Even though there wasn't but so much left in the apartments, it almost overwhelmed me. I was able to get everything packed into boxes and will help from both Walter & Sean. Everything was loaded and moved to the new place.
There is so much stuff to sort through. I've got to get the contents of two apartments combined into one and figure out what goes where. No easy task and I may just scream before it's all done getting organized and things are all in order. I did get the keys all turned in to the office so we are 'through' with the old places, so now I can at least focus on the new place.
Sean helped me with the moving out till about 1:30 p.m. After that I got him back home.
Walter was out in the country doing some skeet shooting, when they experienced a big thunderstorm complete with hail. The storm missed us here although we did experience strong winds here.

Friday
I had a surprise this morning at work. Christie brought Master Carter in for a visit. He has grown so much in the last 5 months. He is getting so big.
It has been a busy evening. I picked Sean up after work and we headed off to Wally World so that I could get my nails done before we headed back to the apartment. It ended up taking us longer than expected, but boy to my hands and feet feel so much better. I even got creative and had them paint a design on my big toe nail. :)
Sean enjoyed sitting in the massage chair. He was almost asleep at one point. Quite relaxed.
On the way home we were treated to this wonderful sunset.

Thursday Evening
Here we are at another Thursday. The day has been hectic as usual. I've been working on getting the things together for our next conference. Sometime in the scope of all the going ons over the next seven days, I've got to get some laundry done. Most likely this weekend.
Sean 'll be coming over to spend the night on Friday and part of the day on Saturday. The loveseat hasn't arrived yet (pull-out sleeper) so we'll have to back up and punt on the sleeping arrangements. But at least he'll have his own room to sleep in.

Hump Day
Hump Day has arrived. It's overcast and looks like it could rain at any minute.
Walter and I got the kitchen stuff moved out of my apartment last night. I need to get down there tonight for paintings and curtains, as well as a my painting supplies. Then....hopefully we'll be done with that one.
I've started getting the boxes at the new place unpacked and stuff put away, but moving this time has been so unorganized. I usually have boxes labled and at least know where they go, but not so this time. I don't even have my room layouts drawn out.

