- 14:21 @evo_terra That's not ocean. If you want ocean, go to Point Pleasant Beach or Island Beach State Park south of you. Now that's ocean! #
- 10:42 Blue Peach Cafe in Manasquan. Breakfast withw #
- 13:34 At GreatWife's cousin's graduation party. She held her when she was 4 days old - that story will be multiple times. Multiple, I tell you! #
- 13:56 I'll have you know I had nothing to do with Billy Mays. #
- 07:57 Up too early for my own good. #
- 09:17 Started clearing out our balcony so it can be painted. Need to buy some work gloves, but it looks pretty easy from here. #
- 10:33 Post-brunch, out shopping at that bastion of cheap capitalism, Walmart. Chair-in-a-bag and work gloves. #
- 11:38 Time to see if I can quickly knock out the rest of the balcony cleaning then leave wife alone so she can study. #
- 12:00 Work's going well. Couple of old insect nests - no one home, thank goodness. #
- 13:09 Balcony's done. That's something that needed to happen outside of it needing to be painted. Yay for me! #
- 17:51 I think it might rain. I think it also might curtail our plans for eating outside. #
- 20:39 Studying Scrabble words. Blasted lexicon has strange stuff in it. Gotta know it, though, in order to compete at higher levels, ergo, I study #
- 08:49 OK, I'm not saying that any celebrities are going to die today; I'm just offering up the possibility that it could happen. No promises, tho. #
- 09:58 @ScottK7 Oh, heck, no. Just about everyone's been saying since last night that I killed off Michael Jackson by saying what I did. #
- 10:05 Good News: Boss^2 is visiting the office today. From what I hear of him - he hasn't gotten to our office yet - he sounds just fine. #
- 08:40 Weekly Thursday teleconference - now with Coffee! #
- 13:28 Hey, when'd I get 300 followers? Thank you! #
- 13:29 Not to be morbid, but who's #3 after Ed McMahon and Farrah Fawcett? Celebrity deaths always seem to happen in 3's... #
- 13:34 @lynetteradio Re:Panera, kicking off people is only during the lunchtime period. After 2 PM and all day weekends, you can surf forever. #
- 13:43 @LynetteRadio Wish I knew the solution to our Panera problem: more free wi-fi, better coverage, more Paneras, fewer Paneras ... *shrug* #
- 13:46 In case no one's heard by now: RT: @cnnbrk: Farrah Fawcett, star of "Charlie's Angels," has died from cancer at 62. #
- 15:49 The Mets win a series?! Who'd have thunk it! #
- 18:31 Ho. Lee. Crap. Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, is dead. Long live the King. And for the record, I wasn't trying to be prescient. Damn. #
- 18:50 Fail whale is in full force this afternoon/evening. #
- 19:04 @kurtdavies As well you might - that doesn't surprise me. #
- 19:07 And LiveJournal is down for emergency maintenance. I think I broke the Intertubez! #
- 19:10 @kurtdavies Yeah, very bad couple of days, and it may not be over. If you look at my FB, there's Cronkite, Swayze, not to mention others. #
- 08:34 I'm the only one in the office now. Everyone else is in meetings or not in yet. Normally, this is OK, but I kind of need to talk to people. #
- 11:46 It just struck me that I'll be playing Scrabble for 9 straight days beginning with next week's club session. Living the dream, baby! #
- 11:49 Just changed my twitter background, check it out! Found it at www.TwitterBackgrounds.com #
- 00:06 "Dear, we need duct tape!" *husband goes to store and shops* *phone rings* "Never mind, I found it!" D'oh! #
- 13:58 @TaTaTanjasrsly Have you just been entering your bills on Where's George without marking them or do you mark them, too? Marking's important. #
- 17:05 I have come to the conclusion that Panera's new cobb salad is kind of meh. #
- 17:27 Wife is squeeing and with good reason. :) #
- 11:35 Where's George hit in Guatemala! New country and double sleeper! #wheresgeorge tinyurl.com/n8knlr #
- 16:07 Net loss of 16 rating points down to 1433 after the Hartford tournament. Imagine how I could've done if I hadn't lost the first four games! #
- 16:18 No worries about my #wheresgeorge hit streak any more. I have my one hit, and I'm happy. #
- 20:49 Relaxing after a diner dinner at Scrabble club. Still taking challenges. #
