I headed home at 4 PM as usual and started In Memory Yet Green on the train, which is a pleasure as always. I love starting the these two volumes of Asimov’s autobiography because they total some 1500 pages and 650,000 words and I enjoy them immensely. I am always wistfully sad when I finish.…
Several of my chores and errands are complete. It turns out that I am going out later than I expected so that gives me more time to kill. I can probably get through a few more stories in SF AGE. Or finish the final draft of “4005 B.C.” When the mail came this afternoon, I…
I think I’ll be going into work tomorrow. I participated in two meetings from home today and my alarm is set for 4:30 AM. It will also be the first time since Tuesday that I will get to the gym. I got a call from Trevor tonight. I hadn’t talked to him in a while…
Yesterday was a good mail day, with two gems left in the pan after sifting out all of the junk. First, I had a holiday card from Twila, with a picture of her almost 3 year old daughter. Next, I had 2 letters and a card from Trevor and thepopeswife. Trevor wrote one of the…
I just finished watching Heroes and Studio 60 and now I’m packing my lunch and I’m off to bed. Studio 60 has gotten better in the last several episodes, its started to acquire some of that stuff that The West Wing had in its first couple of years. It’s nice to see that. I had…
It took about an hour, but I finished the letter to Trevor and Andrea and it will go out in the mail tomorrow, and they should have it in hand Saturday or Monday. And to personalize it, I not only autographed the letter, but, after I packaged it all up neatly in its envelope, I…
I left the office half an hour later than usual and had to stop at the grocery store on the way home to pick up a few things. I was trying to figure out what to do tonight (Wednesday evening is the one week night evening where there is nothing good on TV). I arrived…
It has been a long day. It’s after 7 PM and I’m just getting home. I was able to be pretty productive until about 11 AM. From that point, and for the rest of the day I was in meetings. I didn’t really even get a lunch today. I ate while I worked, in a…
In this evening’s mail were exactly 3 items of interest and 10 items of junk. I’ve gotten into the routine of sorting through my mail as soon as I get into the house, lest it linger in a coma-like state for all eternity and I miss paying another bill. The junk was weeded out quickly.…
I was browsing the Apple Music Store a few minutes ago and saw that Bob Dylan had a new album, Modern Time available for pre-order. You can also get dibs on tickets for his upcoming tour. Trevor, who is the husband of thepopeswife is a big Bob Dylan fan, and although I used to tease…
A very nice dinner tonight with Trevor and Andrea (thepopeswife) before they move back to the Midwest this weekend. I’m sad to see them go.
