A fan of radio shock jock Howard Stern was overjoyed when he thought he’d spotted his idol on Beverly Hills’ Rodeo Drive, says the National Inquirer. As the tall, shaggy-haired figure in sunglasses emerged from a limo, the star-struck young man rushed up, yelling, “Yo, Howard, I am such a huge fan, man!” before realizing … Read more
I began writing the eulogy today. On Twitter yesterday, @Justis said, “May the best spirit of love be your companion while you write the eulogy for your dear friend. It will be beautiful.” And that spirit must be with me, as it’s coming along easily and beautifully. I worked out from about 3:15 until 4:30 today. … Read more
I tried to sleep in this morning, but didn’t make it past 8:00, which is actually pretty early for me when I’m not working. After breakfast, I devised yesterday’s blog entry and posted it. I’m going to use parts of a two-hour-or-so discussion I had with Jeanie, back in January, in devising her eulogy. To … Read more
I was up at 7:00, had the complimentary breakfast in the hotel lobby, and got on the road by 8:00. Needless to say, I drove the speed limit the whole way back. At about 10:00, I guess, I turned on my cell phone and received this message from 8:14 this morning. John Martin this is … Read more
I woke up early this morning and couldn’t go back to sleep, even though I’d had no where near eight hours sleep. So, I just went with it and had an early start to my day. After working a little while from home, I showered, stopped by the post office, added my 2-cent stamp to … Read more
For the record, I was not stimulated on Friday as promised by these people, according to their schedule toward the end of the page in that link. I’m just saying… We were up at 9:00 this morning, and in honor of Robert’s recent colonoscopy, I bought some All Brand Yogurt Bites, which we had for … Read more
I met Joe at his place at about 11:40, and we drove over to a townhouse that he has his eye on buying. He’s looked at it once before, showed me the specs and a picture online, and asked me to go with him this time as he took a second look. I liked it. … Read more
I volunteered at Equality North Carolina this morning from 10:00 until noon. This was my third 2-hour volunteer stint, each time working on a postcard campaign in anticipation of the School Violence Protection Act coming before the legislature for a vote soon. I’ve participated in the process from beginning to end now: 1) Entering the … 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
I met Kevin (av8rdude) at the gym at 9:45, and I only did lower body resistance work today. I’ll get my cardio in tonight at dancing. This is the second—and I hope, last—day of morning workouts, which really is tough for me. I am so not a morning person. Today’s workout statistics: Exercise Type Minute Duration … Read more
