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.<\/p>\n
Then Christine and the grandkids<\/span> 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<\/span>. It’s fun to watch them interact with the shows.<\/p>\n 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).<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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<\/span> Circle. That was yummy while watching TV.<\/p>\n So, a nice day. As for that number up there: my philosophy<\/span> is that I have to grow old, but I don’t have to grow up.<\/p>\n So there! Nyah<\/span>–Nyah<\/span>!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A good day today. Started out with a phone call from a recruiter with a very interesting job.
