Log
08:00 AM: I’m up.
10:00 AM: Scheduled van ride to [Mentat's] place for later this week, where I’ll help him prepare for his upcoming move to Ohio and repair a glider rocker for him. He has one that makes squeaking and rubbing noises. Hopefully, it will be a simple gluing or screw-tightening job. I’ll ready a tool box to take with me in the coming days.
11:00 AM: Posted the Tom’s Views –> Creating Verses Discovering One’s Self piece.
01:00 PM: Watched the 2010-10-03 episodes of CBS’s Face The Nation and 60 Minutes news show on the DVR.
02:15 PM: Watched today’s episode of The Young and the Restless on the DVR.
03:00 PM: Recorded audio journal episode AJE-2010-10-05-14-20.
05:20 PM: I was saddened to learn that CNN’s afternoon drive news anchor, Rick Sanchez was fired over this past weekend for making offensive generalizations about Jews during a radio interview late last week. Hmmm. I’ve got to hear that interview. Was what Rick said any worse than the sort of stuff you hear on Limbaugh or O’Reilly? Perhaps CNN is attempting to distinguish themselves by setting a higher standard than the popular crowd. But nonetheless, I’ll miss Rick.
06:10 PM: I tried to friend Rick, but got a message saying that he already has too many friend requests. Imagine that. 
07:35 PM: Watched the 2010-09-22 episode of Dr. Phil; titled A Brandon Intervention on the DVR.
10:00 PM: Talked with [Emmy]. Her phone connection went down about half way into our chat. She was unable to get a dial tone and I could not get through to her, except via her cell phone. This is the first time in a few months that she’s experienced a phone outage.
11:00 PM: Watched CNN’s AC 360 news show, which focused tonight on the severe problem of bullying in schools. Good show.
11:15 PM: Heading to bed. So good night, and I’ll peck out some more tomorrow. Take care.
