Sheep Guarding Llama

Min and I slept in a lot this morning. We didn’t get up until almost noon. We went out to lunch at the Double T Diner and then we went out to the mall. I managed to find the book “Who Says Elephants Can’t Dance” on CD which I have been wanting. We managed to get back to the house just in time to head out to dinner at Deep Creak. After dinner we returned to the house and watched some British television which Min has become addicted to.

Sorry that the updates are short this week and coming a bit late. I have had Internet access but I had some setup to do to be able to do the updates from my laptop that I recently reinstalled.

Min and Gibran hit the road at 9am this morning. I was originally scheduled to go to the DCHA meeting at noon but we had too many people going so I bailed on the meeting. I met with Childrens National Med Center at 2pm and then I had to run out to Rockville to pick up Min. I managed to get to her just before 5pm. We drove back to Annapolis in heavy rush hour traffic. We went out to dinner with John, Michelle and the girls at Texas Steaks where they had some live music. After dinner Min and I headed back to the house and went to bed early. Min’s back is hurting from having been in the car all day.

Phil called this evening and we talked late into the night about televisions and computers. He is going out shopping with Josh tomorrow. He is finally putting a new machine together.

I am in a suit today. No one gets to see that very often. This morning I got up and shaved my bleached hair, finally. It has been lingering ever since New Year’s. It wasn’t looking too bad, by this point it was half blonde and half dark but I had meetings today so it had to go. John and I headed into the office at 9am and got there at 10. We had some hospitals come to see our facility this morning and so we spent most of the day showing off the hospital.

Min and Gibran were going to come down from New York this evening after work but the bad weather in NY kept them from being able to leave so they decided that they would travel in the morning.

Today is my sleep day. I didn’t bother getting out of bed until six in the afternoon. After that I watched DVDs – The Family Man, Dune and Beat the Devil. The original Dune was not nearly as good as the new television miniseries from a couple years ago. But at least it had Patrick Stewart. Beat the Devil wasn’t very entertaining. It was rather dry and hard to follow. The story was not intriguing at all. The Family Man was awesome. I really liked it. After that, I pretty much went back to bed so that I could function tomorrow.

Min and I are at my parent’s house today. We got up and went to church, had lunch and then headed on out to Geneseo to see what might be available. Well, we drove around Geneseo for a while but there just wasn’t anything that seemed reasonable. There were very few homes available and what was available was very expensive. We did finally find a new townhome construction site where we managed to get a tour of two of the new homes. We were very impressed, both with the quality of the home and with the price as well. We don’t know what we are wanting to do yet but this house is a real possibility. It is really nice.

We had dinner with my grandmother and I installed a new graphics card in my cousins’ computer before we packed up and headed back down to Ithaca.

I dropped Dominica off in Ithaca around 9:30 and then I promptly packed the car and headed off to Washington. I have a new Sue Grafton novel, O is for Outlaw, that I got to listen to most of on the drive down. I also finished off The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe that I started listening to about a month ago. I love the Chronicle’s of Narnia. I wish that the books were unabridged instead of dramatizations. I generally prefer unabridged novels. I am almost all of the way through the Sue Grafton novels. I have only missed “N” because I can’t find any store that sells it and there is only “P” and “Q” left and “Q” is still very new. So, there are only three total books left to listen to before I have to find a new series to get into. I am still hunting down the second installment of the Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy as well. It is an impossible book to find on CD. No one carries it.

I arrived at Washington Hospital Center at 4:00 am. As soon as I arrived I got to work installing the new 16 port KVM. It took about thirty minutes. As soon as that was installed, I took off to get out to Annapolis and get some sleep. Much needed sleep.
