Had a good birthday yesterday. Vanessa took me to dinner at Houston’s, a really, really good steakhouse here in Pasadena. We had a wonderful evening together and I am happy I have such a great friend. Thanks again, Vanessa! Received some funny cards from Sally (Thanks!) and got home last night to find a message […]

It’s still raining. I’m not complaining though. It’s not been all that bad since I didn’t have to go anywhere for most of the weekend and it was rather pleasant staying indoors and watching the drops fall. Being on a hillside (and not having to deal with the repercussions of the fall wildfires), I had […]

We never seem to get just a bit of rain. It’s either all or nothing. It’s been raining for three days straight. It started on Tuesday and isn’t supposed to stop until next Monday. A week straight of rain. Wouldn’t be bad but it’s been coming down in torrents! This afternoon we also had hail […]

Went to the doctor today for a follow-up after my hospital visit on Saturday. Seems I’m OK. In fact, I’m very normal. All my tests showed no problems whatsoever and the doctor thinks all will be fine. We’re still not sure why the pain in my chest started, but I’m trying to eliminate as much […]

I was really motivated yesterday to get going with the cleaning out of closets, dressers, etc. I got started in my bedroom and made great progress in my closet. I removed clothing that’s been hanging there for years and hasn’t been worn for just as long. I also found some clothing I had completely forgotten […]

That’s right. Up the stairs. I headed out of the parking lot at work this morning and wasn’t paying attention as I headed up the stairs. Somehow, I wound up falling ‘up’ the stairs. I still don’t know how that happened. I scraped up one of my fingers but, otherwise, I didn’t get hurt. I […]

I’ve been watching shows on PBS tonight. The first was Antiques Roadshow (always a favorite) and the second is a documentary about the Kennedy assassination. I used to watch shows on PBS all the time, but somehow got distracted by network television. Now that there is so little in the way of new shows on […]

Have spent every evening this week hanging out with my buddies in the game Animal Crossing. I fish, pick fruit, earn bells, buy furniture and pay off my mortgage. Mostly I am vegging out with this game. I have been so stressed at work that all I want to do is veg when I get […]

Get your presale copy while you still can! I bought mine last night while Vanessa and I were at Best Buy…and Vanessa bought two!!! Since Vanessa couldn’t find a copy of Animal Crossing at Best Buy, we went next door to Game Stop where we found one. While Vanessa was waiting to pay I asked […]

It’s only been a few days since New Year’s Day, but it seems like that was sooo long ago. Work has been absolutely brutal with everyone wanting everything under the sun completed yesterday. In addition, my administrative assistant has been sick (again) all week. He only took off a couple of afternoons, but that’s only […]

Hope everyone has a wonderful new year. Just finished watching the Rose Parade for the first time. It’s on TV all day here. Will watch the Rose Bowl game later this afternoon as I wait for my pork and sauerkraut to finish cooking. Patrick and Veronica will be here later to enjoy our first dinner […]
