From last night

After locking up here I headed out the door for my bus and my train into work. I got to my dialer and no Boss hanging around. Good.

I got my regular dialer and JT came in and paid me my $2 bet. That makes us even. Tonight it was Ottawa Sens at Atlanta, JT took Atlanta I took the Sens. I had a slow start as we did a “fresh campaign.” CCSD. I ended up pulling $415 by break. I read a bit out of “Runner” and had my sandwiches. I had a slow start to the 2nd half but did a lot better pulling in 3 CC sales and raised $820 for CCSD. Not to bad. I notice one of the new people had a guitar and I asked if I could hold it just to get the feel of it and if I could play a chord. My fingers are so week after decades of cracking my knuckles. So much for guitar. I think I’ll just stick to piano.

The City still hadn’t cleared off the snow lingering on the streets for the last 3 days. I got the train to Clairview and so far no hassles. I was inside by about 9:45pm and Anne called me on her last break from work. So my outing tonight, wasn’t bad.

On the news this evening there was a bit about the national Do not Call list. Or DNC. There are some loopholes in this legislation, which means that anyone can get access to the list and utilize it.

I’m slowly working my way through “Runner.” It’s not bad but it’s tough going even though the writing is good it’s tough (mostly on my end) to get into this. I need a good uninterrupted hour. Maybe later this morning.

Apparently the weather is supposed to warm up out there as its calling for +5C and even a +8C but I doubt we’ll get that warm.

From the “In case you missed it” department: SF Signal via Giszmondo wants to point your direction to the Star Wars Galaxy map. Yep every planet mentioned in the Star Wars universe is mentioned. You can viewit here.

Some sad news It seems that actor Patrick McGoohan (The Prisoner) passed away and Ricardo Montalbon (Fantasy island and Wrath of Khan) passed away. Sad news indeed.

Anyway Bloggers, that’s all for now.
