Firefox

Trying out Mozilla Firefox for a while. It's easier to increase the size of the text; I like that. "Farewell" party tonight at Dave and Buster's courtesy of Coast and B101. It's a sad day in many ways.
No work on the floor last night....oh, well.

It's almost over

June is winding down quickly; the change comes on Thursday. More on that when it happens.
Hopefully, there'll be work on the floor tonight. Unfortunately, I forgot the number for the carpet installer, so I'll have to wait till I get home to call them back.
Just for the record, Cassione predicts beautiful weather through Monday...let's see what happens.
Also, check out toastedlab.com It's David's restaurant in North Conway, NH

The weekend

First of all, on Friday, I took the RIPTA ferry to Newport and back. I highly recommend it; 14 bucks round trip and well worth it.

Today is the first meeting of the Association and I've got to get moving if I'm going to make it.

Newport and the floor

The floor is coming along great. Dining room is done, kitchen is next. As of now, no call about carpet installation.

Going to Newport today on the ferry. Leaving Providence at 10:45, pretty much stay on the boat, then right back...arriving back at Point St. at 1:20. In plenty of time for work!

Bill Clinton's book

If you want to buy the Clinton book, go to Overstock.com
It's 18 dollars, plus 1.40 postage, no tax; can't beat a deal like that.
I want to read the book before all the hype dies down (if it ever does).

It's gone

The trash men didn't take the rolled up carpet today, but someone just did....sometime after 8 pm.
Jim had to work late, so no work on the floor tonight. Hopefully tomorrow.

The first of Summer

My living room floor is now down to bare plywood. Ceramic tile is being installed this week in the kitchen/dining room. Carpeting coming later.
I may have a meeting at work tomorrow. It might be interesting.

Wednesday donuts

Enjoying too many Krispy Kreme donuts this morning. Yesterday was hot and humid; today should be hot but drier according to overpaid weathermen. Vic's father passed away; Vic's gone to NJ.

Monday already

I went to Trinity to see The Ruby Sunrise on Friday thanks to Jason from work. Very good!
Nothing much over the weekend.
Accident just now on 95N at the end of the Atwells Ave. onramp!

Carson and Crosby

I finally got the tape of the Tonight Show from 1976. Bing, Ray Bolger, Marvin Hamlicsh, and Burt Mustin. It's the complete show and it's awesome. The same guy is selling a complete show with Benny and Mel Blanc. Yeah, I'm thinking about it.

Mozilla

According to the Screen Savers, there's a big security issue all of a sudden with IE so I thought I'd use Mozilla tonight. Net Zero Hi Speed doesn't seem to work as it's now set up; if I stick with Mozilla, I'll have to see if I can get it to function. Without the high speed, it's awful.

NYC

Time to write about our NYC adventure. On Friday, we went to the USS Intrepid museum; Pretty impressive, but the flight deck was closed for filming of a Nicholas Cage movie. Big dissapointment.
Dinner at the Friars Club, drink at the Hard Rock Cafe.

Saturday, we went to the Today Show, made reservations for the NBC Tour, couldn't get into St. Patrick's, so we went back to the hotel, then uptown for lunch near Carnegie Hall. Back to 30 Rock for the NBC Tour, then up to the Bronx for the Yankees/Texas game. Great seats if you like sitting perched on the side of a building.
We took the subway all the way down to Battery Park, then across on the Statten Island Ferry. Very good ride, and cheap food.
Dinner at Mars 2112. A lot of fun.
A drink at Applebee's, then an interesting walk from 51st back to the hotel at 33rd.

Sunday, a good breakfast in the hotel, then across to Penn Station for the trip home.

Thursday and it's grey

Attended the after auction auction last night. People got great bargains. I bought some gift cerificates...Goffs, Reidy's and Brown U. Theatre.
Today I have to make final preparations for the trip...laundry, of course. Must get batteries for the CD players.
I still have to figure out how to post pics here.

Wednesday afternoon

Ordered carpet from Home Depot today, and did almost everything else I should have. It's kind of a good feeling to get things done.
Tonight's the After auction auction at RIPBS.

Good Weekend

It's been a good few days.
Went to TC's Saturday night for a "Smallville" marathon!
4 episodes and some outtakes...it was a good time.
For some reason, he invited me back for a cook out on Sunday.
Rebecca and Brian were there, along with Tom St. John. Awesome food, a great time.

Today, I have to get train tickets, cancel Blue Cross, then get ready for after auction auction tonight at RIPBS...and, of course, more laundry.
