A good day today. Started out with a phone call from a recruiter with a very interesting job. It would be my first choice, if offered. We’ll see how this one progresses.

Then Christine and the grandkids came over. They had each made me a birthday hat, and I got some homemade chocolate covered marshmallows. They were great! We all watched some Disney shows – their favorites whenever they come over. We have a good supply of ‘Mickey Mouse Clubhouse’ and ‘Handy Manny’ (among others) on the DVR. It’s fun to watch them interact with the shows.

They left about lunch time, so Pam and I went out for lunch, and then stopped at Wally World for a few things. While finishing checking out, I got a phone call from a potential employer about a web programming position. Talked with him while sitting out in the parking lot. It was a nice day outside – clear but cold (temp about 40F).

Then home for book/computer/TV. For dinner, I fired up the BBQ on the back (covered) porch, which has nice lighting – helpful, since it was full dark by then (and only 33 degrees). But the steaks were great.

Some more working on the computer in front of the TV. Pam went out and got me a three-scoop banana split from the local Artic Circle. That was yummy while watching TV.

So, a nice day. As for that number up there: my philosophy is that I have to grow old, but I don’t have to grow up.

So there! Nyah–Nyah!”
