Kathy & I meet with the Alaska Club gang at the Alaska Club @ 10:15. It's
a gathering to celebrate Kathy's birthday...12 fun people to hang out
with. We spend over 2 hrs catching up on each other's life. The only
exercise this morning: The jaws!
I talk with John, the financial guru of the club. He " OK's " the posting
of our " house for sale " fliers throughout the 6 club locations in town.
Afterwards, we visit Jeff @ UBS & tour his office. Today is sports day @
UBS for the employees & Jeff is wearing a LSU jersey in lieu of a jacket &
tie. Some of his peers brought food for the occasion so we eat skewers of
meat balls in the conference room while listening to Jeff's talk on
staying ahead of inflation during one's retirement yrs. Jeff has been
trying for over 2 yrs to get my business to no avail. He's a nice guy:
Visited kathy with flowers after her knee surgery; sends birthday cards,
etc. I make a deal: If his influence & good salesmanship brings us a house
buyer for a very small %, I'll sign up for his retirement program. An
incentive for both. Jeff is young but very good @ what he does.
Then we visit Wal.Mart for more paint. Then we post fliers at 2 more AK
Clubs & a grocery store. Back home @ 5:00pm
Tom & Marge call from Colorado. We talk for 1.7 hrs updating each on our
families. It would be nice if we could be geographically closer to them...
they are really good people...but they have no plans on living a gypsy
lifestyle.
Later, Kathy makes a huge carrot cake for our favorite son-in-law to be
exposed on Sunday. Our 8:30 Dinner: Reindeer sausage, Tillamook cheese &
salad.
@ 10:25 pm we head toward the airport...stopping @ Carrs Sears Mall for
more groceries, Alaska Club West to post 3 more fliers on their bulleting
board and picking up Nick @ 11:30 from Continental Airlines coming in from
Seattle. Back home @ 11:55 pm. We are all a little tired so our after
midnight chit-chat slows to a crawl around 1:20 am. Lights out: 1:32 am