A Simple Explanation of Baseball
This is a game played by two teams, one out the other in. The one that's in, sends players out one at a time, to see if they can get in before they get out. If they get out before they get in, they come in, but it doesn't count. If they get in before they get out it does count.
When the ones out get three outs from the ones in before they get in without being out, the team that's out comes in and the team in goes out to get those going in out before they get in without being out.
When both teams have been in and out nine times the game is over. The team with the most in without being out before coming in wins unless the ones in are equal. In which case, the last ones in go out to get the ones in out before they get in without being out.
The game will end when each team has the same number of ins out but one team has more in without being out before coming in.
Doctor's Orders
A guy says to the bartender, "A glass of your finest Less, please."
"Less? Never heard of it."
"C'mon, sure you have."
"No, really, we don't stock it. What is it? Some kind of foreign beer?"
"I'm not sure. It was my doctor who mentioned it. He said I should drink Less."
Restroom Use Policy
FROM: Human Resources Department
SUBJECT: Restroom Use Policy
In the past, employees were permitted to make trips to the restroom under informal guidelines. Effective immediately, a Restroom Trip Policy will be established to provide a more consistent method of accounting for each employee's restroom time and ensuring equal treatment of all employees.
Under the policy a "Restroom Trip Bank" will be established for each employee. The first day of each month, employees will be given twenty Restroom Trip Credits. These credits may be accumulated.
Within four to six weeks, the entrance doors to all restrooms are being equipped with personal identification stations and computer- linked voice print recognition devices. Before the end of the month each employee must provide two copies of voice prints (one normal and one under stress) to the Human Resources Department. The voice print recognition station will be operational but not restrictive during the entire month. Employees should acquaint themselves with the stations during that period.
If the employee's Restroom Trip Bank balance reaches zero, the doors to the restrooms will not unlock for that employee's voice until the first of the next month. In addition, all restroom stalls are being equipped with timed paper roll retractors. If the stall is occupied for more than three minutes, an alarm will sound. Thirty-seconds after the alarm sounds, the roll of paper will retract into the wall, the toilet will flush, and the stall door will open. If the stall remains occupied, your picture will be taken.
The picture will then be posted on the bulletin board located in the Employee Relations Office. Anyone's picture showing up three times will immediately be terminated. If you have any questions about this policy, please ask your supervisor. They have all received advanced instructions.
Crocheted Dolls
There was once a man and woman who had been married for more than 60 years. They had shared everything.
They had talked about everything. They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about. For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover.
In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife's bedside. She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box. When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totaling $25,000. He asked her about the contents. "When we were to be married," she said, "my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue.
She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll." The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back tears.
Only two precious dolls were in the box. She had only been angry with him two times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with happiness.
"Honey," he said, "that explains the dolls, but what about all of this money? Where did it come from?"
"Oh," she said, "that's the money I made from selling the dolls."
If
In ancient Sparta, citizens were noted for economy of speech.
Legend has it that Philip of Macedonia, storming the gates of Sparta, sent a message to the besieged king..."If we capture your city we will burn it to the ground."
A one-word answer came back:
"If".
Hot/Cold Sex as viewed by Grandpa and Grandma...
After his exam, the doctor said to the elderly man: "You appear to be in good health. Do you have any medical concerns you would like to ask me about?"
"In fact, I do," said the old man. "After I have sex with the Mrs., I am usually cold and chilly; and then, after I have sex with her the second time, I am usually hot and sweaty."
After examining his elderly wife, the doctor said: "Everything appears to be fine. Do you have any medical concerns that you would like to discuss with me?"
The lady replied that she had no questions or concerns. The doctor then said to her: "Your husband had an unusual concern. He claims that he is usually cold and chilly after having sex with you the first time; and then hot and sweaty after the second time. Do you know why?"
"Oh, for Pete's sake - that crazy old fart!" she replied. "That's because the first time is usually in January, and the second time is in August."

We both were pretty much worthless today - Although we did get all the clothes moved over.Walter & I hit Mi Hicendia for dinner this evening. We saw this sign painted on the handicapped space. I was amused at the unusual take on a common sign.

Friday
I'm not in the 'mood' to move. I'm just not 'motivated' to gather up everything and schlep it from place to place. Walter & Patrick have been shoving stuff in Patrick's truck - wiht the hope of reducing the cost of what the movers will be.
I ended up going out for the evening - it got me out of their way. I was out at the reservior after dark and tried a new method of photography - just shooting in the dark. Much to my amazement I was able to get a shot of a couple of ducks that were swimming nearby. I missed one of a heron that landed in the area, maybe next time.

I had a wonderful first night in the new apartment. (Walter & Patrick had moved my bed in first). The chore of moving is looming for the day - we're waiting for the movers to arrive. Somewhere in here we are also going to be seeing the cable guy.

Eagles Concert
Here are a few pictures that I was able to get of the concert using the cell phone. Distant and grainy, but it is a cell phone and they wouldn't let me take the camera. :(
Walter & I rolled back into Richmond this morning at 2:30 a.m., just in time to get to bed, turn over a couple of time and get up to head off to work. My brain has been pretty much mush today. Running on empty....
This evening I've been working on putting stuff in boxes. Ahhhh.....We're moving in just over 48 hours and I am no where near ready. Hmmm....I wonder who I could get to pack for me....I don't want to pack...
At least I've got all weekend to move the miscellaneous stuff. Hopefully nothing will get broken in the move. I'm trying to get the old and important stuff into a couple of boxes off by themselves so that they can be handled with extra care.
In just a little while, I'll be running the teleconference for the evening.

It's been a busy day at TecHead learning Dreamweaver. It is amazing how much of this stuff actually make sense. Most likely because I've been piddling around with the html code for a number of years now. But having the ability to apply it in CSS will make a remarkable difference in the way that I get things set up in the future. Who knows I may even get energetic and redo my own website!
I'm off this evening to dinner at Sine's on Cary Street. I'm looking forward to getting out and doing some socializing. I'm sure that the company will be quite pleasant.

