i kept thinking it was saturday all day today.
got up at 5:30 to give the cat her shot. watched a movie called The Hiding Place about thee Ten Boom family in WWII. must confess to napping off and on during the movie. very bleak.
breakfast
toast

lunch
turkey and swiss sandwich

mopped the downstairs floors. elbow was sore when i finished.
went to Walmart to fill my prescriptions. we also bought a few necessary items. a lot of stuff was on sail today. Walmart was not very busy.
very hungry on the way home. stopped at McDonald's for a snack.
snack
chipotle wrap
large fries (half)
iced tea
dinner
broc. & cheese quiche
salad
iced tea
quiche was cooked in the toaster oven using the convection setting. came out very well. we used to have quiche about once a month. haven't had it since the oven broke down. really glad we can now make it again in the convection oven. salad was also remarkably good.
we watched a third episode of To Serve Them All My Days. decided that it is likable but not gripping. won't be watching the rest of the series.

woke up at about the usual time. E had trouble with the shot yesterday so i thought i'd go down and see if i could help. but E had already given Karma the shot. i'll get up early tomorrow and do the shot.
breakfast
bagel w/ cream cheese
banana
oj
iced tea
coffee
watched about an hour of Black Hawk Down. tremendously bloody movie. don't know how people get through combat. the two Delta soldiers who go down to guard the 2nd helicopter strike me as alternately unspeakably admirable and almost equally foolish. rationally you think that they do no good and yet it costs them their lives. on the other hand, the no man left behind principal is so intrinsic to the ethic of these men that you finally have to recognize their action as true heroism. really excellent cast in this movie.
snack
cookies (3)
coffee
we decided that this would be a good day to get our hair cut. E wanted to go to Bubbles at Gainesville and i was going to go to the Hair Cuttery there. when we got to the Wegmans mall we realized that there was a Bubbles there that would probably be less crowded. we sent in there. E got an appointment at Bubbles and i decided to go the American Barber Shop (or whatever) near Staples. while we were waiting for E's appt we browsed through the printer, netbooks, and notebooks. fun. amazing how much less computers cost. really nice monitors are less than $200. if i had 2k i'd buy two new computers, two new monitors and a wifi printer.
lunch
turkey flat bread sandwich
two donuts
iced tea
at Dunkin' Donuts. good but not very filling.
e's appt was delayed a bit so i went to Wegmans and got a paper and a soda. it was nice and quite and cool there.
dinner

egg sandwich
bowl of soup

we watched an episode of To Serve Them All My Days. Still on the fence on this show.

dreamed i was falling out of bed overnight and woke up to the realization that i was falling out of bed! got cramps in both calves at that time. very painful. sat up at about 3:30 stretching my legs to work the cramps out. ouch.
slept off and on until 5:30. went down at 5:30 or so.
breakfast

drove E to the VRE. parking lot was not very crowded.
since E was getting off early her train would be back at about 2:30. decided to work until about 1:30.
E and i went to lunch at Olive Garden. waiter was kind of different!
lunch
salad
bread sticks (3)
angel hair pasta and shrimp
sorbet w/ fresh fruit
iced tea
pretty good. i was very hungry. ate breakfast at 6:15 and lunch at 3:00.
very humid, very close in the afternoon. both E and i were strangely tired when we got home.
LA Story (Steve Martin) was on TV so we watched that. took a nap after LA Story. it's hard to describe LA Story as a good movie. it is very idiosyncratic. i think the most accurate description is probably pleasant. it is a very pleasant movie. not a bad thing. i wish there were more pleasant movies.

woke up just before the alarm today. actually pretty good timing.
slept with the fan in the window the last few days. it got way too cold each night. on Monday i just pulled on a blanket. last night i took the fan out of the window when it got really cold and that seemed to moderate the temp nicely. you tend to have so few days when you can sleep with the fan in the window that i like to do it when i can.
in the core of the summer it's simply too hot. in the spring and much of the fall it just tends to get too cold overnight. we were getting into the 30s overnight in early May.
when we lived on Ft. Eustis we didn't have AC. we used to have all of the doors open and fans in every room. i remember i slept in the lower bunk and Mark slept in the top bunk. i remember the sound of the fans and the moonlight coming through the windows. a very summery feeling.
breakfast
bagel w/ butter

oj

really good this morning. must have been just what i wanted.
watched the 2nd half of FF. i had seen the movie before and really didn't like it but i wanted to see the first movie after seeing the Silver Surfer movie. the first FF movie isn't really so much a bad movie as a badly constructed movie. it tries to tell two origin stories in parallel (the FF, Dr. Doom)and doesn't manage to do a good job in either case. oddly enought the movie may be more true to the sensibility of the comic book than many of the other Marvel movies. anyway i gave the movie something like a D the first time i saw it. on watching it with more patience I give it about a C. can't really fault any of the performances. all of the main characters are solid.
cut the grass before lunch. thank goodness. if i had waited it would have been way too hot.
lunch
salami and cheese sandwich
pickles (2 spears)
banana
coke
huge headache after cutting grass. aspirin is not helping.
dinner
chicken salad sub (ft. long)
iced tea
from Subway. not bad chicken salad but like in many places, way too sweet!

woke up at 20 of six and realized that i was late to feed the cat. as i was getting dressed karma came in to petition for breakfast. she's now gotten used to eating at 5:30! Elizabeth came down just a little after i did so Karma ended up getting her shot at about 6:00.
Elizabeth went back to bed
breakfast
toast

i watched an episode of ST:TOS called The Cloud Minders. not bad. cheesiest floating city ever. Droxine (Diana Ewing) may the the sexiest Trek babe of all.
lunch
spring rolls (2)
fried rice

general tso's chicken
iced tea
from the food bar at Wegmans
made the mistake of going to the grocery store on Sunday. insane.
thousands of dishes to clean today. lots of stuff came out of the fridge in tupperware etc. didn't think i'd ever finish the dishes
dinner
bagel w/ butter
iced tea
crackers
i watched The Savage Curtain on ST:TOS tonight. Kirk and Spock team up with Honest Abe Lincoln and the father of Vulcan rationalism to fight Genghis Khan and three invented villains from history. Very talky episode. Terrible title. The rock person who orchestrated the whole thing looked surprisingly like Pizza the Hut from Space Balls. Talk about writing yourself into a corner. Perhaps the most unsatisfactory episode of all. By the same token, it was pretty entertaining. The guys who played Lincoln and the ancient Vulcan did quite nicely. The villains sucked pretty profusely esp. the Col. who was supposed to have led a chemical or biological war.

had to jump in the shower early because the frig repair guys window was between 9 and 12.
Elizabeth went to Tudor Place today. She did her first two tours. She said they were both well received!
frig guy called at 11:50 asking for directions from Woodbridge. I was actually surprised that I knew how to get from Woodbridge to Warrenton. he actually arrived around 1:00 and diagnosed the problem pretty quickly. Based on the rule that everything costs between 200 and 300 dollars, the repair was $235. ouch. but frig seems to be working now.

had to go to Walmart for meds. pouring rain most of the way.
met my old college friend Tom Walls for dinner in Warrenton. we went to a Thai place called faang. very good. it was nice to chat with Tom again. seemed to dissolve a lot of time away.

the episode the day before featured Lwaxana Troi in possibly the only serious episode they ever made about Lwaxana. good story, well done. we learn that Deanna had an older sister she never knew of.
