~Sunday~ Since I stayed in last night and was in the bed fairly early, I was up early after eight hours of sleep. It was Sunday morning, so you know what that meant. I really liked this particular PostSecrets entry of this week’s lot, as it reminded me of my friend Steve. I traveled with … Read more
~Thanksgiving Thursday~ Robert arrived at shortly after 8:30 and after turning around on Gorman Street to retrieve a forgotten item—bourbon—we were off to Greenville. Right at the beginning of the trip, on Highway 64, we saw one person stopped by a cop and another car with flashing blue lights behind it in process of being … Read more
~Sunday~ We had a leisurely morning. Casey did some laundry and a little volunteer work for Distributed Proofreading, which is “an organization that provides a web-based method to ease the conversion of Public Domain books into e-books.” I worked on catching up a few days of my blog, with it taking an inordinate amount of … Read more
~Tuesday~ I took Kevin (av8rdude) to the airport this morning to pick up his rental car instead of this afternoon to catch his flight back to Seattle, as his plans changed while he was here, and he’s off to the northeast instead. I worked from home with the exception of running in to the office … Read more
~Saturday~ My mom was one of seven children. Her oldest sister (Rita), and her oldest brother (Raymond) died many years ago; however, she’s lost three of her other four siblings in 2010: February 4, 2010, her baby sister. Annette L. Casmiro Annette, 72, was born on June 26, 1937 and passed away on Thursday, February … Read more
~Sunday~ I woke up at 10:00 and called the front desk to request a late checkout of noon instead of 11:00. No problem. I rode out to Donna and Rob’s for brunch, where the Gregory’s still were, anticipating their 3:00-3:30 departure to the airport for a 4:45 flight. Russ, Pam, and Jan went for a … Read more
~Saturday~ I arrived at Donna’s (my ex-wife’s) at a little after 10:30, and after being let in by—and saying a quick hello to—her partner, Rob, I had three successive crying (on my part) hugs with Donna, her sister Carolyn, and then her brother Ed, saying how sorry I was for their loss. Shortly after, in … Read more
~Wednesday~ I just made it to the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus, such that I crossed the street and walked right on it. At the last minute yesterday, my colleague and peer manager to mine, Sarah, asked me to fill in as the back-up presenter for this morning’s student orientation. I got there a little … Read more
~Wednesday~ Jen was right on time this morning, and we had enough time to stop in the office before walking over to Witherspoon for her 8:45 Information Technology (IT) presentation to the students at New Student Orientation. I actually advanced the slides for her, because the remote they had available didn’t work. I walked back … Read more
~Friday~ At 8:05, I realized that I was supposed to be at the Witherspoon building this morning as the back-up to a colleague who was presenting the IT information to the students at New Student Orientation. Knowing I could neither make it on the university bus line nor on the city bus line, I drove … Read more
