The end of the work week and it does not seem to be too busy yet. Michelle has come and gone. She seemed in a big hurry and never gave an explanation of her absence yesterday - not that she had to. Arnie McClure came by for some pellets - he calls his place Poverty Flats- and generally has some grunting and groaning comments. I generally enjoy talking to him and he seemed rushed today and he had his straw hat on so I am not sure what is up. I need to get an email off to MaryEllen and order some stuff for Michael. I did not call Bricklin yesterday and it was his birthday. I will try to hit this weekend.

It was sort of a bust on the exercising- i only had two sets. Tom came and stuck around a while - seemed a little distracted. There was just enough traffic to keep me off balance. I was writing a couple of letters to Michael. I was ordering the books he wanted and trying to get some information together on some magazines I had order for some guy in EOCI. The wind blew like hell all day. It has calmed down a little now but after work it was 20-25 mph. Nothing of importance in mail. A payment and a bill.

I heard from Engells but I guess they were going to have a reception in California. Now there is a mystery and it appears that Laurie is still grieving. That is sort of strange. I got an email off to MaryEllen. I heard from Modesto that Jason VanKooten has a back problem even though he is still traveling with the team.

I watched Blazing Saddles and decided it was all right but certainly not something I could not live without. I guess it is a classical comedy. I can sort of remember seeing it when it came out and I wasn't that impressed then.

I need to get ready to make the trip to Ontario to check on old Joel. I checked out that guy's site and I think the guy is fishing but at least it was a comment.

The Most Memorable Positive Moment was the email from Modesto about Jason. I sure wished he would respond to one of my communications just once.
