Shots from the Lip

First and foremost:  I spilled most of my Starbucks coffee in class today - caught it all on a handkerchief that while still moist, reeks of coffee....... We have a banking problem:  so much information available that it is too difficult to find something specific - we found what the bank did not pick up where they should have picked up....and based upon that initial bank data, there'll be some corrections made......such is life...... I've now got the books I want to read on my Kobo reader as well as my iPhone.   want to get the app on my Leitz Phone 2 and get the photos to transfer elsewhere because the Leitz camera is simply too good and I should find a use for it! 

 Rain tomorrow night along with temperature drop.  More rain on Wednesday and then cold and wet for a week or more......unless there are changes????? I never saw it:  My GP, Jeff Fujimoto, scheduled an MRI of my stomach - I knew I had stomach weaknesses.......it is 'routine' scheduled for 16 March........ Today we will try Domino's Pizza - since I have sweaters to be dry cleaned....... Not much to write about - I am comfortable in the new routines and times I am 'allocating'.....this is a never ending battle to prevent brain rot!

It was still cold this morning but there were far less runners out today and it was wonderfully sunny along the bike paths today....still a 6 shirt (in total) day....... Temperature due to go up to 26C today with sun out all day but it gets bad in a couple of days with temperature forecast to a high of 17 on Wednesday with rain both Tuesday and Wednesday. So this means, get out and do photoshoots both today and tomorrow while the going is good! This is the final week of classes for the winter session.  But the week after, on the 17th, the Spring semester which runs through mid-June, begins.  In addition to my 'usual' two classes for which we'll be 'continuing' where we leave off this week, I am also taking a 'live' current events/public affairs class on Wednesdays, same room, right after the comedy class. AND.......today I begin the piano course I have chosen to commit myself to - if I stick with it - 4 days a week - half-hour sessions - I believe that I wil...

The black thermal long sleeved undershirt......a cashmere sweater.....the long sleeved, colorful bike shirt......the Jerry long-sleeved......the Rapha long sleeved plain.....and my customized Larry short sleeved, multi-colored bicycle shirt.......and I was still cold. Still, better to be out than not!!! The temperature on my phone says 20C.  It does not feel like it.  Supposedly, it'll go up to 23 and as much as I have been avoiding it (fear has much to do with it) I will attempt to get started again with my film 35mm camera. Shopping at the markets this morning?  Doesn't look like it....... Time to read half of what I printed out from the newspapers to read....and then to follow my calendar for the day........it is now 10:36am and let's see how the day goes.....

I put in just about two hours yesterday night at St John's Hospital Orthopedics floor.  Surprisingly, I actually completed the rounds through all 48 patient rooms on the hospital's third floor.  As the weeks pass, I am 'defining' what I want to do there on Thursday nights.  Firstly, I am 'comfortable', now, with not necessarily completing visits to all the rooms.  Putting in 90-110 minutes, at most, without any break because the cafeteria is closed and I cannot get my free, large Starbucks coffee (they must owe me 3 gallons worth accumulation because of closed cafeterias!)...and most importantly, as I go into rooms that 'really' want to talk, I'm now staying and talking more as this, to me, really seems beneficial for those patients wanting to talk.......and assuming (as last night) where there were 4 or 5 rooms where I stayed longer time, as I put in the time but feel that I've done enough for the night, I'll finish, regardless of the time.....

 I simply never got around to writing yesterday - no big deal - nothing vital to say yesterday, anyway. What I probably would have written is that I finally have my Kobo e-book reader working the way I want it to (but for the Google additions that will have to wait for TianTian to get here).  Anyhow, I am currently doing all my reading on the Kobo, having discovered that while Kobo Plus is a waste of time, simply getting a book from Kobo is as easy as from Kindle.....and at the same exact price as Kindle!  Thus, a better e-book reader gets my use.... What I am reading:  1929  - Sorkin gets the reader involved with his writing - and parallels between then and now are abundant for warning...... The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay - I read it when first published....but knowing that there's an opera now, I want to re-read before seeing how it goes as an opera....... Farrenheit 451 - yes, I read it once but now that this will be the first book covered in the...
