Thursday morning

Up at 6 AM. I noticed that the old TV, DVD player, microwave, and a few other items were removed from the trash pile overnight. None of them work right (and the microwave doesn’t work at all) but maybe whoever took them can fix them and get some use out of them. I forgot to [...]

Hump day

Up at 4:20 AM. Since I had Kelly’s car (from the weekend), I drove into work this morning and got there right at 5 AM. I was still tired, but I started working right away, and except for an abbreviated lunch break, I worked straight through. I actually felt pretty good about what I managed [...]

And yet even more food

We got to sleep in this morning, which was nice. Kelly’s friends picked us up around 10 AM and we drove to a quaint little place for brunch where I tried to wreak havoc on the strawberry pancakes and failed. It was really nice meeting Kelly’s friends and I had a good time at brunch. [...]

Travel day

Today was a travel day. I was up at 3:45 AM, and the towncar to the airport picked me up at 4:30 AM. Of course, it was raining out, and the driver surprised me by doing 80 MPH on the beltway, even though the roads were wet, something which seemed dangerous given the road conditions. [...]

My first Yankees game of the season

With how much it rained last night and this morning, I never would have believed that the Yanks and O’s would have played today–but they did. I left for the game just after 11 AM and hit torrential downpours on the way up to Baltimore. But then, as if a faucet was turned, the rain [...]

Busy business trip

On Monday I head off to Santa Monica for a week, for work. I usually try and pack in as many lunches and dinners with friends and old coworkers as I can while I’m there. This time is no exception. I get into the office in Santa Monica around 10 AM on Monday (assuming everything [...]

Heading up to New York

17 minutes before I get out of here and I’ve been itching to go for the last 45 minutes. I’m trying to wrap things up here and get out the door at 11:30. I’m heading over to Kelly’s where I’ll meet her just after noon. I’ve got to pack her a sandwich and then when [...]

Home from Disney World

We are back from Disney World. After Thursday, our days and nights were so packed, there were no time for updates. But never fear. Back-dated updates will be forthcoming in the next 24 hours or so.

Disney World, Day 2

Today was Magic Kingdom day. We were up at around 7:30 AM and met for breakfast just after 8 AM. One of the cool things Norm did was get us a 50% discount on all hotel food, so our meals were cheap. So we ate a cheap, but yummy breakfast and then headed out to [...]

Disney World, Day 1

As it turned out, all travel arrangements worked out perfectly yesterday. Kelly and I got to Dulles, were through security in two minutes, and made our way to the Red Carpet Club. We had a couple of drinks there before catching our 9:35 PM flight to Orlando. Our flight was on time and arrived 5 [...]

To L.A.

Another trip is on the calendar. I have to go to Santa Monica for work the week of April 21. So, I’m now booked on United to LAX early in the morning on April 21. I’ll be there until Sunday afternoon, April 27. Kelly may be coming out for the weekend, which would be really [...]

Beantown!

I made it to Beantown. The flight was uneventful, and a few minutes early. Somehow, though I’ve been to Boston many times before, this was the first time I ever flew into Logan. The water approach reminded me a little of the approach into Oakland. Cabs are expensive. $20 from the airport to the Westin [...]
