I’ve talked about my recurring dreams about elevators in the past. I’ve also talked about how in my dreams, I tend to be afraid of heights while in real life, I have no fear of height or elevators. Last night I had what I consider to be an “anxiety” dream. Again, it’s probably nothing more…
Last year, I hosted a dinner at the Rainbow Room for some friends as a kind of birthday celebration. I never really celebrate my birthday, but last year, I figured, why not. It was so much fun last year, that I’m doing it again this year, and we are now just over a week away…
When last I was in New York, I walked one evening down 2nd Avenue with Jen, Jason and Jenn on our way back to Jen and Jason’s apartment. While walking, we passed by Elaine’s and I, said “Hey, isn’t that Elaine’s from the Billy Joel song?” But I couldn’t remember which song it was (I…
First, jkashlock and I had a big breakfast. Remember that I didn’t eat before my workout this morning, so I was pretty hungry when it was all over. We went to a little diner on the corner of 85th and 3rd and had eggs and bacon and hash browns and toast. Then we decided to…
I just found out that my flight at noon today was canceled due to weather. The weather doesn’t seem bad here right now, but maybe it will be later. Anyway, I called and the earliest I could get re-booked for was 7:30 tonight. I tried rule 240, but because it’s weather-related, all they can do…
I worked out with Jen and Jason this morning at their gym in New York. I skipped my workout on Saturday, but I was back to my routine this morning. I didn’t have a chance to eat beforehand, but I still did okay.
I didn’t go the gym on Saturday, but it wouldn’t have worked out, given the time constraints that I had. Instead, I went out to get some wrapping paper for Norm and Vicky’s gifts and then jen_ashlock was kind enough to help wrap the gifts, as I am a terrible wrapper. Now that Norm and…
I got into New York around 7 PM last night. I would have gotten here a little earlier, but there was a ground-stoppage going into La Guardia so my plane sat on the taxiway at Dulles for 15 minutes until the stoppage cleared. I got to Jen and Jason’s around 7:30 and shortly afterward, we…
I’m about ready to head to the airport. I have a 5:30 flight but I don’t want to rush. I’m all packed up and I’m really looking forward to this weekend. It should be fun. I printed out the 102 page manuscript to “Graveyard Shift” and packaged it up so that I could send it…
I’ve made good progress on what I should be working on today and I feel good about that, but I can’t rest on my laurels this evening, the way that I did yesterday. I’ve got a lot to do. I fly up to New York City tomorrow afternoon. So I have laundry to do. I…
I next head to NYC the weekend of January 13-14 for Norm and Vicky’s wedding shower. I made my travel arrangements last night, and once again, I’m flying because it was half as much as taking the train. I head to NYC on the evening of Friday, January 12 and I return home on the…
It might sound like the title of an Agatha Christie novel, or even some science fiction thriller from the 1950s. But this is, in fact, a true story, though no less dramatic and suspenseful than its fictional counterparts. You see, I can add to the list of science fiction writers I have met. Yesterday, at…
