I just got back from El Cholo, a Mexican restaurant in Santa Monica having spent the last 4 hours or so there with friends from work. During that time, I consumed four Cadalac Margaritas, which is a record for me. I had a great deal of difficulty leaving the restuarant, in particular, walking in a…
It’s been a long day. First off, I really have to stop trying to stay up for these west coast Yankee games because while I may not feel tired in the morning, I start to drag in the afternoon and now, at nearly 8:30, I am totally wiped out. I stayed late at work today…
I got up and went into work as usual this morning. Just before 9 AM, I figured I’d check on the status of a package I was expected to be delivered later this week. I hadn’t heard anything on it, and when I last checked, it hadn’t even shipped yet. However, when I checked this…
One reason I love reading history is that it confirms a suspicion that I’ve always held: that in day-to-day life, people throughout history have dealt with the same kind of basic problems that we deal with today, often in much the same way and with similar results. One thing I liked about Will Durant’s Story…
I was up and into work by 6:30 AM so that I could get some work done before breakfast. I then met Tammy for breakfast just before 8 AM. It was great to see her. We went to a coffee house and bagel place nearby and spent about an hour chatting and catching up. Tammy…
Another day full of Crystal Reports training classes, which are going very well. We start on the next class tomorrow, and tomorrow, it’s just Rita, Pam, and myself that are in the class. When I got into work (at 6:30 AM) email still was not working for Washington folks, but by the end of the…
Long day today, and another night filled with crazy and intense dreams. I couldn’t remember the dream I had last night until dinner this evening when something Jim said triggered a memory of what the dream was about. Today was the first day of the Crystal Reports training class and I think it went very…
It’s been a long day. I ended up going into the office at 6:30 AM because I just couldn’t sleep anymore. Had breakfast and lunch at the cafe; the lunch in particular was good, some kind of pasta dish. I had about 3 meetings today, the first one starting at 8 AM but none of…
No fever when I woke up this morning, and so far, so good, so I’m back in the office today. I’m still feeling congestetd, but I’ve taken some cold medicine and that’s helping. And I’ve even managed to make good progress on some coding this morning so I think I’m on the mend…
I awoke this morning from a night of troubled dreams, to find myself transformed in my bed into a giant sleepyhead. Fortunately, the sound of rain soon washed away the cobwebs. I headed out to warm up the car (by force of habit) and it felt warm out. It was raining steadily and even the…
