Reservations have been made and the date has been set: April 8, 2006 8:30 PM at the Rainbow Room Grill on the 65th floor of Rockefeller Center. I almost always celebrate my birthday pretty low key, but recently, I got the idea to live a little this year. So I invited some good friends who…
I’ve tossed and turned since waking up at 1:30 AM, nearly 3 hours ago and have finally decided to give up trying to sleep. It doesn’t happen very often, but I know when I’m beat. I’ve decided instead to read for the next two hours until I have to get ready for work.
I woke up from a bad dream about 45 minutes ago, laughed it off, got some juice to drink, and now I can’t seem to get back to sleep. I’ve got to get up in 3-1/2 hours. Go figure.

I just heard the sad news that Don Knotts died today at the age of 81.
Most of the chores I set out to do today are done. The house is cleaned. I finally managed to get a decent haircut. I even went out and bought a new floor rug for the living room, which is something I’d been meaning to do for a while now. Now I get to spent…
Lots to do today. It’s time again to clean the house up. I need to vacuum, clean the bathroom, dust, mop floors, etc. There is also laundry to do and trash to take out. And, of course, I need to get my hair cut. Once that stuff is done, can relax a bit, and read…
