Sheltering in Place

[thatguy]

Really? What years? I wonder if we overlapped?

Dunno (bad son). Probably starting early 80's until she retired (15 years ago?)

We totally overlapped. I worked there for under a year starting in 86, ending in 87.

And don’t feel like a bad son. I had to look my years up. Not sure what that says about me (and I don’t care to know, Greg).

I was full time in the media center. It was a great place to work. Very quiet. Lots to read on breaks. In a foreshadowing way, I spent most of my breaks reading periodicals. The other workers were all literate and polite. We had a great crew in the media center - there were like a half dozen of us but we seldom interacted much with the rest of the library staff. There weren’t a lot of guys. I can only remember two others. I’ve lost track of everyone there.

Wow. I just looked up the one name I remembered - Bob Balmano. We used to hang out a bit. Funny guy. He loved above a shop in downtown svale in this cool converted space. He was an aspiring writer and we’d talk books (I used to read for fun) and he’d painstakingly describe his day of writing because he dreamed of penning the next great American novel. 

Looks like he got tow on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/Robert-Balmanno/e...scns_share 

Good for him. 

Thanks for jogging an old sweet memory, tg

718: work

Maybe try out our new vacuum. We got it for the new carpet.

[Greg]

I hope the new vacuum really sucks.

[Drunk Monk]

Didn’t try the new vacuum yet.

710: Kung Fu. Might write a bit. Might just chill.

[Greg]

Today's day hike will be to the couch accompanied by a good book.

Today's day hike will be to the couch accompanied by a good book.

It's about time you did a little reading.

[Greg]

My TBR pile is huge.

[Drunk Monk]

Man, maybe I’ll read today too. I gotta stack of TBRs by my bedside that looks like a jenga tower of Pisa.

[Drunk Monk]

didn’t read or write. napped

711: work & laundry. Tara is passing though visiting a high school friend so maybe we’ll grab a meal.

[Greg]

Feed the birds. Plant the strawberries. Make Beef Jerky for tQ. Vacuum (not with new vacuum) Maybe weed whack.

Also make breakfast for tQ.

[Drunk Monk]

Thought I was ready for bed but then remembered we lost an hour…

712: Monday work. Didn’t get as much done yesterday as I hoped I would.

[King Bob]

Yesterday was good. Got in some good practice on the uke and the bass, and snagged a couple of CDs at the library store that I can sell for a good price.

Back at work today. Hoping to prep a drawing or two for laser cutting. And need to Photoshop some images to update the sketchbook section of my website. Going to the accountant at 1. And it's Pi day, so Christina is making one - lemon meringue.

[Drunk Monk]

Lemon merangue is my favorite pie of all. My mom used to make them. I haven't had a slice in years...

Lucky you...

713: telemeetings (assignments to turn in), meeting with a potential dog sitter for some summer backpacking trips, then over to moms. 

Feeling that time change.