- 20:59 @mightymur Try the Pearl Street Grill & Brewery at 76 Pearl if you get a chance. Good food and drink in Buffalo! #
- 22:08 @diysara Any major bookstore or Amazon. Official Scrabble Players Dictionary. #
- 22:13 Did I see right that the Mets are 2-8 in rubber games? That's not a good record. Let's get a few in a row going. #
- 08:24 Just heard we had 2 dropouts due to injury at the dance party. Hope everyone's OK... #
- 09:02 @callaflower I wish I could say it was that simple. I heard it was a calf injury. #
- 09:08 Confirmed: it looks like someone in a platform shoe tore her knee up and wasn't able to walk on it this morning. Poor thing. :( #
- 09:13 Four rounds then king of the hill - let's play Scrabble. Good luck to the folks who will win money. #
- 10:59 Two fairly large wins to go even at 8.5-8.5, +176. Waiting for next game's table to open up. #
- 12:04 Another win! 9.5-8.5, +236. Bingo, successful challenge, dump Q, he bingos, big Z-play, big X-play, he draws dreck, and I win! #
- 13:18 That's 4 in a row for me today and a guaranteed over.500 tournament. Yay! 10.5-8.5, +333. #
- 14:26 Lost the last one, but don't feel too bad about it. My second half was very good. Final result: 10-9-1, +279. #
- 15:31 At Papa Gino's in Windsor Locks grabbing lunch before the ride home. The grab-an-animal game got lots of action. #
- 17:49 Close second in anagrams - my words weren't cooler than Jason's. Hugs delivered. Getting gas, coffee. and heading for home. #
- 19:36 Taking a break at the only rest stop southbound between Hartford and Jersey. Drive's been good so far, only raining here in New York. #
- 21:56 Home safe, no thanks to the rain that followed me home from Connecticut. It rained pretty much since I got to New York and hardest at home. #
- 07:55 Starting the morning 2-5, -94. I won big twice against my opponents last night with a Z-stick thrown in the middle which I lost by 10. #
- 11:01 2-6, -121. Lost by 25. #
- 12:02 Freakish tournament. Big win to put me at 3-6, +41. Bagged my opponent pretty badly. #
- 13:13 Finally won a close game for a change. Pleasant change of pace. 4-6, +48. #
- 14:01 And a loss before lunch. Even game, he had both blanks, I had 3 of the esses. 4-7, -5. #
- 14:33 Attending the NASPA town hall meeting. Apparently, PayPal thinks Scrabble is a form of gambling - who knew?! #
- 17:14 Won the first 2 after lunch to move up to 6-7, +160. So used to typing minuses, but now it's plus! Getting back to respectable. #
- 18:36 A tie! 6.5-7.5, +160. I was down a bingo and fought back for the half point, surprised to get the 2nd blank. #
- 19:42 Lost the last one by a bunch. Finished day 2 at 6-8-1, +26. Much better day than yesterday. Tomorrow, the quest for 10-9-1! #
- 21:31 The Texan at the table is aghast at what passes for chili up here in the Northeast. #
- 07:30 Up and about and getting ready for Hartford. Be prepared for many Scrabble reports today! #
- 08:47 On the road to pick up coffee and lucky bagels. #
- 09:05 On the road for Hartford! #
- 10:54 Short rest break in Danbury, CT. Back on road soon. #
- 11:54 Excellent - a bank next to a Dunkin' Donuts with drive thru. #
- 12:59 Arrived safe at hotel. No rooms ready yet, though. Space is very nice. We've got gift bags with junk food & sugar. Reconnecting with friends #
- 13:28 Oh my. Scrabbler hairstyles have drastically changed - guy with dreads is 100% bald, and guy with short hair now has long curly hair. Wow! #
- 13:40 I'm hopeful I don't have to play the guy not using deodorant this weekend. Pee-yew! *hand-waving* #
- 14:00 Room acquired. Personal stuff is stowed. Board's set up - let's play Scrabble! #
- 14:31 Starting about half an hour late. #
- 16:29 Pitching an 0-fer so far. Close loss, followed by big loss to the director's husband. It would help if I could draw. #
- 17:31 Still got nothing. Challenged UNBRACES, it came back good, I lost by a bingo. #
- 18:13 And thus endeth a perfect afternoon. 0-4, -314. Opponent bingoed 4 times in a row. Bingo bango bongo irving. #
- 19:04 @kurtdavies Trying to. Not easy, though, and I can't completely complain about my tiles like I usually can. :) #
- 08:41 Weekly teleconference. I have coffee - no worries. #
- 10:07 I think it might rain. #
