08:45 AM: I’m up.
09:05 AM: Working the Laptop Shuts Off: 2010-07-15 issue.
12:00 PM: Talked with [Emmy]. She’s getting ready to travel back here tomorrow. I took a beef roast out of the freezer that we’ll likely eat on Monday. My mouth is already watering. Yum!
11:00 AM: Sisters Diane, Christine, and JoAnn came to clean Mom’s living areas here in the house; they vacuumed, mopped, dusted, and tidied things up. That was great. Then, brother-in-law Richard and I moved some furniture around for Mom and it now looks like a new place. Well, not really, but sort of.
03:00 PM: Listened to a Casey Kasem top 40 countdown from this month in 1979 for the past three plus hours. Donna Summer and Anita Ward occupied the top three spots in this show (Donna Summer had two songs in the top three — Hot Stuff and Bad Girls).
03:15 PM: [Mentat's] sister just arrived to take him home. Good by, [Memtat]. Had a great time and I’ll see you again next month when we head to the alumni convention. 
Thanks so much for visiting the past couple days.
04:15 PM: Watched yesterday’s episode of The Young and the Restless on the DVR.
06:30 PM: Just got back from sister Christine’s. Mom and I drove there for an hour or so to relax and mingle with family. Nice. Now, nap time.
08:30 PM: I’m up again. I’ve missed my naps the past few days but have enjoyed the company equally. So I’ve missed out on nothing.
08:50 PM: Well, the camp session began today that I’ve attended traditionally but skipped this year. I’m a little sad not being there but the decision to stay home was a good one I think.
09:25 PM: Walked to Sheetz for some Breyer’s ice cream and noticed for the first time this year, those mid-summer buzzy evening time crickets singing in the back yard. Yep, summer is getting on. Talking to [Emmy] now.
10:30 PM: Fixed Mom’s staticy phone line. This problem has plagued us for several weeks now, and it appears to have been caused by some loose wire nuts in the basement. So, I cleaned the connections and tightened everything up, and the static disappeared. Hopefully it will stay away for a while.
11:25 PM: Just got off the phone with [Emmy]. There’s been a thunderstorm brewing here for the past half hour or so. It’s not terribly close but has produced sever deep, window-rattling rumbles. I hope we have at least one violent thunderstorm this summer. The past several years, the storms we’ve experienced have been rather tame. I’d like to see just one this summer where you hear the thunder at the same time that you see the lightning. But perhaps I should just be thankful that the weather has been as tranquil as it has.
12:25 AM: Sister Christine called and we chatted about family matters for a half hour approximately.
01:10 AM: Posted the How To Attract Women piece to the Tom’s Love Quest blog. While incomplete at the moment, this work hopefully conveys the supreme importance I place on honesty in all things; particularly when playing the dating game. I’ll add more prose as the concepts become clearer and more refined in my mind.
02:20 AM: Bed time. Look for more right here tomorrow. Good night.
