Tid Bits: 2000-10-18
Dear sister Joann,
Things are going fine here. Been struggling with a cold the past week. But it’s breaking up now and I feel much better today than over the weekend. I tried those Cold-Eze lozenges that have the zinc in them. Seemed to help. The illness cleared up within a couple days. Normally colds take a couple weeks to leave MY system. 
I have a date with [Emeebee] set up for next week, and also one with a young lady named [Kristen]. I have lunch with a long-time coworker named [CVL], and lunch with a manager I had a few years back. The social calendar here is really filling up. I asked the hotel desk clerk to join me for a drink. Said she would but that hotel regulations forbid her from “fraternizing” with the customers. But she told me that if ever I am in Dayton, and not staying at this hotel, that she’d love to go out. Cool. That made my day.
One woman I’ve known for several years turned down my offer of a foot massage [Carlene J]. She would have done it I think. But her husband was upset at the proposition, and she didn’t want to jeopardize her marriage by going ahead with it. They share everything with each other of course. Guess I’ll just have to wait until I get home, and do Krista’s again.
Looks like I’ll miss the Halloween bash at RJ’s. I’ll not be getting home until the evening of October 29th. 
Then, the following weekend, I must go to Philly to get the keys to the new apartment. Looking to move in around the middle of November. Yes, I’m very excited. I think my arrival time on October 29th at the Altoona airport is 6:13 PM.
Hey, you stopped SHOUTING. WHAT’S UP WITH THAT?
Well, must get to work. Thanks for writing and I’ll call soon, probably over the weekend coming up.
Tom
