We talked about you.

I had lunch at the Cypress Glen Retirement Center today with my friends Charity and Susan (who turned 99 earlier this month). I walked around the dining room and thanked some of the men who had served in the armed forces for their service to our country, including Mr. Gaylord, one of the retired partners in my firm.

Sounds like you had the perfect Veteran's day and saw your friends also.
Nice Cathy.

I want to quit soo bad, but was a little afraid as a result of seeing my dad years ago gain about 100+ pounds and I didn't have a substitute, but now I do! Started working out in the morning for the past few weeks and am loving it! Let the burn begin again..... ;)
Congrats to you BON, and the strongest of vibes for your success.

Thanks for all the vibes for my uncle. I saw him this weekend, and he seems to be in pretty good spirits. He did laugh when my sister was teasing him about having the doctor take care of some wrinkles when they're finished with removing the tumor. (I won't go into details on how they'll have to remove the tumor. Suffice it to say that the tumor is in his sinus cavity.)

Nice to know there is an alternate spelling, but that's a crappy way to find out.

Kelly and I had a friend over last night, and he knew nothing about lacrosse but he was just as impressed with the highlights. Fun, fun, fun!

I just watched yesterday's overtime (all 5 seconds of it
) three or four times. Nice way to calm down from the hassle this workplace already is.

Just met our local census taker. She was looking for info about the house next to me, several of you met that neighbor at TillyGate. They didn't fill out their census form, and have moved, but for the life of me I couldn't remember when they moved.

We had the same deal...except I know the guy next to us moved to a roomy cell with no view. I told her I didn't know when, I just knew that he was gone during the dates she asked about. The house is owned by the kid's family..but I haven't seen anyone there since they carted him off to the pokey.

We sent out census in but had a visit anyway. Didn't take long. I didn't answer everything.

Wasn't he the public safety guy at Duke?
They moved sometime between October and today.

He and his wife moved to her mother's after her father died some time in the last few months. They still have stuff there so haven't completely moved out. He comes by about once a week. K68 mows the lawn every couple of weeks.

Al and Tipper Gore are separating after 40 years of marriage. I always thought that if you'd gotten that far, you'd just stick it out.
I wonder what really happened.
So sad.
