My bug man woke me up at about 7 minutes after 8AM. Seems like whenever I want them on the front-end of the time range they estimate to arrive, they come on the back-end; and like today, when I would have preferred them on the back-end of the 8-11 estimate, they show up on the … Read more
You may recall the close-up picture of a snowflake, which didn’t look anything like a snowflake, in one of my recent blog entries. Well this is a close-up picture of a seahorse that is actually discernible as a seahorse.
Two cases in point: We went to Finch’s for breakfast, and our waitress brought my two extra pieces of toast to me, saying, “Here you go, baby; she didn’t know you had an extra order,” referring to the other waitress who had brought out our food in her stead. “Thanks,” I said, and then, “By … Read more
I worked (at IBM) from home today. I edited Qiana’s document, but didn’t finish it. I’ll have to finish it this weekend, and have it ready for her on Monday morning. I napped for a couple of hours. I went to Flex for Show Tunes Night and some free pool, which I played with Chris … Read more

We got up and at ’em at around 10:30 or 11 today. Joe ran to the deli around the corner and got us coffee and a bagel to split, just to jump-start us, as we’d planned to have breakfast when we got to South Street Seaport. The best laid plans… As soon as we got … Read more

After grabbing breakfast at what’s become our favorite deli, just around the corner, we took the train down to South Street Seaport, which is where the “lower Manhattan” TKTS booth … Read more
After grabbing a quick breakfast at the deli around the corner from our hotel, we took the train up to 59th, where we exited up to the street at the entrance to Central Park. Here’s Joe there: There was a lot of hustle and bustle in the park. At the beginning of our walk, an … Read more
