Thursday

It was more heavy rain during the afternoon on Thursday. I am a bit concerned with Melissa and Dave driving home today as the entire Eastern seaboard is under a Severe Storm warning.

Luckily, it stopped briefly so I didn’t get wet walking into college. But, it did come down hard again about 10 minutes after I was inside.

I didn’t sleep well again Wednesday night, so I had several cups of coffee in the late afternoon at work. While that did help to keep me awake during school, it also meant I had to repeatedly leave the classroom for the bathroom (sigh).

I had decided that I wouldn’t eat anything when I got home after 10:00 PM and just go directly to bed. But, I was STARVING (not having eaten anything since 11:30 AM). So, I ate more leftover potato salad (still not bad, but I’ll throw the rest away tomorrow) and watched the news. Then I went to bed at 11:30.

    You need an upper/downer cocktail. Fix those appetite and sleep problems right up! All I've got here is stuff that will really make you fly, so now's not the best time. Check with me tomorrow. While you're here though, do you need a watch?

  4. Re: Rolex. I was just kidding about buying a Rolex ripoff (although Jake got me a similar watch back in the St. Clair Days out of the trunk of a car, as I recall). I wore it with pride for a couple of months until it died and nobody would fix it (apparently American watchmakers do not appreciate repairing cheap Chinese imitations).

    But, as a Vice-President, a Rolex seemed like a validation of my position. I remember years ago at B___'s marina, commenting on how bummy some of the owner's of, like, 50 foot yachts, looked. He said the trick was to look at their shoes (Top-sider's) and their watches.

    I decided then I would get to a position where I could afford a Rolex and then past it down to my son.

    But, that never happened. However, I got a cheap-ass Timex either one of you could fight over!

  5. It was a Tag Heuer. You know, you work too hard to be balling on a budget.

  6. "Balling on a budget?" Do you know some cheap hookers?

  7. Urban Dictionary is your friend. There we find that "Balling on a budget" means playing basketball while wearing plastic key chains. In other words, watches last longer when stored safely before engaging in street athletics.
