There are two possible cruises: 7 Nights Greek Islands and Turkey 7 Nights Mediterranean (Barcelona, France, Italy) Now, I prefer the latter, but just…

    I’ve been threatening to get new sunglasses for the last month or two, and today, at lunchtime, I went downstairs to the mall and bought a new pair of black Oakley Whiskers to replace the ones I got nearly 2 years ago. The new Oakleys are lighter and they are also polarized. It’s bright and…

  • Coopertown Roadtrip: Day 3

    12 Jun 2006 » 2 min read

    Well, Doug and I woke up from our slumber and both felt perfectly fine. No headaches. Doug felt a little finer than I did, I think, but we managed to pack up our things, take them to the car, and then head out to look at the various shops. We stopped into a small place…

    Doug and I agreed to be up at 7:30 this morning so that we could go and pick up the rental car around 8 AM. As it turned out, we got a little bit later of a start. Doug’s alarm didn’t go off as expected but it only delayed us a few minutes. I called…

  • Another time waster

    08 Jun 2006 » 1 min read

    After getting my hair cut, I ran over to Target to get Season 5 of Seinfeld and while I was there, I purchased a Sudoku book. I won’t say I’m addicted, although I was introduced to it two weeks ago while Tawnya was here. But it does help to pass the time, and it’s far…

  • Awkward!

    08 Jun 2006 » 1 min read

    There was an awkward, uncomfortable moment a few minutes ago when, at almost the same instant, a UPS truck stopped at my next door neighbor’s house, while right across the street, a FedEx truck pulled in front of the house opposite my neighbor.
