Tuesday

I woke up early from a very vivid dream that Gwen and I had been fired. We were sitting at the airport waiting to be flown home. It was so vivid that as I awoke, I said aloud, "But I'm still at the Hilton!"

The meeting with the college president went very well. (If it didn't go well in her eyes, well, I didn't get her my last name...) I think I've established the fact that I don't suck up to college administration. With that credential in my pocket I can say that I really like this person. She took our concerns, was surprised by the size of the apartments as I described them, and promised to work on the issues. And contrary to my dream, I'm not sitting in the Dubai airport waiting to fly out.

Blowing smoke is what administrators do. I didn't get that sense from her. I hope I'm not proven wrong.

Yahoo phone and texting is up! Sort of...

I signed up for yahoo phone. In 30 plus attempts it worked once in a call to home. Ann signed on my account from her villa and it worked immediately. That means: I won't be able to call much while I'm still in this hotel. The internet connection here is not good. Once I'm on my own and can pay for a good internet connection it should work fine. The one call I did get through sounded amazing clear... like I was talking to mom in the room with me.

  1. I had a dream last night as well. It involved moose hunting and VP to be Palin. With her in office, I should be able to tolerate 8 years of McCain.

    Things in post flood CR are moving slowly. Some businesses are opening faster than others. The Shack Tavern is open. I've heard the Chrome Horse will be open by Thanksgiving. Things are not looking good up the street at Little Bo's. Although, in an article in the Gazette, the owner stated he was going to re-open. However, very little work is taking place. That shouldn't come as a suprise; that place has been there for a 100 years and I think it has the original paint job, or lack of. I do hope it opens; it's one of my favorites. Polena's meat market will not reopen. The owner stated it would cost $300,000 in new equipment and he's not willing to take that step.

    This is the week of the Iowa vs. Iowa State fb game. Go 'Clones!!

  2. You just wish the picture of her holding a gun was real. I'm sure you have some Palin fantasy porn site on your favorites list.

    We should make a bet on the Clones-Hawkeyes and Obama-McCain. Double or nothing.
