I worked on the formal Friday, and relieved that it went as well as it did. The second was surreal. I have never personally been to something like that.  It was one of those things you see in movies with roving waiters carrying champagne and caviar and other poo poos. A top shelf unlimited bar, fabulous food, people bidding 25,000 dollars at the auction. This is the pinnacle for me.  The job is incredible and the perks truly amazing.

It’s 43 degrees out and windy. Great wake up walk and now a hot cup o joe to start the day. I hope you have a great one. My presentation Friday was a Home run so that stressor is gone too. Should be a fun week this week. Football tonight!

8:16am
Good morning! It’s grand to see your huge smile.  As I run events, I like knowing about different ways to make them special.  Gives me hope for the economy that these high level events exist!

 Very glad you get these perks to balance the long days!  You deserve it.

8:28am
57 sunny here, headed to 70.  Busy week – some event every day and Hubby’s Halloween project opens Wed.  Whee!

7:27pm
Happy football!

7:30pm Phil
Thank you!

10:09pm
You liking this game?

10:12pm Phil 
Yes and no

10:15pm
Yes – the score?  No – they could play better?

11:39pm
Congrats!

11:48pm Phil
Woooooooooo
Needed that one

11:48pm
All’s well that ends well?

11:56pm
Sweet dreams, kid.

WEEK 9
Thursday, October 13

7:40am Phil
Sounds like fun. A new rainy day starting.  Got done at 8:30 last night. I was flat worn out. Feeling refreshed and ready to go today. Have a great day!
8:24am
Good morning!  Pouring, 60.  Good thing I got a sunny smile from you! makes my day!  Waiting for house cleaner, chatting w/ sis on Yahoo IM.  But it’ll be fine.  Oop – they’re here.  Have a super day! 

5:09pm
Good thing I have Evelyn’s Drive-in on a quiet lake to think about when work gets nutty.  My boss got misquoted in the newspaper – it said he’s resigning (he’s not). He blew a gasket, so I called in staff from home to help him get a retraction, and change the web and keep him from having a coronary… earned my money!  Did you get a new secretary?  Wish I could do it… I am a kick-ass assistant!  Off to drinks w/co-workers for some bonding. Have a great evening!

6:46pm
Had a great time with co-workers.  Nine of us!  and a very special dessert.  It tasted almost as sweet as you do!  😉

Six beaches

Monday, October 10
9:00am
Happy Columbus Day!

From my public journal

Another beautiful day that beckoned me to the beach!   I didn’t want to drive very far, so I did some targeted research with Google maps, scouring the shore line for a restaurant and a beach-filled drive to get there.  
We took off about 3 pm and headed north to Revere.   We saw six beaches:
1) Revere – The tide was out and you could see beach for miles!  

2) Nahant – I made a little detour over the causeway to Nahant Beach.  Several people there.  

3 &4) Then it was up Rte 1a through Lynn and Swampscott, and on into

5) Marblehead to Devereaux Beach

Lady’s Cove, Marblehead

6) Chandler Hovey Park with its ancient lighthouse and rocky shore and panoramic view of the harbor and Salem Sound and the ocean.  It was so clear, I felt like I could see Portugal!
