their “Five Best” column in their “Books” section, “Five Best: Andrew Klavan on … Read more
Got here at 9:30 to find a Panera Bread-catered breakfast. I must say the food choices for the weekend have been absolutely stellar, and I understand thanks for that are due to @Chris_Rader. My first task today was from Jeff, our Director of Marketing (a.k.a. Director of Fry Marketing), and it was to gather a … Read more
Since we were so exhausted last night and got to bed early, we were up and at ’em at 9:00. We decided to “beat the church crowd” and get to the Farmers’ Market Restaurant right away. We each had a (complimentary) biscuit appetizer, a cup of coffee, and then each their unbeatable French Toast, both … 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
We were up at a little after 8:00 this morning. I had coffee, 2 yolkless hard-boiled eggs, and a turkey sausage patty along with my coffee. I worked out from about 11:15-12:15 today, 60 minutes of cardio, while listening to my Retro Remix CD on my iPod. Oh yeah, I started off with 5 sets … Read more
