I really didn't do a hell of a lot today other than shoulder some flak for something "I" didn't think was so serious and I went to coffee with a friend and then he bought me lunch (I wanted to pay my own way but he insisted and then I felt bad because all he had was a coffee and a bran muffin). Still it was nice to see him even though I saw him last week I was supposed to see a third mutual friend whom we both worked at the same (at one time municipally owned) telephone company. Sadly for whatever reason Ian was a no show. Still it was a beautiful day I went to a local store that I mentioned in an earlier is winding down operations because of a parent companies operations its very sad to go in there its 80 percent gone. It reminds me of watching a loved one die.