- 10:10 #helpiranelection - show support for democracy in Iran add green overlay to your Twitter avatar with 1-click - helpiranelection.com/ #
- 14:05 @MetsGal Still in rain delay. Boss is out there with his kids - hope he's not getting too wet. #
- 14:12 Paid the bills, registered for the NSC in Dayton, bought and mailed cards for Father's Day and sister's birthday - I have done things! #
- 19:31 The woman at the table next to ours is being a platinum-plated b!tch right now. STFU! #
- 21:41 @bpende Many condolences. The love of/from a pet is like no other. #
- 21:54 Watching Twitter anxiously in the bookstore and praying for a Mets win. #
- 23:27 Enough for one day. Off to Hartford tomorrow for Scrabble to do the HO! #
- 05:50 I cannot complain about my drawing, particularly after drawing EVERY power tile in game 3. One of my racks was IJQSSS? #
- 10:40 Still don't have an iPhone or care about OS 3.0. #
- 18:47 I can haz adult beverage. Huzzah! #
- 21:10 Just so you know, _we_ both went for a walk after dinner tonight. :) #
- 11:13 Where's George hit in the Netherlands picked up in Aruba! #wheresgeorge tinyurl.com/mvfssm #
- 20:12 Getting my clock cleaned tonight - again! - at Scrabble club in Princeton. Tonight, I can't draw for anything! #
- 06:03 And another work week begins. However, it's a short one, as I'll be in Hartford playing Scrabble on Friday. #
- 17:10 At the bank, waiting patiently in line, so I can haz moniez. #
- 22:57 I hope all the losing I'm doing tonight is getting it out of my system for the weekend's tournament. #
- 08:06 Up and awake but not intentionally - forgot to turn off my alarm. Oops. #
- 13:13 @donttrythis I'll follow you twice to breakfast, too! It's the most important meal of the day, don'tchaknow. :) #
- 13:18 Spiritual contemplation at Borders. It's been 4 weeks since I've gotten anything accomplished. Time to get back on the stick. #
- 15:30 What Yankee missed the extra point? Send in the scrubs ... oh, wait, they're already in there! Aargh. #
- 08:08 Up and about. Busy morning of errands once I get out of here. After 1, we'll see what the day holds. #
- 09:56 An E4 on a scorecard just doesn't cut it? What's the best word for Castillo's drop last night? Botch? Oops? #
- 13:02 Attending a woodwind concert this afternoon. May go to see Up afterward. #
- 15:02 Concert's moved inside because of poor weather. Some of us are outside on porch with overhang. Roof good. #
- 16:34 At the movies about to watch Up. #
- 18:22 Up was very sweet. Very nice little movie. #
- 19:05 @kurtdavies If you didn't shed a tear during Up, you're utterly heartless. #
- 06:10 I dreamed I was leading an obscenity discussion, assisted by Clint Eastwood. No more fish & chips for me! #
- 09:37 Where's George hit in Uruguay! #wheresgeorge bit.ly/3QAeuQ #
- 13:26 Fail whale sighting! Thar she blows! #
- 13:38 @UniBall_USA Another kudo here on the Jetstream 0.7 that I got from @JetPens. One of the best ballpoints I've ever owned, hands down. #
- 13:40 @davekellett My wife is ga-ga over the chocolate/salt combo as well. Dark chocolate caramel sea salt brownies. Chocolate mousse + sea salt. #
- 16:47 I have bought cheese! #
- 21:24 Watching Speed Racer on HBO - more fun than it should be. I like it! #
- 22:21 YES! Let's go Mets! #
- 22:38 OK, K-Rod, it's your game. Close it out! #
- 22:53 A-Rod and K-Rod. Oh god. #
- 22:58 Aw, FRAK! FRAK FRAK FRAK FRAK! #
- 23:01 OK, #Mets fans, do we release Castillo after this or not? #
- 23:17 @windowseat Laurel, that was brutal! And I was on the phone with Jen when it happened, and she's a Yankees fan. I just said, "Good game." #
- 23:18 Why did the chicken cross the road? He was dropped by Luis Castillo. #
- 23:25 I #blamedrescancer for Luis Castillo dropping the ball at tonight's Mets-Yankees game! (*&%&*^$ #
- 06:05 The bed gets an hour penalty for waking me up with a foot cramp. #
- 11:25 Conference call with people I don't particularly want to talk to, but I know the topic cold. Bring it! #
- 12:06 Done with teleconference. Talking to this one guy makes my hair hurt. Which means there's a lot of pain per follicle. #
- 18:39 Dinner! Om nom nom nom nom! #
- 22:44 Frakkin' Mets! #
