Month Past 10/01-31/2009
First week of Oct has been raining and its getting cold. Thu 10/15 weatherman confirmed that this is a different October weather. It's 10 degrees below average temp. Sat 10/10 W left for Arkansas with her bosses. And we had our first snow going to winter. Fri 10/16 Pointwest had a small gathering at home with W's bosses, some staff and former colleagues. Notes: US records a budget deficit of $1.42 Trillion!!! but unofficially exits recession in the third quarter growing at 3.5%. Microsoft Windows 7 goes on retail.
Month Past 09/01-30/2009: Dry September and Ondoy
Tue 09/01 continued working on the pathway that I started last month. Sun 09/06 second time to ride bike. Took same route the first time. Starting to get back the hang of it.
Mon 09/21 heard in the weather news that this is the driest Sept since 1817. But in SE Georgia there's rain and flooding. Tue 09/22 at 4:18 pm is officially the start of Fall. First Day of Autumn. Can winter be far behind? Arrgh.
Tue 09/29 it was a year ago that the stock plunge at it's lowest since 1993. Up until today it hasn't fully recovered. Recession is still here and unemployment is still up. Life is hard and I count my blessings.
Lifetime Fitness is closed beginning 09/20 to 09/26 for renovation. Feel lethargic. A body in motion stays in motion and a body at rest...feels good:)
Note: 09/14 Actor Patrick Swayze dies at age 57 of pancreatic cancer 09/25 Typhoon Ketsana or Ondoy by Pag-Asa's code name created havoc in the Philippines. Marikina was hard hit. Water water everywhere and not a drop to drink...worst flooding in Metro Manila and scores of tales to talk about...

Month Past 08/01-31/2009: Mpls to Atlanta Routine
The first three weeks of the month W's departure going to Atlanta is every Saturday. Then she comes home Wednesday. Last week of this month her departure changed to Sun 08/23 and back on Wed. No idea how long this Mpls to Atlanta and back routine will be. One thing is sure a long haul is good for the business.
Tue 08/18 I embarked on another project. Clear a pathway in our backyard to have easy access to the walk leading to the pond at the back of our lot. The sun is up, it's warm but since it has not rained for days there are no pesky mosquitoes. Makes work easier digging up thorn bushes, cutting shrubs, leveling the path a bit and covering it with plastic. Only time will tell when I'll finish it. Right now I'm into it.

08/01 Former Pres Corazon Aquino passed away after a one year battle with colon cancer

Month Past 07/01-07/31/2009
Thu 07/02 A guy named Sam Jones drove by our street while I was outside doing the garden. He offered to seal our driveway for a $100.00. I have been thinking of doing it myself. But after processing the cost of materials, labor hours, clean up, heat of the sun, quality of work vis-a-vis done by a pro I figured it's a fair deal. Our front door neighbor who usually does it himself also decided to have his done.
Sat 07/04 is the 4th of July.
Mon 07/06 I had my first bike ride again after so many years. About ten years or so since I came here to the USA. It takes a while to get that confidence of riding like: "Look ma no hands". The bike? We bought it almost a year ago (I think) from W's staff who was going back home.
