Neil is off to work. He has a Meet and Confer at the union office before heading to a meeting and then back to his office. No doubt, the results will prove to be very interesting ( Read more... )

The weather has been getting warmer. Today's high is projected to be ninety-four. The rest of the week will be cooler, but I suppose we could not expect this lovely cool spell to last all summer. There is a tropical storm in the West Pacific, and the East Pacific has its first tropical depression of the year ( Read more... )

Nothing much. Neil is double-shifting, and I have about an hour and fifteen minutes until he returns home. Supper will be Chicken Kiev and noodles a la Knorr (chicken-flavoured).

Three rows of the Bear-blankie are sewn together. Yay! Four more to go, then the edging. Bear's birthday is June 7. I just might have it done by then. Maybe ( Read more... )

We're up, we're fed. The MP3 player is charged. Neil is showering and dressing. Here we go! Next stop is to load up the car, pick up Allan and get underway. I have a list of restaurants and eating establishments near to the San Mateo Marriott, just in case. We have sodas and snacks (healthy ones, for once - pretzels and an assortment of dried ( Read more... )

We had our usual breakfast: two maple-flavoured sausage each, two eggs each, scrambled, and coffee. My blood sugar was 100, which is a darned good number for starting the day. No complaints there!

Neil has a D&D game tonight. It lasts until two a.m. (or so the host said). That's okay, though. I have a club meeting tonight: U.S.S. Defiance, ( Read more... )
