Log
07:00 AM: I’m up. It’s mostly sunny outside, and the temperature is 51 degrees.
07:20 AM: Leaving now for walk 64 of 100 for 2011, to the south cemetery. Back later.
08:25 PM: I’m back home. I walked around the cemetery as per usual while listening to Dr. Joy Browne’s podcasts. I’m up to the 2011-11-03 episodes now. This was the coolest walk I’ve taken this year, with temps in the low 50s. But wearing a sweatshirt as I was, the experience was by no means chilly. I still broke a sweat.
09:00 AM: Red up the kitchen in preps for an insurance salesman who is visiting today. I’m looking into long-term care insurance for myself, and while I have no intentions of buying any today, I thought that an explanation of how these policies work and what they cover would be helpful. So, I’ll listen to his pitch.
11:30 AM: The insurance fellows visited and ran the numbers for me, to determine how much I’d have to pay for long-term care as well as whole life insurance. They were not pushy at all; not even when I told them I wouldn’t be signing up for any policy today. These costs would be significant. So I might have to wait until these blogs make me a million before I sign up. But then, if I had THAT much money, I suppose there’d be less of a need for these types of insurance.
03:00 PM: Nap time. Back later.
04:00 PM: I’m awake again.
04:45 PM: Watched today’s episode of The Young and the Restless via the DVR.
05:30 PM: Watched the 2011-08-29 (today’s) episode of Dr. Phil, called In Laws Face Off.
05:50 PM: Watched the 2011-08-14 episode of CBS’s Face The Nation weekly news and public affairs broadcast.
06:45 PM: Leaving now for walk 65 of 100 for 2011, to the south cemetery. Back later.
07:45 PM: I’m back home. A cool, crisp walk tonight. Very sunny with temps in the low 70s.
08:30 PM: Watched the 2011-08-21 and 2011-08-28 episodes of CBS’s Face The Nation public affairs news show via the DVR.
09:40 PM: Downloaded today’s music release from Promo Only Express Audio (13 tracks).
10:00 PM: Watched tonight’s episode of NBC’s Nightly News via the DVR.
11:00 PM: Talked with [Emmy] and the two of us watched tonight’s rerun episode of Hawaii Five-0. We’re looking forward to the season premier, to be shown on 2011-09-19.
12:05 AM: Reviewed the daily traffic stats from yesterday for my blogs. The monthly keyword hit count dropped again, and currently stands at 1313; down from 1330 the last time I checked. The record high for this dimension remains at 1788. The next goal: 2000.
12:10 AM: Bed time. More tomorrow. Good night.
