Off to the wilderness

I leave this morning for a weekend in NH. Dinner tonight at the Toasted Lab...and the Hinmans will be there too! It's a reunion of sorts with the old WSNE crowd. Let's see, can I get David or Chuck and Joannie to pay for my dinner? Just kidding. This trip will be a little different; last time I took a map along on a road trip, I could read it without glasses!

Never have a turkey dinner for lunch

Delicious lunch at RI Hospital yesterday...and cheap! But I was so sleepy after the turkey dinner; it was a struggle to stay awake at work...and it's usually so easy.
I'm getting ready for my big trip to NH. Two hundred miles is a long way to go for dinner, but I hear the food is awesome. Check out the menu at toastedlab.com

Lunch

I'm going to lunch today with Jeanne Anne at Rhode Island Hospital. Scary going into the APC building, but she's anxious to have lunch. She works there; I met her at RIPBS. She and her husband are good folks.
Multi vehicle crash this morning on 95S at Westminster St.....traffic backed up to Exit 29!

News

Here's the news from the world of Mike....
I ordered a chair from McKay's. I hope the color and feel of the fabric will be OK.
Started letting people know about my party coming up on August 7. Too late to back out now. Just so I know who I've called....so far, Larry, Karl, Swack, TC, Jim and Jocelyn.

Always remember...

Always remember, McKay's Furniture is closed on Mondays. It was a good afternoon anyway; I returned some stuff to the Christmas Tree shop and had a great meal at Ruby Tuesday's. Try the New Orleans something . It's tilapia with shrimp, alfredo sauce, rice pilaf and broccolli. Very good.
I'm finally paying Grandma Ruth's inventory tax today....outrageous.

Cox

Well, I now have Cox High Speed Internet. There are some issues which need to be resolved though. Firefox won't work, and I can't update the anti virus or spy bot using Cox. Maybe I need to re install them using the new ISP. I'm not sure, so I'll probably end up calling tech support. I'd rather figure it out myself.

Sound of Erin

Check this out if you want some pretty good Irish music.

www.soundoferinradio.com

Lots more links at the BBC website, some Irish, some not, and you need broadband to receive some.

Also, of course, rte.com

Looking great!

The floor looks awesome! Still a little more to go, and, of course, moving everything out of the way for the carpet installers tomorrow. Today is going to be busy...after a nap, of course.

Believe it or Not!

I got up at 7:30 this morning and was actually awake! I went for breakfast up at Cozy something on Warwick Ave....eggs benedict. And the waitress recognized me just from my saying "A cup of coffee and a glass of water"! I can't hide.

I'm going to pick up Jim around Noon to continue work on the floor.

It's Looking Good!

The kitchen floor is looking good. All that's left to do is the grout...it's going to be a grouting Saturday.
Tonight is the season premiere of Stargate SG-1...the best show on TV!
Another mill fire last night, this time in New Bedford around Cogshell St and Bellville.

Operation

As of 5:00, no word from Mom; I imagine she's sleeping and I don't want to call and wake her up.

I met with the bosses this morning; they know I'd rather work a straight day than a split, but that might mean an extra two hours. Not totally unreasonable, but then I'd be here during the middle of the day with plenty of time to think about how little money they get away with paying and listening to the sales department get richer and richer.

What's been going on

Not much.
I had a great time at Christine and Mike's on Saturday. Never made it to TC's on Sunday.
Heavy rain for the parades on Monday; Bill Crawford and I worked with Dave Richards in Cumberland. Bill and I got wet, but Dave and the others there got soaked. Pretty good parade though in spite of the weather.
No more work yet on the floor.
I just figured out how to change the time of the post!!!!! It's now accurate.

Match Game

Heard on Match Game today

Did you hear about the newlyweds who didn't know the difference between vasaline and putty?
Their windows fell out.

Going to Christine's for a cook out today.

Hail!

We just had the worst hail storm anyone here at work has ever seen. It must have lasted almost 10 minutes here in Providence. Jammed up the traffic, of course. B101 traffic just said it's a little heavy downtown. ?????

Thunderstorms

This morning started with thunderstorms and incredibly incorrect info from Clear Channel. At least commuters won't be bothered by thunderstorms every day.
I'm using Firefox for now; I like it so far.
I took down a lot of tree branches yesterday, left them in the yard when I went to work, tried to get disposal bags, came home and the branches were gone! I'm sure it was Tom and Linda. Thanks. And thanks to Sean for the cutter.

It's July and it's new

The folks from Coast and B101 threw me a nice party last night at Dave and Buster's. Those in attendance were Joannie and Chuck (with Zoe and Lilly), Brian, TC, Rebecca, Steve Mac, Steve Peck, Chris Eagan,and John Pires, the pool shark.
