Today was going to be my last day at the office, with my official quit date being tomorrow. However, when it was all said and done, I didn’t get done what I wanted done, so I talked to Woody about “checking out” tomorrow at about 1:30. Robert and I saw The Island, staged by The … Read more

I was up at 9:00 this morning, and for breakfast had a whole wheat bagel with one half of it ladened with butter and the other half with cream cheese and jelly, along with some most excellently ripe cantaloupe and some RainForest-flavored coffee.

My phone rang at 7:37 this morning. US Airways, ready to deliver my luggage. Yay. I think. It’s awfully early. With the call that he was on his way, I was reminded of the woman at baggage claim last night who filled out the claim for my bag. Two things that I thought were odd: (1) … Read more
