I travel the country on business, sometimes the world. Come see where I've been. |
Bloomington Illinois This has been an interesting week to say the least. I've been on vacation, except I've worked every day as much as I xan. I say as much as I can because Wednesday I came down with the good ol' Stomach Flu. I least I didn't puke, but that's about the only good news. I spent almost the entire day in bed, getting up only to participate in a conference call about the September class in Boston, and to post my nightly entry in "Smile! (Groan?) You Know You Love These!" . I think I slept 15 hours total, from midnight to midnight. It's a good thing I was home too, because I couldn't have taught that day. That's the past though, all is decently well now, I'm about 90% healthy in my eyes. I've become a walking trip hazard now it seems. Friday night I tripped on a perfectly level surface, sprawling flat on my face, almost. I managed to turn my body a little as I fell. My only injury was a skinned elbow, and dented pride. That will take some time healing too. Oh well, at least I'm still alive, huh! The work I did was in prepping for a class in North Dakota in two weeks with the Cavalier Air Force Station, one of the homes of the Space Force. Other than delivering the class, I'm hoping I can get a Challenge Coin, or two. More, if I can get them, and depending on how many is available if so. I also worked on tailoring the course materials for the Boston class, that's occupied most of my time. I'm in Los Angeles next week, and still plan on dining at Gra Pizza restaurant, 1524 Pizarro Street, HiFi, LA 90026 at 5 pm. It would be great if others join me. If not, then I will dine somewhere else alone, only because they only serve Pizza there and I'm not sure of the size. I will post on here Sunday afternoon before going to dinner as to whether I'm going there or not. My Current Schedule July 22: Los Angeles July 29: Schaumburg Aug 5: Cavalier AFB Aug 12: Los Angeles Aug 19: International Travel Aug 26: Frankfurt, Germany Sept 2: International Travel Sept 9: Boston Sept 16: San Francisco Sept 23: Montana (Federal Customer who maintains Hungry Horse Dam) Sept 30: Vacation My Pizza invite for LA still stands, and will. I've had no one contact me, so I'll plan this. I will be at the Gra Pizza restaurant, 1524 Pizarro Street, HiFi, LA 90026 at 5 pm. Join me if you will. Please RSVP to this invite so I will know if I'm dining alone (getting one pizza), or will have friends joining me (more than 1 pizza). This goes for the July 22 week or the August 12 week. Can't forget Boston, San Francisco, Kalispell Montana. So is anyone game for Sunday? It can be a Friday night if you like.... It doesn't have to be pizza, that was something I thought would be better suited for families. That's it for now. Until my next entry, write all you can, and love everyone, especially those special people who fill your life! JimD |
