I was up quite early this morning—at 7:00. I heard that woodpecker making quite the racket in the back of my townhouse, but when I went to the guest room windows back there, it had stopped and didn’t do it again within the few minutes I stayed there. After getting downstairs, and putting on coffee, … Read more

Various topics, among others, covered today: Last night’s TweetUp, which we both attended Potential social software applications Meeting Madeleine tomorrow to talk about The Story Today’s plans Buying an iPhone Haircuts I still have eulogies on my mind.

I woke up to my land line ringing. It was Joe calling saying, “I can’t stand up.” I spent all morning with him in the emergency room at Rex, and then until about 2:00, getting his meds at the Walgreens near his new house, and having lunch at Jersey Mike’s while we waited for the … Read more
I arrived at First Baptist Church (FBC) in Garner at just before noon. Though the visitation ran from noon until 2:00, pretty much no one other than family showed up before 1:15. I checked out the number of flower arrangements on either side of Jeane’s open casket, but pretty much stayed away from it in … 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 worked the morning, and then headed out of town for Charleston at close to noon. I took the I-40E to I-95S to I-26E route, and made decent time, as one will when averaging the speeds I averaged. I’m visiting two friends of mine, who are here from London—Michael and his partner, Nick. I know … 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