Monday
Walter called me early this morning, it seems that his house guest has left the building. But not before leaving him with a memorable experience.
I'm off to my Dreamweaver class beginning today. I've got three days of it. I'm sure it will be a lot to take in. I've got the yellow legal pad to take notes.

I was able to catch up with Walter and the little 'tramp' that has decided to move in with him. I walked and caught her, so here is the evidence...

Saturday
The conference got off to an early start and we were in full swing right up til almost 4 p.m. It was a very unique experience. So many of the doctors that I deal with now have the feel of 'family'. I had hugs from staff and doctors as they were leaving, and I even had a few kisses on the cheek as well.
As we left the hotel we were dodging raindrops, but by the time we arrived at the airport we were able to get into the terminal under clear skies. Our departure was briefly delayed, once on board the flight was relatively fast. I took over 180 pictures out of the plane on the way home.
The clouds were gorgeous. The mountains of West Virginia and Virginia were visible from the air - I have a few photos, but right now am not to sure of how they came out. At around 29,000 feet as luck had it I was the correct side of the plane and was able to take photos of the moon. Very neat. As we descended into Norfolk, I snapped photos of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, Virginia Beach, Peninsula, and shipyard. I'll post a few at a time as I edit them.
Walter called me after I had landed to let me know that a little manx had decided to slip into his apartment. She has come in and just begun to take over his home. She even took over his bed....She's been quite bossy and demanding. I told him to watch it or she would be demanding to stay...

This evening we went on a group outing to the Northfield track. We all had a good time, one of the group even won $1,300.00. Here are a few of the photos that I took while there.I took these from the clubhouse restaurant which was behind huge windows. I was greatly pleased with the results, especially considering the distance that I had to zoom in to get the shots. I did try to take some later in the day, but I lost the light and the images didn't come out at all.
Email & Newsletter Gleanings:Lesson 1
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings.
The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs.
When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbour.
Before she says a word, Bob says, 'I'll give you $800 to drop that towel.'
After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob, after a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves.
The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs.
When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, 'Who was that?'
'It was Bob the next door neighbour,' she replies.
'Great,' the husband says, 'did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?'
Moral of the story:
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.
Lesson 2
A priest offered a Nun a lift.
She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg.
The priest nearly had an accident.
After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg.
The nun said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?'
The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again.
The nun once again said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?'
The priest apologized 'Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.'
Arriving at the convent, the nun sighed heavily and went on her way.
On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, 'Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.'
Moral of the story:
If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.
Lesson 3
A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp.
They rub it and a Genie comes out.
The Genie says, 'I'll give each of you just one wish.'
'Me first! Me first!' says the admin clerk. 'I want to be in the Bahamas , driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.'
Puff! She's gone.
'Me next! Me next!' says the sales rep. 'I want to be in Hawaii , relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.'
Puff! He's gone.
'OK, you're up,' the Genie says to the manager.
The manager says, 'I want those two back in the office after lunch.'
Moral of the story:
Always let your boss have the first say.
Lesson 4
An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing.
A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, 'Can I also sit like you and do nothing?'
The eagle answered: 'Sure, why not.'
So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
Moral of the story:
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.
Lesson 5
A turkey was chatting with a bull.
'I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree' sighed the turkey, 'but I haven't got the energy.'
'Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?' replied the bull. "They're packed with nutrients.'
The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree.
The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.
Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree.
He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.
Moral of the story:
Bull Shit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there..
Lesson 6
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field.
While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was.
The dung was actually thawing him out!
He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.
A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate.
Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.
Morals of the story:
(1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.
(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
(3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

We made it safe and sound to Cleveland. I took these shots from the airplane window. The first couple are would be from over Virginia, and the final one is the Cleveland skyline.
I was finally able to get these up right before heading to bed. Enjoy!
