up early for a concall. could not connect. rescheduled for Friday.

lots of errands in the am. no breakfast until after 8:00.

breakfast

bacon, egg & cheese bagel
sausage burrito
iced tea

at Mickey D's in Bristow.

coffee

caffe mocha

at Caribou Coffee. really good.

there's an older gent who walks in the are of the Caribou Coffee every time in that area. i'd say he's middle eastern, maybe Lebanese. i get a kick out of him because he wears on Aston Villa warm up (probably official) and carries an umbrella. he gets a cuppa when his walk is done. might have to follow his lead.

in India i met lots of Man U supporters. one of my tuk tuk drivers in Laos was a big Arsenal fan. i've met Chelsea fans and Tottenham fans and so on. never met an Aston Villa fan before.

lunch

bagel w/ butter
iced tea
yogurt

snack

pretzels
iced tea

i watched part of A Yank at Oxford in the afternoon. i had to go to meet the train at the bonfire scene. i'll have to rent this one if it's on Netflix.

dinner

salad
ravioli w/ tomato sauce

sauce was a little too sweet.

we watched another Lovejoy episode. season 5. in the Lovejoy books, Tinker is supposed to be such a wastrel that he smells terrible and is rather difficult to be around. in the TV show Tinker is rather a pleasant older gent who drinks a bit too much.

i started to watch the RSO's version of Hamlet on Great Performances. i found it pretty interesting but couldn't watch after a certain point. Hamlet was played by David Tennant who also played Barty Crouch, Jr. in Harry Potter in the Goblet of Fire. i found that very distracting.
