The morning report

[susandennis]

It appears that the LJ style roulette has finished spinning. Maybe. Man, I hate a serif font on the screen. I think I got them all gone from my views. Hopefully.

Yesterday's meeting with Sheri was very good. We got a lot of decisions made and I do not think there is anything now that we do not have either a completion date on or a next step date on. Whew. I may yet see the bulk of this done in my lifetime! And... It looks like much of it will be done by the time rsc and jwg are here in July. Wohooo!

I have a good bit of work to do this weekend - some sewing, some furniture assembly, some cleaning and some ironing. Sheri is coming back with John next Tuesday to hang curtains and install stuff.

Mom sent me an email this morning!! She called last night - again strange. It's the second time she's called before she goes to bed 'I just wanted to say goodnight.' The first time was last week sometime. Strange, but ok. Anyway, she reminded me then that she had a doctor's appointment this morning. So this morning, instead of a call, I got email! Once she gets back into the email habit we can stop the phone calls which will be good. We're more email people.

Thanks to the internet, I have friends around the world. And we talk sports. Well, kind of. I only have one sport - baseball. My friend, Scott, in Wellington, NZ has tried - in vain - to get me even mildly interested in his rugby. (He abandoned any hope of my having an inkling of caring about cricket years ago.) He keeps me posted on the progress of his favorite teams - mainly Ortago (since he's from Dunedin).

My friend, Robert, is a huge Seahawks fan. He rarely missed a daily visit to my website during the whole tear-down-the-Kingdome-build-the-new-Seahawks-stadium years. He made his first airplane ride ever when he brought his family from England to Seattle to see ... The Seahawks. I'm still not clear on how a nice boy from Bradford, England gets all jacked up about American football, much less picks the Seahawks for a team to be passionate about, but I loved meeting him and his family and did manage to convert his youngest - Joe -into an Ichiro fan.

And all of this is leading up to... Mike. From Aukland. Mike is a Phillies fan. And has been for years. Since the Phillies are in a different league, we rarely (I think maybe this is the second time) play them. Plus this year, they really don't suck. And we do. And they are in town for a 3 game series and we have won the first two games.

I so love talking baseball trash with a Kiwi - when we are winning. I have the poor bastard begging for one run in this morning's email. Bless his heart.

And, finally... The condo association finally got their resident directory online and there's a place to put pictures of your pets so I made headshots of Betty and Jake. They are soooo pretty.
