Got to see an old friend yesterday.  I haven’t seen her in over 44 years!! She is looking good.  Keeping herself skinny!!

I have a meeting on Saturday and have to work on Sunday.  Don’t care for the demo much.  Some kind of demonstration using bath tissue.

Computer is not working right.  It does not configure with itunes.  We will have to take it back to the place that fixed my side of the computer.

Dan has his surgery on Monday and comes home Tuesday.  Hopefully his brother will not be staying at the house any longer than necessary.
