Okay, I am winding down at the end of the day. I’m sitting in the living room with the patio doors wide open listening to the neighborhood kids play in the courtyard. Most of them are pretty good, but we have one whose volume seems to be stuck on scream at the top of his lungs. The wonders of youth! I remember very well running and screaming at the top of my lungs. At that age that is about the only volume you have. It is not like you have any control over it.
I started the day to day with breakfast with the guys at the
Hickory pit. I had a wonderful Santa Fe omelette, which is their special this
month. Amusingly enough I just discovered that Dragon NaturallySpeaking and
Microsoft word disagree on the proper spelling of the word omelette. For some
reason I find that very amusing. In the world of voice recognition software
that is just a small example of how difficult the task it is.
After breakfast we made a swing through Fry’s Electronics
where I picked up a tiny set of torx drivers to try and fix one of my pocket knives
that has slipped off the rail. I am hoping it can be repaired because it is one
of my favorite little knives. It may just be worn out though I will know in a
short while since I am going to work on it after I finish this entry for my
online journal.
From there I swung home and picked up my laundry. I
contemplated doing it here at the apartment complex since one set of machines
were free but all in all I had six loads so I decided to go down to the
laundromat and just do them all at once. That way it only takes about an hour
to an hour and a half regardless of how much laundry I have. While I was
sitting at the laundromat I wrote a long email to Tony about storytelling based
on some questions he had asked during breakfast.
After laundry was finished I came home and folded and hung
my clothing. Then, I drove up to Union City, to the Texas roadhouse, to meet Ty
and Tony for a steak launch. It’s been a while since I’ve been up there. They
have truly excellent stakes. I had a 10 ounce ribeye with a bowl of their chili
and a mixed green salad. It was everything I wanted it to be, which is saying a
lot for a steak. After that late lunch I headed home and slid into the evening.
